Awesomesause175 potassium hydroxide would react with the acids very exothermically which could splash everywhere and the last thing you want is acids flying everywhere
I once heard a chem prof. tell of a time he asked some students that were rummaging around in the equipment drawers on the first day of lab what they were looking for. They said they were trying to "find the meniscus", per one of the steps in the instructions...
Rooster The undergrad treated the boiling stones as a unit of measurement. He should’ve just said something along the lines of “3 boiling stones were added.” We don’t weigh them or try to divide them up in a laboratory, we just add whole numbers of them to our solutions 😊
I just want to say that as a Chemistry major, this video has become a popular inside joke at my uni. My classmates and I never fail to quote this video during labs. You guys are brilliant!!
As a chemical engineering undergrad, I can say with certainty that these are all true. The hydroxide in the acid waste bin is extra funny for me because last year a TA put HCl in the basic waste carboy (it was a plastic carboy) filled with ammonia and sealed it. nobody was injured, but lets just say that the carboy exploded from the pressure and sprayed the waste everywhere.
The hardest chemical to get rid of in the waste chemicals bin are the ones where you have one functional group which reacts with all three types of bins then your Chemistry knowledge really gets tested.
when you forget to cool the washing solution before hand EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! or when you forget to dry the apparatus a day before working with Grignard reagents ,,,, i cri :(
lab instructor said to wash glassware a week before the actual lab takes place and put in the drying oven. Half if nor more forgot to. 2-3 groups had to use my data alone and they piggybacked a free 95 -.-
True. One time I asked "where are the test tubes?" It was literally right next to me. On my behalf! A person was blocking the view so I couldnt see it.
Funny that this video just showed up in my recommended. I actually did a Fischer esterification in my organic chemistry lab today. The resulting ester did smell pretty nice.
I always tried to do things myself but I am definitely guilty of not taking the lid off of the funnel thing while liquid mysteriously wouldn't come out...that was embarrassing. Luckily I am not a chemistry major.
"wait don't erase it" spot on lol
I had this one student record me while I was doing tutorials. Ugh can you not ask me first?!
Heck my algebra class was like that
and the u never use 80% of the photos lmaooo
LOL as a chemistry major i can 100% say that over half of this stuff has come out of my mouth xD
What colour is this?
But come on, you at least never thought thaz Acetone went to the acid waste, did you?
It doesn't help that professors expect everyone to know everything before taking the class. That's what the class is for.
I kept an old undergraduate report. Results (my words) "Smells not unlike almonds" (Markers words) "DO NOT SMELL THE CHEMICALS"
Andrew McLeod this fuckin killed me 😂😂😂

The thought of pouring a hydroxide into the acid waste bin gives me shudders.
whats wrong with it
***** Just get really hot and from neutralization rxn.
People tend to forget that these reactions are exothermic...
Damn this got salty real fast... and hot!

XD
I’m dead 💀
no way that's actually true, how
this was so funny i cried omg "acid-tone' LMAOOO
alittlebritobsessed he meant Acetone you know right?
I swear to God, I’ve heard the “I’m a preeee med, so eeeyeaaa” way too many times. -_-
Im a premed
🤢🤢🤮
@@Adriaticz so eeeyeaaaaa
I died at the boiling stones part, lol.
Thats the only one I didn't understand probably went over my head lol, what is it?

Relatable af

Can I get a FUGGING regrade?
WELL DO THEY MARK THAT PEAK OR NOT!?!?
finger print region bruh
Lol
NO! that is insignificant if that is a photospectrometry curve.
@@chemicalmicrobe ok... I'm out of my depth. XD

hey let me ask some questions about chem e, cause i'm a chem e too? like msg me plz
mathew carlson I have no idea how to private message you. What're your questions
Does the acidtone go into the acid waste? xD
@@firehoax9230 It's acetone.
@@fluffyunicorn57 He's quoting the video, that's the joke
TA'd general chemistry twice, can confirm.
I'd like to also submit "is this centrifuge balanced?" when it is clearly, visibly, NOT BALANCED.
"TA-ed" as well. I can also confirm.
Or like, is this too much for rotovap?
-> shows a nearly full RBF
“Is this centrifuge balanced?” *Meanwhile all the Eppendorf tubes are on one side next to each other*
"ohmygod don't erase it"
story of my like back then, my photo reel was nothing but note pix for the longest time!
my teachers would punch me in the throat if i ever asked them for a regrade, that crap doesn't fly after freshman year.
“Is there gonna be a curve” is the iconic question all science students ask.
The hardest chemical to get rid of in the waste chemicals bin are the ones where you have one functional group which reacts with all three types of bins then your Chemistry knowledge really gets tested.
"Whys it not coming out?" If that ain't me
Currently a chem undergrad, can confirm this is 100% accurate
The "is this enough sodium sulfate" leaves me wheezing every time
Hahaha this completely describes every person in any chemistry lab
"Is there going to be a curve?"
No. Never. There is never a curve in science. EVER.
Bahahahah! I am a chem teacher! This cracked me up... especially the chloroform sniffer!
“What color would you say this is?” TOO RELATABLE
Holy shit the lid on the separating funnel MY GOD THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE SEEN THIS SHIT XD Excellent vid

Hm. We dried ours quickly over bunsen burners - the only time flames were ever allowed in that lab.
I'm a chem major and I can say that most of this stuff I have said or seen other chem majors say lol!
The guy nodding off who yells “ACETONE” is me lol
This is the most accurate video I've ever seen.
"Is it supposed to be that colour?" Me everytime
No... Hair... Ties! GAH!
things that chemistry college diploma students laugh about undergrad chem students
That's literally me when I'm a newbie in the lab and I'm having some technical difficulties there hahaha
Not a chemistry undergrad but I've taken general chemistry, chemistry of solutions and organic chemistry (in cegep) and I can relate
writing down the exact measurement of the boiling stones in the notebook had me xD ill admit i've done that.
I was guilty of almost all of the lab ones after my first week x)
OMG. Where has this video been all my life!
True.
One time I asked
"where are the test tubes?"
It was literally right next to me.
On my behalf! A person was blocking the view so I couldnt see it.
Not even in uni and I'm always asking prof for confirmations on tool locations, colours and quantities
This sums up senior grade
Sodium sulfate joke was way too accurate
This gives me flashbacks... oh, the pain.
Yeah, ive said shit like this in chemistry lab, but chemistry/lab has been the absolute most fun out of all my other labs and classes!!
“Does the acid-tone go in the acid waste?” lmao
all these kids taking chem when they're "going to med school after" lmfaoo; SAY IN BIO!
The separatory funnel bit was insanely accurate. To this day i still forget to take the stopper off.
Only took one chemistry course and this video managed to cover most of it.
Funny that this video just showed up in my recommended. I actually did a Fischer esterification in my organic chemistry lab today. The resulting ester did smell pretty nice.
Ohhh now I know why Wikipedia knows what hydrogen cyanide and phosgene smells like
I always tried to do things myself but I am definitely guilty of not taking the lid off of the funnel thing while liquid mysteriously wouldn't come out...that was embarrassing. Luckily I am not a chemistry major.
I am just going into chemistry class so i am now googling chemistry memes to see what its about
I'm in a college level chemistry class in high school and this is 100% accurate when doing lab work!
You must also be premed.
I’m about to start my first chem class. Am going to see if I can go the semester without saying any of this stuff…
im in tears! so true! omg the seperatory funnel still happens to me after 394654 times of using it. life.
The acid tone joke was my favorite.
Just entered into the O Chem classes for my Molec Bio major.
This shits gold.
"Is this enough sodium sulfate?" So true
The air instead of vacuum for filtration is so relatable lol
it’s painful how relatable 2:22 is
Separatory funnel is the truest shit
this video was ON POINT! lmho!!!
The seperatory funnel killed me lol
i don't know why but the closed seperating funnel still gets me
i need help
It had when they asked if they used enough sodium sulfate
Laughed insanely at this video. Very true. We've all been there. Regrade!
this was so accurate it hurt my feelings
The lab part of this video high-key gave me anxiety lmao
1:49 honestly described my O chem and Analytical chem labs
As a undergrad chem major I have said every single thing on this video
I can confirm- we say it all the time 😂
"So can I like drink this ethanol?" LOL :D
I related 1000% when I was a chemistry major
what colour is this really hit close to home
Thank God none of my students were dumb enough to ask whether they should label a peak in the BLANK SPECTRA.
you forgot: "Which one's the distilled water?"...in front of the labelled tap....
So does the "acidtone" go in the acid waste lawls.
I'm about to graduate with my chem undergraduate. I've heard almost all of these things said.
Is this enough magnesium sulfate??
This was amazing :)
"Will you Really check the purity of my product?"
I'm making a bingo card next time I'm a lab TA.
THA TAKIN’ PICTURE = ACCURATE
This shit is really funny yo.. I got Chem coming up next!
I thought I was the only one who actually said some of these things, but I find out that I'm not alone!
“I wonder what this hexane smells like...”
I'm lolling so hard!!!! Each single thing happened to me before!!
All of this is just me when we do practicals
I feel bad for myself.
I'm sorry I just want to know if I added enough sodium sulfate to dry it :(((
can also be, except a few small things, shit high school kids say in chemistry
2:01 legit I almost had a heart attack 😂
Huh. That was basically my experience with AP Chemistry in high school. Chem is fun :p
Omg hahahaha this is so on point! Reminds me of my lab partner
Yep. Sounds about right for me. 😂
"Premeds suck so much."
D:
I asked where the pipettes were today..... >_>
As a biochem major, I am guilty of this
" is my reaction wrong? "
I am going on my third chemistry classes and YEP it is true.
NO LONG HAIR IN THE LAB!
You guys kill me.
