[...] The alkaloid content of coca leaves is low, between 0.25% and 0.77%.[3] This means that chewing the leaves or drinking coca tea does not produce the high (euphoria, megalomania, depression) people experience with cocaine. Coca leaf extract had been used in Coca-Cola products since 1885, with cocaine being completely eliminated from the products in or around 1929.[4][5] Extraction of cocaine from coca requires several solvents and a chemical process known as an acid/base extraction, which can fairly easily extract the alkaloids from the plant."

@@charlestalks5638 Oops, mistake. It's a negative logarithm of the H30+ concentration. And I had forgotten what is acid, what value is neutral and what values are alcalid. Where is neutral? Zero? And minus 7 most acid, plus 7 most alcalid? I am sooooo glad Americans don't have oldfasioned Fahrenheit like scales for this. I NEVER use °F, it is Kelvin or °C, that Fahrenheit is bonkers, but still in use.
i literally can't stop watching these videos, it's been over a year now, and i still love listening to you guys teach about all these elements, and their properties.
Quintinohthree Yes, I would think that too. It would be worth checking though, no? Maybe it has something more to do with the group 1 metals than the alkali properties.
+IamGrimalkin Alkali here refers to the solution they make when dissolved in water. All basic solutions are alkaline. Alkali metals in aqueous solution have barely any effect on any reaction, though if any effect was induced this would be periodic. Seeing as sodium and lithium appear to react similarly I'd say there's nothing special about the alkali metals here.
Quintinohthree Yes, presumably, and that seems more likely than not. But you won't know for sure unless you use a non-group 1 base and see whether you get the same effect.
+IamGrimalkin True, but not every experiment is worthwhile. If you have reasonable suspission that another similar reagent might react differently, you can make it into a hypothesis and test it. In this case though I think previous observation and established knowledge suggest changing alkali metal hydroxides for calcum hydroxide or some other similar chemical would have little difference, except perhaps because calcium interacts more strongly you'd get more reactions occurring, like the precipitation of calcium carbonate, which might obscure the reactions you were studying.
I just love it; starting the experiment as a "pun" and finally having an unexpected and interesting result. That's just why I love chemistry and science so much.
One of the most interesting science video I saw on the internet. An experiment, an explanation of the reactions. A counter-experiment to test an hypothesis and the building of a theory that will lead to other experiments to confirm it. That's the full path of scientific work.
BenCubed The hamburger in acid video, some site, I think it was buzzfeed, made an article trying to say that's what McDonalds looks like in your stomach or something like that.
I really enjoyed this video, and would love to see more like it on this channel!! I'm not sure how hard it is to make, but it's really interesting to see how chemists just throw stuff together and see what happens to test their ideas
Justin Koenig You take the solution and drop it on the tester, not the other way around to avoid contaminating the solution. That's like chemistry 101.
psychoh13 Speedow Contamination of the solution really is a non-issue in this experiment. They aren't trying to prove that some specific material is in the solution, they just want to find out what happens if you put Li into 7up. The quick'n'dirty way really is sufficient here.
That was quite an interesting look into how chemists might go about experimenting on unknown solutions. Something about this video struck me as, "Ah, so this is where the fun in chemistry is!" Making a hypothesis, testing via experiment, formulating conclusions... The scientific method felt so restrictive and contrived when I learned it in high school, but seeing it applied here in such a casual and natural manner really displays its power and utility in a way I have not seen before.
It's quite amazing what you can discover and learn from something that started out as a mere joke. I hope that this is investigated further and you guys discover whether or not you actually did create an indicator, that'd be pretty cool!
We used to do some crosslinking experiments with mono, and di-sacharides (sacharose, galactose... etc) using different bases (NaOH, NH3 and even benzyltrimethylammoniumhydroxide) and an epoxide as crosslinker. Even in the control test without the epoxide crosslinker the brown color was formed. the more alkaline the solution the more rapid the color was formed. it smelled somewhat like syrup/caramel. To quenche the reaction we added acid, and also here the solution turned colorless overtime. If you store the unquenched solution in the fridge for about a week its colorless again.

I think it might be a British thing. Tom Scott has a video on product placement in the UK.

This video is fantastic, I love how the prof's passion and curiosity in chemistry comes across in this video.
Do you think, for confirmation, it might be worth trying a non-group 1 base, since sodium and lithium are both group 1?
A base is a base, it doesn't matter which you use.

We used to do some crosslinking experiments with mono, and di-sacharides (sacharose, galactose... etc) using different bases (NaOH, NH3 and even benzyltrimethylammoniumhydroxide) and an epoxide as crosslinker. Even in the control test without the epoxide crosslinker the brown color was formed. the more alkaline the solution the more rapid the color was formed.
it smelled somewhat like syrup/caramel.
To quenche the reaction we added acid, and also here the solution turned colorless overtime. If you store the unquenched solution in the fridge for about a week its colorless again.
Q-TOF results showed it was a polysacharide of the monosacharide added to the solution. mostly formed by bonds formed at the secundaire alcohol.
