The acetone washing of permanent ink on the electroplated message - the final part of the process - more to discuss on those last days of class - polarity and why a water wash will not work! Thanks again @GordonsScience @WRBdB

[Chem 13 News @chem13news]

Plans for last days of chem class? How about a lab-made keepsake? An electroplated message! From our wonderful friends across the pond. (Cu cathode with @Sharpie, Zn anode in Zinc sulfate, after plating, place in acetone to remove permanent ink) Thanks @WRBdB @GordonsScience

Wait for the colour change. pH clock reaction. All beakers contain the same reactants but each with a different indicator. Bromothymol blue, cresol red and thymol blue. Each beaker changes colour after a 10 second delay. #realtimechem #chemed #time4chem #scied #asechat #Science

Fans of body wash are ditching the plastic it comes in for solid versions like this. What's their chemistry and environmental impact? https://t.co/Rjm1GQnLUF by @carmendrahl

Just 2 years ago, #chemist David Liu debuted a new version of #CRISPR, called base editing, that swaps one letter of DNA for another. Today his new startup Beam Therapeutics is launching with up to $87 million to treat genetic diseases with base editors. https://t.co/WFVWekovSa

Dorothy Hodgkin was born #onthisday in 1910. A pioneer in X-ray crystallography, Dorothy is so far the only British woman to have received the Nobel Prize in chemistry. She discovered the structures of penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin, amongst others https://t.co/PoUgYOvqRY

@GordonsScience @WRBdB I haven't seen this reaction before. Would you mind me asking what was being used?

French chemist Victor Grignard was born #onthisday in 1871. He developed the use of organomagnesium halides, now known as Grignard reagents, as a new method to make carbon-carbon bonds. This important reaction is widely used in synthetic organic chemistry.
