Copper and silver nitrate

Mixing silver nitrate and copper is one of the most famous chemistry experiments, with it starring in many a school science lesson around the globe. The experiment involves introducing copper – typically a copper wire – to a silver nitrate/water solution and suspending it there for a couple of hours.

The combining of both triggers a single replacement reaction, where copper is changed from its elemental form (Cu) to its blue
aqueous ion form (Cu2+ [aq]), while the silver ions (Ag+ [aq]) in the silver nitrate solution will be changed into their elemental metallic form (Ag) and deposited onto the wire. These silver deposits continue to grow off the copper in a series of fractal-like
crystals until all reactable copper in the solution is exhausted, leaving the end products of silver and copper nitrate.

The reason this replacement reaction occurs is that the atoms in
the copper are oxidised when introduced to the silver nitrate solution, losing electrons and forming copper ions, while the silver
ions in the nitrate solution are reduced (ie they gain electrons) into
elemental silver.

What’s really cool is that once the silver crystals have grown they can be removed from the copper, dried off and then displayed as funky pieces of fractal art.

Trout are antibiotic
The mucus, or slime, found on the scales of certain fish like the trout has antibacterial properties that could potentially be harnessed as an alternative to antibiotics. Trout use their mucus to protect themselves from bacteria in rivers and scientists have
discovered they can slow down – and even prevent – the growth of some of our own infectious bacteria.

Do you know "How has chemistry helped our health"?.......Read On

If you break your leg, it should be able to heal just fine without any
chemical assistance other than a good diet. But you might feel better if you also take some acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
Other health problems can benefit more from a chemist’s help.
If you have a bacterial infection, some antibiotic chemicals that
stop bacteria from growing, or kill the bacteria, might be a lot of
help. Knowledge of nutrition, which is the chemistry of what we eat, can also save lives and help people live longer. If you don’t get a balanced diet or enough sun, then you might benefit from a chemist’s knowledge of vitamins and minerals. Soap, toothpaste, acne medications, sunscreens, iodine, and chlorinated water all help keep you clean and free of infections.

But where chemistry really helps is when you have a serious
health problem. Chemicals such as the insulin needed to treat diabetes or the antivirals used to treat HIV are lifesavers. Drugs to
treat cancer, heart disease, and stroke can prolong lives by years.
On the other side of the coin, knowing which chemicals are
dangerous can also save lives. The chemistry of poisonous substances (toxicology) helps keep us safe, but it also helps control
pests that can affect our health, such as mosquitoes, rats and mice, cockroaches, and flies. Pesticides also increase crop yields, allowing more people to get the nutrition they need.

Do you know "Turtles can use artificial limbs too". Just read on

Yu, a 25-year-old loggerhead sea turtle, has been fitted with her 27th pair of artificial flippers by an aquarium in Japan. The turtle lost her front fins in a shark attack and was pulled out of the sea in a fisherman’s net before being sent to the Suma Aqualife Park in 2008. The rubber limbs are held in place by a special vest
and have undergone many revisions.

Yes...Science makes our lives better.

Curious Facts: What happens if you breathe in smoke or carbon
dioxide?

Smoke is made up of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water
v***r, soot, and smaller amounts of many other molecules and bits of ash. Soot and ash are filtered by your nose and pushed out of your throat when you cough. Carbon monoxide is toxic because it binds to blood cells instead of oxygen and doesn’t let go, so your
cells can’t get any oxygen to breathe.

Carbon dioxide is something we breathe all the time, since it is
a part of the air we breathe out of our lungs. Our bodies sense how
much carbon dioxide is in our blood, and when the levels rise, we
feel the need to take a breath.
If you breathe in too much carbon dioxide, your blood becomes
acidic, since carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic
acid. After breathing too much carbon dioxide, your body adjusts
by making you breathe faster, so you exhale more carbon dioxide.
It is the buildup of too much carbon dioxide that makes you feel
the intense need to breathe when you are holding your breath or
swimming underwater
