we need to do a 60 second video on a real world application of chemistry and show the whats happening molecularly during the chemical process or whatever is happening

I was thinking about doing the hydrocarbons of ski wax or dissolving a body like breaking bad.

+K for anyone that can help
 
GHB, all you need is an industrial cleaner (GBL), chemical drain cleaner, distilled water and some pH strips.

Put 135g of GBL and 63g drain cleaner in a stainless pan with half a cup of distilled water on a low heat for an hour with the lid on the pan. After that add the contents of the pan to a measuring cup, add water till it's 1l. Test the pH, if higher then 7.5 add some vinegar to bring it down.

Presto, you can now easily get into a girls pants. And after 12 hours it's untraceable.
 
Hydrocarbons of ski wax would be an idiotic presentation. Don't do that. "These are hydrocarbons. No chemical change takes place, we just smear them on the bottom of our skis."

Ton's of easy ones you can do, combustion of carbon compounds in fossil fuels in order to produce energy. Thats a fairly easy one to explain. Now if you have to give a demonstration, no idea.

Or you could do any number of biochemical reactions that are applicable in todays society. Do some research. There's some real dense shit sorting through academic articles, but there are also some fairly simple explanations to certain chemical processes.

 
Hydrocarbons in wax is probably your best bet. If this is a class thing the breaking bad meth thing is going to be so stale to your teacher. We can't go one chem class without breaking bad references, or "Bro do you even science!". The hydrocarbons have both a physical reaction, the changing of shape, and chemical reaction, the breaking of bonds, as you iron them out, so a lot of chem right there.
 
Also just basically explain the fatty acid heads and tails. The tails are hydrophobic, so they stay on the inside, and the heads are hydrophillic, so they stay on the outside of the molecule, where the water is. All of the tails make the wall of the molecule, if you will, which in turn makes the wax and all other lipids hydrophobic. Then everything this^ guy said
 
If you can locate a high enough concentration of HF as a high school student, then I'd like your connections please... Unless you can order this stuff off amazon or something?

Or are we just talking about this stuff, and not actually throwing stuff into acid?
 
Could you do the similarity of popular stimulant ADHD meds to meth? Have you ever looked at the structure of Meth compared to Adderall? It's astonishing.
