Supersaturated Solution Crystalization Posted by: yrunido
Video duration: 66 seconds Dr. Adam van Wynsberghe, UW Madison, pours a supersaturated Sodium Acetate solution onto a single crystal of the solid. This crystal, known as the seed, creates a template for the precipitation of the supersaturated solution. Related: chemistry, cool, demonstration, madison |

Thermite Reaction Posted by: yrunido
Video duration: 19 seconds Associate Lecturer Adam van Wynsberghe, UW Madison, demonstrates an exothermic reaction while teaching about Gibbs free energy. Although he admits it has little to do with Gibbs free energy, it is "really cool." My camera had a bit of trouble with the intense reaction.

Arc Ignition Posted by: yrunido
Video duration: 26 seconds Lecture Demonstrator James Maynard, UW Madison, uses an electrical arc created by a generator to ignite a white powder. The white powder is one of the most efficiently burning substances known, and I haven't included it's formula as it's been linked to terrorism. And I forgot to write it down.
