Channel Title: The Canadian Chemist Channel Description: Enjoy the fun of chemistry on this channel! I demonstrate how to isolate elements on the periodic table, how to create other interesting compounds, and also just have fun! I attempt to do as many of these reactions as possible from household and domestically available materials. I recently finished synthesizing the pH indicator Phenolphthalein from household materials, and have begun to attempt the synthesis of Ferroin, which is used as an indicator in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. If you have any serious chemistry related questions, you can email me at the email provided below. Thanks and have fun doing chemistry! <video> How to Make Nickel II Oxide Description: In this video I demonstrate how to prepare nickel II oxide from some nickel metal. I am planning on using the nickel II oxide in the future to try to test some other methods of producing sulfur trioxide at home.

I filmed this for a scholarship application where one of the requirements was to take a blank sheet of paper and do something creative and mining related with it. Although I love chemistry, I am also a geologist. Lot of the public are unaware of what geologists do, or the critical role that geology plays in society. Hopefully this is a fun, quick glimpse into the epic world of Earth Science! Let me know what you think of this sort of content.
