Hello!

I am a woman who was born in -92 (33 years old), and I am continuing my education to become a chemist, from a pharmaceutical technician. The blog is about my journey towards the goal, and within that subject there will always be a lot to write about, funnily enough! Btw, if anyone here is really good at photoshop or equivalent, and would like to "improve" my website for a fee, please write in the comment field and I'll get back to you. I can imagine paying a few hundred, or up to 1000 SEK, depending on the quality.

Elephant toothpaste

2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2 (g)

A lot of foam is formed when hydrogen peroxide is decomposed thanks to the catalyst potassium iodide, KI. Iodine in this alternates between two forms, I^- and I2, and is not consumed, it accelerates the process. It is the released oxygen, the bubbles, that are trapped in the soapy water that gives the strong visual effect.

The reaction between the alkali metal Cesium and water

2Cs (s) + 2H2O --> 2CsOH + H2 (g)

This is where cesium hydroxide is formed, one of the strongest bases that exists. Cs is very expensive, but CsOH can be used to make many different groups of salts. Cesium is very reactive with water, which is because Cs have many electron shells and release its valence electron easily (weak attraction from the nucleus).

Elephant toothpaste, swedish

2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2 (g)

Det bildas mycket skum när väteperoxid sönderdelas tack vare katalysatorn kaliumjodid, KI. Jod i denna växlar mellan två former, I^- och I2, och förbrukas inte, den påskyndar förloppet. Det är den frigjora syrgasen, bubblorna, som är fast i det tvålaktiga vattnet som ger den starka visuella effekten.

Reaktionen mellan alkalimetallen Cesium och vatten

2Cs (s) + 2H2O --> 2CsOH + H2 (g)

Här bildas cesiumhydroxid, en av dem starkaste baserna som finns. Cs är väldigt dyrt, men CsOH kan användas för att tillverka många olika grupper av salter. Cesium är väldigt reaktivt med vatten, vilket beror på att Cs har många elektronskal och släpper ifrån sig sin valenslektron enkelt (svag attraktion från kärnan).

2 boom boom to the right:

Coca-Cola and Mentos

Physical process when carbon dioxide is released.

Carbon dioxide is dissolved in water, and bubbles form on the uneven surface of the mentos. Places where CO2 accumulates and merges into larger bubbles are called nucleation points. The accumulation causes the liquid itself to be pushed away. Gelatin and gum arabic also reduce the surface tension (strong bonds in water are disturbed).

The reaction between the alkali metal Francium and water

2Fr (s) + 2H2O --> 2FrOH + H2 (g)

There is another alkali metal that reacts in almost the same way as Cs in water, but the reaction is even faster and more powerful. Francium, Fr, has the lowest ionization energy, and therefore easily forms Fr^+ ions, and these join with the hydroxide ion, OH^-. This frighteningly, released energy ignites the hydrogen.

Coca-Cola och Mentos

Fysisk process när koldioxid frigörs.

Koldioxid är löst i vatten, och det sker bubbelbildning på mentos ojämna yta. Ställen där CO2 samlas och slår ihop sig till större bubblor kallas nukleationspunkter. Ansamlingen får själva vätskan att skjutas iväg. Gelatin och gummi arabicum gör även så att ytspänningen minskar (starka bindningar i vatten störs).

Reaktionen mellan alkalimetallen Francium och vatten

2Fr (s) + 2H2O --> 2FrOH + H2 (g)

Det finns en annan alkalimetall som reagerar på nästan samma sätt som Cs i vatten, men reaktionen blir ännu snabbare och kraftigare. Francium, Fr, har den lägsta jonisationsenergin, och bildar därför enkelt Fr^+ joner, och dessa förenar sig med hydroxidjonen, OH^-. Denna skrämmande, frigjorda energin antänder vätgasen.

2 boom boom in the front:

Oxyhydrogen reaction

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O + energy (heat and light)

A reaction that a few hundred years ago was used in blowpipes to process the metal Platinum, because it was only then that a flame was obtained that became hot enough (Pt melting point: 1768.3 C). In the reaction, old bonds are broken and stronger bonds are obtained, water is obtained.

Combustion of acetylene

2C2H2 (g) + 5O2 (g) --> 4CO2 (g) + 2H2O + heat

Acetylene is widely used in chemical production, for plastics, for solvents, etc. It is very explosive, the flame gets extremely hot and is good for cutting metal. Used in welding and demonstration in chemistry. Preserved in pressurized bottles and burns in contact with air, although a little heat must activate it first.

Knallgas reaktion

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O + energi (värme och ljus)

En reaktion som för några hundra år sedan användes i blåsrör för att bearbeta metallen Platina, för att det var bara då som man fick en låga som blev tillräckligt varm (Pt smältpunkt: 1768,3 C). I reaktionen bryts gamla bindningar och starkare bindningar fås, man får vatten.

Förbränning av acetylen

2C2H2 (g) + 5O2 (g) --> 4CO2 (g) + 2H2O + värme

Acetylen används mycket inom kemisk produktion, för plaster, för lösningsmedel, o.s.v.. Den är mycket explosiv, lågan blir extremt varm, och är bra att skära metall med. Används inom svetsning och uppvisning inom kemi. Bevaras i trycksatta flaskor och brinner i kontakt med luft, även om lite värme måste aktivera den först.

Right now I'm a bit tired of school, so I'm taking a break and applying for a job to become a pharmaceutical technician. It's 100% certain that I'll return to chemistry later, I'm just taking a break. In addition to this hobby, I also have a rat hobby (and others). I'm trying to build a big rat cage, and obstacle courses, to activate, learn and make fun for the rats. There will be lots of cuddles soon too, when new rat babies arrive. Rats are incredibly good climbers, and I love it when a soft, warm rat with smooth fur climbs up on me however it wants. They are also easy to learn and intelligent. I highly recommend!

Just nu för tillfället är jag lite skoltrött, så jag tar en paus och söker jobb till läkemedelstekniker. Det är 100% säkert att jag kommer att återvända till kemi senare, jag tar bara en rast. Utöver detta hobby så har jag även ett t.ex. rått-hobby. Jag försöker bygga en stor råttbur, och hinderbanor, för att aktivera, lära och göra det kul för råttorna. Det kommer bli massa gos snart också, när nya råttungar anländer. Råttor är otroligt bra klättrare, och jag älskar när en mjuk, varm råtta med len päls klättrar upp på mig hur den vill. De är också lättlärda och intelligenta. Jag rekommenderar starkt!

"I will build my own rat cage of cheaper, but nice, materials. The wooden legs are currently too short, I think they are 60 cm. I will use flat metal rod to extend them. :

1m, 29.95 kr

Thanks to this, the legs will be 1 m instead. Then the volume will be 1m x 1.10m x 0.65m = 0.7m^3


The hardest part of this will be to screw up a door on the long side closest to us. But it's not expensive, not impossible, and I don't want to get this done immediately. I think the breeder has the next litter of rats ready for delivery in 3 months. Then they are small, but can still survive on their own in a new home.


So I want to get this done within 3 months. :) "

Some good music:

Banankaka / Bananbröd:
Smöra gärna med ett hemmagjort smör som är 50% kakao och 50% kikärtsmjöl.

3 skopor, 125 ml eller 1/2 kopp - första: havreflingor, andra: havreflingor, tredje: 33% havreflingor, 33% glutenfritt mjöl, 33% kikärtsmjöl.

200 g tofu eller 4 ägg

4 mogna, riktigt prickiga bananer

2 tsk bakpulver,
2 tsk vanillinsocker,
2 tsk kanel,
2 msk kokosolja.

Mixa noga.

My banana cakes were acceptable and good, when the tofu variant was in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, and the egg version for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Only 175 C.

Mina banankakor blev acceptabla och bra, när tofuvarianten var i ugn 1h och 30 min, och äggvarianten 1 h och 20 min. Endast 175 C.

Do oats cause inflammation like wheat flour?

No, oats do not give inflammation in the same way as wheat flour. Wheat flour, especially refined white wheat flour, can contribute to inflammation in the body because it has a high glycemic index, which can lead to blood sugar fluctuations and increased production of inflammatory substances. Additionally, wheat contains gluten, which some people are sensitive to, which can cause inflammation in the gut.

Oats, especially pure oats, are naturally gluten-free (unless contaminated with wheat) and contain soluble fiber, such as beta-glucans, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Beta-glucans may help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and support good gut health, which can reduce inflammation in the body.

ChatGPT: How exercise affects the brain
✅ Increases blood flow – Provides the brain with more oxygen and nutrients, which improves concentration and memory.
✅ Releases neurotransmitters – Exercise increases levels of dopamine, serotonin and endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress/anxiety.
✅ Stimulates brain plasticity – Exercise helps form new nerve cells and connections, especially in the hippocampus (important for memory and learning).
✅ Reduces the risk of brain diseases – Regular exercise can slow age-related brain decline and reduce the risk of dementia.

How exercise affects the body
✅ Strengthens muscles and joints
✅ Improves fitness and endurance
✅ Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
✅ Strengthens the immune system

This is a pharmaceutical technician for those who are wondering. This is how I'm going to work for a few months, and recover. You weigh and mix ingredients, work in cleanrooms, document, etc. 4 main steps are, 1. Filling, to add powder. 2. Compaction, a machine compresses the powder. 3. Ejection. Ready-made tablets are available. 4. Packaging. There are strict laws about a sterile environment. Therefore the person in the picture is wearing cleanroom clothes. I understand those who have this as a dream job as it is rewarding and interesting. It depends on what you are looking to do.

Det här är en läkemedelstekniker för den som undrar. Såhär ska jag jobba i några månader, och återhämta mig. Man väger och blandar ingredienser, arbetar i renrum, dokumenterar, o.s.v.. 4 huvudsteg är, 1. Fyllning, att tillsätta pulver. 2. Kompaktering, en maskin komprimerar pulvret. 3. Utkastning. Färdiga tabletter fås. 4. Paketering. Det är strikta lagar om en steril miljö, därför har personen på bilden renrumskläder på sig. Jag förstår dem som har detta som ett drömjobb då det är givande och intressant. Det beror på vad man söker efter att göra.

This is a love doll from spartanlover.com. I might have enough money soon to buy a dream-lover, who looks like a very young boy in body (Lee's body), and with an Asian attractive face (Pheonix's head). I would have loved to have this baby-boy at night. I'm going to design him so that the intimate part is 12 cm, so 4.7 inches. I want him to be natural and perfect. Hope the money will be enough for that soon. My strong desires must go somewhere, and the real boy at the leisure activity didn't really want to help (I've tried!). But the doll looks like him, so it's fun anyway.

Det här är en kärleks-docka från spartanlover.com. Jag kanske har tillräckligt med pengar snart för att köpa en dröm-älskare, som ser ut som en mycket ung pojke i kroppen (Lee’s kropp), och med ett asiatiskt tilldragande ansikte (Pheonix’s huvud). Jag hade älskat att ha denna baby-boy på nätterna. Jag ska designa honom så att den intima delen är 12 cm, alltså 4.7 inches. Jag vill att han ska vara naturlig och perfekt. Hoppas att pengarna räcker till det snart. Mina starka lustar måste ta vägen någonstans, och den riktiga pojken på fritidsaktiviteten ville inte riktigt ställa upp (jag har försökt!). Men dockan ser ut som honom, så det är iallafall roligt.

How I wish more people knew about valerian's healing effects. Every person should have this at home, and you should take it several times a week when you feel sad. It's very normal. Necessary. This is the chemistry behind valerian herbal remedies:

Vad jag önskar att fler kända till valerianas läkande effekter. Denna borde varje person ha hemma, och man bör inta flera gånger i veckan när man känner sig ledsen. Det är mycket normalt. Nödvändigt. Det här är kemin bakom valeriana naturläkemedel:

Benjamin Ingrosso in love with mother Pernilla's friend: "I've always liked older women"

After the family of the king and queen, Benjamin Ingrosso's family comes as probably the most famous in Sweden. His mother, Pernilla Wahlgren, has participated in Melodifestivalen 4 times (but not Eurovision), and Benjamin himself has participated 1 time in Eurovision with the song "Dance you off" (2018) and came on 7th place. I liked his peaceful statement above so much. He seems very nice :) And I'm also going to share new good songs for your Powerwalk outdoors! Keep it up!

Efter kungens och drottningens familj, så kommer Benjamin Ingrossos familj som antagligen den kändaste i Sverige. Hans mor, Pernilla Wahlgren, har deltagit i Melodifestivalen 4 gånger (men inte Eurovision), och Benjamin själv har deltagit 1 gång i Eurovision med låten ”Dance you off” (2018) och kom på 7:e plats. Jag gillade hans fredliga uttalande ovan så mycket. Han verkar väldigt trevlig :) Och så ska jag även dela nya bra låtar till eran Powerwalk utomhus! Keep it up!
