Reactions | Why Does Salt Change the Taste of Everything? @ACSReactions | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
If your coffee is too bitter, add a pinch of salt. If your salad isn’t sour enough, add a pinch of salt. If your beer is too bitter, add a pinch of salt. Salt has a seemingly magical ability to enhance good flavors and dampen bad ones. Come along on George’s epic journey into the wilds of salt science.

$You Dont Understand Water (and Neither Does Anyone Else) Water is weird… really weird. We’re gonna dive into the controversial chemistry and heated debates around the science of what gives water it’s super unusual properties, and maybe bust a popular water myth along the way. #H2O #hydrogenbonding #dinosaurpee You might also like: Extracting Gold from Seawater https://youtu.be/j5eomDz4Z0E Why is There Plastic in Our Rain? https://youtu.be/HUAaurZKi6U How Much Water Can Kill You? https://youtu.be/TvcbIXvWl_k Can We Make Ocean Water Drinkable - and Should We? https://youtu.be/q16qpo99JEE Credits: Executive Producers: Hilary Hudson Producers: Elaine Seward Andrew Sobey Darren Weaver Writer/Host: Alex Dainis, PhD Scientific consultants: Michelle Boucher, PhD Xijie Wang, PhD Emiliano Brini, PhD Brianne Raccor, PhD Sources: How Water’s Properties Are Encoded in Its Molecular Structure and Energies: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.chemrev.7b00259 Why is the maximum density of water at 4°C? https://socratic.org/questions/why-is-the-maximum-density-of-water-at-4-c A Two-State Picture of Water and the Funnel of Life: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.02757.pdf What is life?-lecture: Lars G M Pettersson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ijHgccuhLE Dipole-Dipole Force: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/introchem/chapter/dipole-dipole-force/#:~:text=The%20permanent%20dipole%20in%20water,slight%20negative%20charge%20(%CE%B4%2D).
