Chemistry in Currency response: I chose the article on coins. In this article it explained that pennies made after 1982 are made with a zinc core with a thin copper coating. This relates to chemistry because it explained that if someone ate a penny made after 1982 they could run into some problems. This is because the zinc core in the newer pennies reacted with the acid in the stomach and cause pain.

Nicholas, Interesting thought. 5 stars. It probably wouldn't hurt you to eat a penny but you right about the reaction. Your post is a little short. MW

Crude oil response: I was surprised to find out that crude oil created multiple products when distilled. The thing that surprised me the most was that you could get asphalt and gasoline from the same place. I also found the way they distilled it very interesting. They called it “Fractional Distillation.” During this, they heated the crude oil until parts of it evaporated. When they cooled the evaporated gasses in different chambers to get different products. And that was one of the most interesting parts of the video.

Nicholas, Well done. Fractional distillation is more involved than simple distillation. MW

Mole Day response: Today I was learned that the Mole Day was only created to "foster interest in chemistry." (this response is still in progress)

Nick, OK. 1 star so far. MW

How about a little writing here!?? MW
