[maakjar]

This guy is great!!!

[frdyn8tr]

Thumbs up if Walden Schmidt did make you watch that

[tintinisfat]

All hail Grubb's catalyst

[Spicyperson9123]

I have a rodium coin

[CharlesStudios]

I wish you were my science teacher

[Mister86Productions]

My science teacher knows his stuff, but he's a terrible teacher. I wish you were mine.

@kristijanadrian i'm no chemist but it is used as a plating in jewelery...QVC has had some junk plated with Rh, prolly a few microns thick.

[lorax2013]

Half a million pounds of Rh, must mean the value not the weight because that would be 10 times the world annual production. 

[yuppyguitar]

@lorax2013 Ah now it makes perfect sense. He says "Half a million pounds worth of". Otherwise, by weight it would be $17 billion worth of metal.

[quantumbrewer]

@yuppyguitar when he says pounds, he means British currency.

[yuppyguitar1]

@quantumbrewer Yes, hence my saying "makes perfect sense."

[rathat48]

Unless the chemical reaction was going to save the world, I would not use Rhodium in a reaction, I would sell it.

Did pirates use rhodium in jewelery making?

[skuul666]

The process that the professor mentions is called the Monsanto process, but it has been largely supplanted by the Cativa process, which uses a -cheaper- iridium catalyst. The catalyctic cycle of both processes are identical though.

On the Rhodium... Just can't wait to get on the Rhodium... The life I love is making music with my friends, and I can't wait to get on the Rhodium.

[ersilcoff]

i dont think ive ever heard a chemist say ethanoic acid before with a straight face

[culwin]

Damn, I sold all my Rhodium on Ebay, I think I got ripped off :(

[TheFragrance1992]

$6200 per troy ounce as of September 2007! talk about rare and super expensive!

i wish I had this guy as my chemistry teacher love his hairstyle :)

[DrCrackBadger]

Yea the man has style.

[jencroatt]

Although expensive, jewelry that is "white gold" is often coated with a thin layer of rhodium.

[OoAwwRange]

very rare.

[CrackBadger52]

Never knew rhodium was that rare

[boaterboyhustler]

awesome vids wish i had of found them before i did my science gcse exam

[skudrach]

these videos are very educating.
