I recently had to search high and low for my chemistry book before a big exam—it was buried under a pile of laundry that seemed to have grown a personality of its own. I finally unearthed it, only to find that my study notes had somehow transformed into a doodle gallery featuring my dog in a lab coat, and a very detailed sketch of a cat reacting poorly to being mixed with soda. In my defense, the cat had it coming; it stole a chip from my lunch!
Honestly, I was supposed to be preparing for a test about the periodic table, but instead, I found myself trying to understand the complicated chemistry of snacktime fights and the bond my dog has with mischief. Turns out my notes made more sense with a touch of whimsy than they ever would have with actual chemical equations! Who needs hydrogen and oxygen when you have a pet with a flair for the dramatic?
N
Finally, a chemistry book that actually explains concentration in a way I’ll never forget.
E
I think navy has something like that with toad arrays.
T
Had to look this one up. I would not have thought of ‘Towed array’ (sonar) as the actual term(s).
T
Finally.. a chemistry joke that actually counts🐹
C
That is not OPs chemistry book, this is a karma farming liar or a bot. I have this exact picture saved to my phone from quite a while ago. It’s literally identical
K
Look at the bottom. Molasses
O
So that’s where that sticky brown substance comes from 😱
T
I kept telling you THERE WAS NO CHOCOLATE IN THAT GLASS BEFORE!
R
I thought you meant the other glass…
T
Fun fact: star-nosed moles look identical from end to end.
P
perfect
A
🤌
E
“A mole of moles”
H
Please no.
S
that’s too much moles
N
mole invasion
S
More like, mole catastrophe, if we had a mole of moles they would fill up ~half of the earth’s atmosphere
P
Moles already fill up less than half of the Earth’s atmosphere.
S
You know what I meant
Z
Xkce had some thing about that
I
[https://what-if.xkcd.com/4/](https://what-if.xkcd.com/4/) That’s the original blog-post if you prefer it in text form but it has also been adapted to a youtube video. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLlwvmu1ZeA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLlwvmu1ZeA)
E
Wouldn’t that actually require 6.02×10^24 moles, though? Which is *so* many moles.
J
Mole meatball planet
A
Divide that number by 10
T
Never
T
Can you make a mole with a mole of moles?
E
My mom (a high school chemistry teacher) has this on a sweatshirt
P
This is the kinda visual memory trick that gets cemented in your mind forever, I may not remember my grandkids names but I’ll damn well remember 2 mol/L
M
*2M
P
Now does it explain how to rid 12 grams of carbon from each mole on my property?
B
That’s fantastic
W
Peak 1942 humor
W
Holy shit I remember this meme from high school!
N
But a 2-molar solution would show teeth
O
Moles are supposed to have 12 molars and they’ve only got 2 between them both? Oof, rough life.
V
They should’ve drawn 22.4 moles
T
You’re thinking of 22.4 liters of volume for every mole of gas at ATP. So it would be one mole with 22.4 litters of baby moles, if we want to allow typos.
B
Not your chemistry book. Not even the first one in this sub, this link from 2014. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2212hv/well_played_chemistry_textbook/
T
I was just thinking to myself “I swear I remember that exact joke from my chemistry textbook… no way they’re still using that 15 years later?”
M
I would say it’s less. They are sticking out of the beaker, so technically less than 2 moles per liter.
M
My chemistry textbook’s authors had a sense of humor too, it must be a thing among chemists. I remember a fly just randomly drawn on a page, and their suggestion for dealing with an emulsion included “applying the appropriate vituperations.”
O
I mean yeah, it makes perfect sense. You wouldn’t put three moles, that’s just greedy.
T
I don’t know what they are trying to teach you, but skip more.
D
Better than a picture of a two molar solution 🦷🦷
R
CGP Revision Textbook by any chance? They always had good humour like that.
H
Its NCERT for 11th standard students
R
Ahh from elsewhere, good to see the humour shared. Another popular one was 5 teeth in a beaker of liquid saying ‘5 Molar Acid’.
O
I thought it’d be from that too. Man those books slammed it
R
Were my saving grace from Year 6 KS2 SATs all the way to A-Levels. I still remember some of their jokes and quips now.
C
My friends and I had a running gag in high school. Every time the teacher asked what page something was on, we referred to that page. Then the teacher and students would turn to it, and we would all start ironically laughing (except for the teacher, who never seemed to catch on or remember). Good times. Never thought I’d see those moles again.
