Oddly enough, many lead compounds have a sweet taste. One of the most famous ones is probably lead acetate. It is highly water soluble and it looks and tastes like sugar.

I'll be making it in two ways:

1) Lead oxide + acetic acid

2) Lead metal + acetic acid + hydrogen peroxide

NileRed Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Email: admin@nilered.ca
