Suspicious Chemistry for Lazy People
Description
Book Introduction
★ Highly recommended by chemistry professors from Seoul National University, Ewha Womans University, and KAIST!
★ Naver Premium Content Subscription #1 "Chemistry for Everyone"
“How is it? Chemistry is easy, right?”
Discover the joy of chemistry while clearing survival routines!
A Breezy Introduction to Chemistry that Makes Difficult Chemical Principles Instantly Understandable
Acids and bases, oxidation and reduction, neutralization reactions... These are all important chemical principles that you've probably learned at least once in a textbook (some readers might get a headache just reading them).
They say the world we live in is made up of chemistry, but even when we study by underlining, we often get frustrated when faced with complex chemical symbols and molecular formulas.
For those who are ignorant of science and misunderstand that memorizing the periodic table is all there is to chemistry, Professor Lee Kwang-ryeol has stepped forward to provide an experience of discovering the joy of chemistry in everyday life.
The author, who received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from KAIST and a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Illinois, is currently a professor of chemistry at Korea University and runs the popular science channel "Chemistry for Everyone" and is known as the "King of the Lazy." He focused on everyday household chores that everyone has to do but are the main culprits of time thieves, and which are closely related to chemistry.
The author humorously explains the chemical tricks he developed because he hated cleaning so much, as well as the principles behind them.
Part 1 teaches you how to use chemistry right away, so you can read it in one sitting. Part 2 provides an easy-to-understand explanation of essential chemical principles, such as acids and bases, helping you transform from a busy person into a cultured and relaxed chemist.
The final part 3 provides a list of things you should never do at home, for those of you who are constantly experimenting with dangerous chemicals (like mixing bleach with vinegar).
This book will allow me to indulge in the experience of being lazy and doing more valuable things (like drinking tea, listening to music, or spending time with loved ones) while chemistry does the work for me.
It's a paradoxical situation where a lazy person studies chemistry to become even lazier, but if you can make both knowledge and time your own, the study will be worthwhile.
If you want to know what happens when a chemist throws himself into cleaning, if you're curious about the power of chemistry to connect both life and study, if you're looking for a chemistry textbook you can read without feeling overwhelmed, open this book!

Into the book
Soda ash is good at killing bacteria, but vinegar, citric acid, and alcohol are also effective at killing bacteria.
Highly acidic solutions denature the proteins inside bacteria, making them unviable.
Alcohol also kills germs in the same way.
Skip vinegar or pure alcohol, as they have a strong smell and are difficult to use. Instead, try soaking a dishcloth in 3-4 tablespoons of citric acid in about 1 cup of water.
You can make a clean dishcloth free of germs.
---「Part 1 Chapter 1 4.
"We need to get rid of the germs in our bathroom sinks, right?"
There is something called an anti-infection sheet.
This is a piece of cloth that, when washed with colored clothes, prevents the dye from leaking out and staining other clothes.
The principle is extremely simple.
Water with detergent is alkaline.
In this water, the dye on our clothes can fall off in a negative ion state and stick to other clothes.
Anions love cations.
When dye from a garment swims around in the washing machine, you can't help but be drawn to the attractive cations. The surface of a piece of anti-dye sheet fabric is filled with cations.
This is why anionic dyes stick to the surface of the anti-dye sheet.
---「Part 1 Chapter 2 3.
“If I have a color transfer prevention sheet, I don’t have to worry about washing colored clothes.”
It is best for our skin to be slightly acidic so that lactic acid bacteria can thrive.
But the soap we use is alkaline.
If you only use soap, your skin's slightly acidic balance will be disrupted, potentially damaging its health. For this reason, the ingredients in a pore cleanser should be designed to remove oil without altering the skin's acidity as much as possible.
It should also be able to penetrate pores and remove oil.
This is impossible with soap that is too hard.
This is why we mix different types of surfactants to make pore cleaners.
---「Part 1 Chapter 3 4.
What is the secret of a best-selling pore cleaner?
Atoms like oxygen and fluorine are very electron-loving.
And it's strong too.
Atoms like sodium, calcium, and aluminum have a weak ability to hold onto electrons.
A calcium atom grabs an electron and goes along its path, meeting an oxygen atom.
What happens? Won't the greedy oxygen atom steal an electron from the calcium atom? The calcium atom losing its electron is called oxidation, and the oxygen atom losing its electron is called reduction.
It's simple.
When electrons are lost, oxidation occurs; when electrons are gained, reduction occurs.

Let's go to our bathroom.
Are there many commercially available cleaning sprays other than gel (or foam) bleach and window cleaner sprays? Probably not.
If I had a spray can, I would have made it myself.
And if you look at the instructions for commercially available spray products, they will probably tell you to be careful not to inhale them when using them and to ensure good ventilation.
If it were good for you, would it say something like that? Do you sell the original Lux in spray form? No.
Do you spray the sodium percarbonate solution? No.
So, do you sell citric acid solution? No, except lemon juice.
Where's the liquid hydrogen peroxide? It'll be sealed tightly and have lots of warnings about what not to do.

Publisher's Review
“Use chemistry and be lazy!”
Knowledge is accumulating smoothly and time is created that was not there before.
A quirky and suspicious chemistry class
Are you so caught up in your daily routine that you don't even have time to slack off? The annoying dishes, the messy bathroom cleaning, the laundry piling up.
These are things that are essential to life and that everyone should do, but for busy people on Earth, they are likely to be time thieves.
But if you want to live a clean life, it's something you can't put off forever.
If you finish cleaning up as you have been doing, using all your strength and time, you will be completely exhausted.
It's a pity.
If I had studied chemistry, I could have done things faster and smarter and saved myself more time!
Professor Lee Kwang-ryeol of the Department of Chemistry at Korea University, who has been crowned the "King of the Lazy" aka "King of Crabs" for introducing easy-to-learn and smart ways to apply chemistry in real life on the Naver Premium Content Channel "Chemistry for Everyone," has opened a special class for readers who don't have time to be lazy, where they can become smarter just by listening and even save time.
This book focuses on household chores closely related to chemistry, and includes the chemical tricks and principles that the author developed because she hated cleaning so much.
Let's see what happens when a chemist with over 35 years of solid research experience decides to take on the challenge of cleaning.
“How is it? Chemistry is easy, right?”
Naver Premium Content Subscription #1 "Chemistry for Everyone"
The "Laziness" series, which has captivated readers, is now available for pre-order.
The 'lazy people' discussed in this book are not simply people who do not want to move or work.
A person who uses his brain to increase the time he has to do valuable things in his limited life.
Their goal is to minimize the time they spend on routine activities that take away time from truly important tasks or enjoyment, such as doing their hair, doing the dishes, removing stains from their clothes, or cleaning the bathroom after a shower.
That time-saving method is chemistry.
The author says that if you don't pay attention, the household chores that don't even show up on the list can be easily and quickly handled with chemistry, and the remaining time can be used for yourself. He has revealed the know-how of a chemistry expert in this book.
The "Chemistry for Everyone" channel is particularly popular for its "Lazy People's Chemistry" series, which is why I've compiled the main articles, and added plenty of new chemistry tips and advice specifically for this book.
"Knowing chemistry makes the world a better place."
Professor Lee Gwang-ryeol, the king of lazy people, tells us
Life-Centered Chemistry Solutions and Essential Science Knowledge
First, Part 1 of the text asks five major questions.
Questions include reducing the number of chemical cleanings, getting tidy (cleaning), keeping things clean (beauty), eating and living healthily (food), and being free from pests (insects).
We answer this with over 60 chemical solutions that will help you achieve a clean daily life with minimal time and effort.
This book is full of proven solutions based on the author's fascinating experiences, including how to dispose of greasy delivery dishes, how to kill germs on a dishwashing sponge, how to care for a toothbrush even the lazy can do, how to avoid trans fats, and how to kill a mosquito by stinging it.
Part 2 provides more detailed explanations of the important chemical principles (acids, bases, oxidation-reduction reactions, neutralization reactions, etc.) contained in the previously presented applications, helping you transform from a busy person into a cultured and relaxed chemist.
In the final part, we'll summarize a list of things you should never do if you find yourself constantly experimenting with dangerous chemicals at home (like mixing bleach with citric acid, or hydrogen peroxide with vinegar).
It is highly recommended for middle and high school students, current teachers, and liberal arts people who have given up on science after becoming adults, as they can easily learn chemistry using keywords from everyday life such as home, body, and food.
It's a paradoxical situation where you have to invest in studying to avoid laziness, but the author recommends it.
If I could enjoy life doing more valuable things while chemistry does the work for me, wouldn't it be a worthwhile investment? I hope this book will inspire readers to experience the joy of discovering chemistry in their daily lives and become lazy chemists, enjoying a life of physical laziness but a more diligent mind than anyone else.
