We used to open up the gas tubes, and put the lighter in front of it. You get a flame over 50 cm long just shooting in one direction. AND THEN we used to 'experiment' flame tests ;) Haha. :D

O M G

wow

why did i not think of that?!



only one more chemistry double for "experiments"


i shall miss it..

do you reckon you could still do such things in uni labs?



:p anymore fabulous ideas?

lol. 1) Make sure no-one is standing in front of the gas taps. And make sure you get someone who isn't scared of the flame. Coz once the flame comes out, it's pretty big.

2) Other ideas. hmmm.. Well, always mix chemicals is a good idea. LOL. We used to come up with the best stuff. LoL. But be careful.Once, We set the beaker on FIRE. LOL. The lab assistant was just going WTF, standing like 100m's away, and my best friend walks up and blows it out. Hehe. :D

mmhmm .....

my chemistry class is so weird.... we come up with the most impractical solutions to the worlds problems.........

eg1) somebody reasoned that we should speed up global warming by placing heaters at the south pole

eg2) "Miss if Ozone is bad in the troposphere, why cant they use big fans to place it in the stratosphere"

eg3) Miss if you do electrolysis on sea water do you get fresh water?

Im gana miss these chemistry days........ every single period is so fun.......
good times :)

- When your halfway home from school and you realise that you still have safety glasses on your head

- When you spend your end of year chemistry party making sherbet, and then on a sugar high pour all the bicarbonate soda and citric acid into the sink, turn on the tap and watch if fizz like crazy

When you are eating an orange you realise its ester formula, and also that its sour is from the acidic properties...which are produced by the donation of a proton to form a hydronium ion.

you find yourself thinking just how much sodium and water would be needed to blow down a wall, and actually knowing the answer
