Acid vs. Alkali

Sep 25, 2006 22:21

So today we learnt about cleavage in Chemistry. Apparently, salt crystals have cleavage. I think I'd better stay the heck away from table salt ( Read more... )

Naw, I don't wanna burn my house down ;)
Chemistry is like cooking, except in Chemistry you can't just throw in a pinch of salt - you have to measure it first! Such a pain.

I remember my first titration oh so many years ago. I still get nostalgic when I pass a bottle of phenolthaline. *sigh*

Hope you do better next time. Much love.

Phenolphthalein.
Yeah, hoping I'll "shake it" enough the next time.

I didn't know you'd go all Shakespeare when I mention titration :)

Is a chemistry practical the same thing as a lab ?

Re: practicals wicked_danu September 26 2006, 11:57:40 UTC

Yeah, a chemistry practical takes place in a chemistry laboratory.

Gah... well you know what happened to me! I broke the cover of the weighing bottle.. what a klutz I am! :$

I've got to come earrrllyyy in the morn to do my titration. Hopefully now that I've read bout the blunders that you made, I can mix the water+acid properly again and then do the experiment.

Here's wishing good luck to all Chem students that their results come out well! I neeeeeed good results, damn it!

Tc Danu, GLUCK for the exam tomorrow! *muah*
Ciao!

I wonder what could've caused you to black out.. I hope you're better and more clear-headed now.

Hey, titrations are not that tough as we've all found out.. you'll get through it in no time :)

Thanks for the luck .. I REALLY need it :)

cutedevil_ash September 27 2006, 15:00:36 UTC

Well I was feeling really ill yesterday.. I guess that must have caused the black-out. Damn smell of acid and alkalis added to it all!

Titration was fun!! I got good results with the third trial itself .. exactly 0.02 difference! yayyyyy!!!!
Poor Jen's reading were rllly screwed up though. Poor child has to do them again tomorrow morn.

Im sure you did well for the exam. :)

Ohh.. and your labcoat is still with me. Lemme know if u need it before the first period.

Tc... enjoy! ciaoo danu
