The ~~forbidden~~ dicouraged bong :3
Clears up your sinuses like forbidden wasabi
It has been 0 days since the last Incident.
"Now, to finish off those potato chips Amy threw out yesterday."
"Those were toenail clippings!"
"A feast's a feast."
"Now it's my turn to take the box maybe?"
"The box says no!"
It's not an incident if you don't report it
The same will happen with chlorobromohexane, which is what appears to be in the flask.
That aint it chief. Judging by context and looks that flask is being cleaned with something that i wouldn't use
Well, it's what is on the label.
But given the overall context, I wouldn't expect the label to reflect what is actually there either.
I'll send a dick pic to whoever manages to guess the contents of this flask correctly
Your new hotsauce recipe?
It's using (B)oron though, not (Br)omine.
The thing though, is that boron would normally be written before chlorine. So, I would guess what is written is just the reagents and not the final product. Maybe boron trichloride? I haven't taken a chem class in 15 years, so I may be a bit out of touch though.
Also, what looks to be trichloride (Cl[3]) could also be carbon triiodide, if the person didn't use serifs for the "I". Though, both don't really exist outside of reactions AFIK. The handwriting for subscripted "3" also makes it look like a lowercase "I" making it carbon and lithium. But again, a chemical with just a single carbon and lithium atom doesn't really exist either.
Getting really close
I think this could be benzoyl-something, and hexane was a crystallization solvent
It's just DI water
dropped into titanium tetrachloride? Not much else fumes this badly
Not quite
Ahhh, killing everyone in the room just so Sigma doesn't get another 200 bucks from you.
Or is this not a vain attempt at cleaning it?
Quenching reactive byproducts after a campaign
You also get to finish life early!
“Mrs Krinkle, why is Mrs Cigarette out?”
“There was an unfortunate accident in her class involving hydrochloric acid, so she was sent home for the week.”
“…But doesn’t she teach band?”
"did I fucking stutter?"
Whatever it is, you let it boil up too much. Need a bigger 3-neck.
~home~ Hospital or morgue
FTFY
Morgue ~~Home~~ Sweet ~~Home~~ Morgue 🤗
~~LPT~~ DPT
I got so many of those
I am not a chemist, but it was my understanding that HCl isn't a hexane. Are we just reusing glassware without removing the label, or is HCl actually a hexane?
Hexane is just a solvent. In that solvent we had dissolved a highly reactive chemical that decomposes to HCl when mixed with water. The reaction is highly exothermic and HCl is also volatile. Hence that plume that you are seeing is pure HCl fumes.
Thank you so much for the reply! I love it when memes teach me something!
