Johnny was a chemists son. But Johnny is no more. What Johnny thought was H20, Was H2S04.
Are you even sciencing if you don’t drink some piss you found in a beaker somewhere?
Observation: this looks like piss} Question: is this piss?} Hypothesis: this is probably piss} Experiment: drink the piss} Analysis: tastes like piss} Conclusion: it’s piss
could also check for urea content, or proteins, but sure why not drink it
I mean, drinking it (well tasting) used to be the legit way of testing it.
Well, you could say beer is yeast piss.
I’ll have another (lab brewed yeast piss. From malted grain. Sometimes with hops)
distilled water, lab grade ethanol, a couple drops of limonene, and there you go
Sadly the Erlenmeyer flask was previously used for some nasty water soluble compounds and just looks clean.
rinse -> acetic acid -> rinse -> Acqua regia-> Rinse -> Pirahna solution -> Rinse -> 500°C oven -> Rinse
I would then drink from it without even worrying
Is NileRed then too cautious when he only uses fresh breakers for stuff he is going to eat?
Don’t forget the phase-change cooling from the addition of solid state H20.
lab grade ethanol
That’s usually methylated spirit. It probably won’t kill you, but you’ll lose your vision.
methylated spirits are the ones used for cleaning, lab grade ethanol needs to be just ethanol or some reactions might fail, however in some badly managed labs you might find mislabeled stuff and have contaminants
still, you shouldn’t drink it anyways, as some producers use the highly carcinogenic benzene to make pure 100% ethanol, as distillation with water can only get you up to the 95,6% azeotrope, and some benzene might make it’s way in the product
I remember reading about a chemistry teacher found dead one morning. he had a habit of consuming the laboratory’s ethanol after hours, and the night before had accidentally poured himself a glass of methanol
