PM me or post here and I'll add it!

so the only chemistry related thing in this thread is dynamite, tnt, and thorium? great op

Yessss. I fucking love chemistry, I'm not the best at it but it's alway's really interested me. Also, I'm quite proud of this, I can name all the elements on the periodic table from their symbols. Sad, I know.

So for all you chemistry lovers Stoichiometry

I wish I had the slightest inkling of chemistry knowledge, unfortunately I cocked around in high school and missed out on a lot of it. It's fascinating but complicated as all hell.

I have a chemistry degree. Wahoo!

[QUOTE=mike;39486935]I have a chemistry degree. Wahoo![/QUOTE] Woohoo! Let's open some wine and celebrate!

[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;39486857]So for all you chemistry lovers Stoichiometry[/QUOTE] One of my favorite topics back in Chem 1 I'm in AP Chem (Chem 2) right now, and I'm liking it so far. My favorite topics right now are thermo and electrochem

Chem is cool. I had an element collection when I was younger, but unfortunately I got rid of most of them :(

I'm president of my chem club, because there is no physics club at my school.

Why do meth labs explode?

[QUOTE=Krinkels;39488052]Why do meth labs explode?[/QUOTE] Because ex-chemistry teachers lose interest in them

so I made chalk the other day yeah I drew a Dalek with it [IMG]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/483602_481474991915004_1221057932_n.jpg[/IMG]

Sugar rockets are fun to make.

I used a coffee cup as calorimeter last thursday, wooo~

[QUOTE=wallyroberto_2;39488411]I used a coffee cup as calorimeter last thursday, wooo~[/QUOTE] A few months ago our class was doing calorimetry labs, and my + my partner's part was to find the change in temp for the reaction HNO3(aq) + Mg(s). We (and the others doing similar reactions) were dumb enough to do the reaction whilst not under a fume hood and we all died

I once made the entire chemistry department of my school stink of hexane for about a month. Probably should have done it in the fume cupboard looking back on it but oh well.

Me and my lab partner managed to make a fume cupboard smell of cloves. We were trying get the eugenol from cloves via steam destillation but somebody botched our steam kettle and caused it to lose temperature, it then sucked up some of the clove mixture into the kettle but anyway we continued. After a bit a leak sprung in the hose so we turned of the kettle and removed the steam hose/nozzle from the setup, it was to late when we noticed that the hose was bended which caused the pressure to build up in the kettle. It then blew the cork off the kettle and then covered the entire fume cupboard with cloves tea. Oh and WHOOO chemistry thread :v:

If you push on the table beside it, it'll change the numbers displayed... A finger print's oil's weight also will change the numbers...

bfd we had like 3 of them in my freshman chem lab lol

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;39489252]bfd we had like 3 of them in my freshman chem lab lol[/QUOTE] Damn you rich Americans. Our highschool ones did upto 3 sigfigs.

I think my lab has 4 of those, and I basically live in a fucking corn field.

Wait, sigfigs or decimal points? Because 3 sigfigs with a 100g object is not very impressive.

guys when i heard oxygen and magnessium were going out my reaction was OMg! sorry for the bad pun, i'm a little out of my element here.

be careful or we might Lead this thread down a dark path.
