Fridays... always a long day... stay in school all day. Right after recess we leave our class to go to the Bio lab for Bio and Science lab for Chemistry. It always seems that we are balik'ing early. Yay, Bio, quite fun when it comes to experiments. Got to play around with the peanut and cashew nut. Burn, burn, heat, heat, collect, collect. Burnt so may innocent nuts, all so dirty all over the table, black burnt carcinogenated nut remains. Collected peanut gas, or cashew nut gas, Nut dioxide! or Nut oxide! Chemistry, it seems that our class is very slow, so, teacher asked us to do three experiments at once. (eyes widening, jaws opening) No matter, very smgt, while teacher was explaining i was already planning to be efficient. Eyes on what we have to take! Then, when teacher asked us to start, haste, haste, i quickly tasked everyone to do something. Quite fun, first did the copper sulphate experiment to get oxygen and copper. Used 8 batteries. Then decided to do the other copper sulphate experiment involving 1 cent coin and 5 cent coin. Gotta sacrifice lor. SMGT all the way. Then teacher said that the batteries might not be that powerful anymore. So, i got an ammeter and some crocodile clips to test the batteries, ended up testing all that was left in the box. Ranked it from powerful, to moderate to... useless.... Then started on our third experiment involving 2M HCl. Corrosive substance. Started electrolysis, collected hydrogen and chlorine gas. Cool, cool, COOL!!! Then it was testing time, the 1 cent coin has changed!!! The 5 cent coin has changed!!! Downgraded!!! So, i lost 4 cents in the process? Then it was the test for hydrogen, very geram with the splinter, don't want to burn!!! Get the Bunsen burner!!! Then... 'pop'... yes, success!!! Cool!!! Next we tested the oxygen. FYI, it's very hard to collect oxygen. So, anyway, it failed to ignite the glowing wooden splinter. Nooo... it failed!!! Then tested the chlorine gas... ouch, ouch, the acid is burning. Painful especially at the wounds. A stinging sensation. It seems that chlorine gas will dissolve in the acid. So.... okay, fuh, tired, stop for a while, continue in part 2.
