hi all. am vasundhara's brother who passed his class XII exams in 2003 (yes,i saw that passed out gag coming). disclaimer: the following experiments were tried succesfully by me in the chem lab, but on no account should any of you try any of it.. they are a lot stricter now! and some of them may end up hurting you.. so i repeat.. dont try it.(its not that deadly, but dont do it anyway).
so there was jaya, screaming at me as usual .. it all started when i lit a matchstick when kicha was explaining safety procedures during the first lab class. it didnt help that some handy chemicals was nearby, so ever since then jaya has had it in her head to blame me. as i was saying, jaya was shouting about using too much reagent, so i thought i would do a side experiment and try to make her turn purple. enter NaHCO3 and aqua regia. wow,that test tube did a dance before it burst..
location 2: i messed up "accidentally" some dye we were supposed to get and made glue (i still dont know how) instead. so after i made the dye, went and poured it down the sink, and guess what! glue actually blocks up those pathetic little holes they call drain covers. the chem lab got a shiny new permanent sink plug that day, which i heard they later removed. (you are supposed to pour the dye outside,not in the sink, for your info). then there was the time when H2S didnt work (that damn kipps apparatus, i heard they havent changed it at all). so Aandi, my fav. teach at the chem dept, gave me NH4HS solution, which is like magic potion for cation testing (ask for it, it gives gr8 results). unfortunately i had the misfortune of jaya looking at me when pouring, and as i was returning the glare, i sort of poured it on some of aandi's books! wow, there were a lot of cations in her together with chemistry edition,i'll say that. for a lot more stories abt how my friends and i had fun in the chem lab both in school and in college, all you need to do is respond to this post. no responses and i will take it that it is no longer an interesting topic. no hard feelings,either. cheers, ananth
!disclaimer:do not try it at all!
