Google90 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Carbon Dioxide = :shame: One of my products for a lab today was carbon dioxide, water and salt. As the carbon dioxide gas rose up, a little went up my nose. It felt like my internal organs melting :-w . As this happened, I got startled and I knocked some nitric acid right on my sneakers, almost completely putting a hole in them.

sa121 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ouch. Well, I haven't had that much expiernce with chemicals (8th grade), but my science partner kept sniffing the ones we weren't supposed to touch/ do anything with without gloves. Forgot exactly what it was, though. #-o Oh and that same lab partner has the school record of 14 things broke in a week, and 29 total. Now he can't touch anything that can break. :lol: R.I.P Shiva and The Old NiteVisit My Huge Goals!!! <---- Click ThisMy Pk GalleryGWD: 3x Saradomin Sword, 2x Saradomin Hilt, 2X B Boots, 1x Tasset, 2X B Plate, 2X Shard, 1X D MedTDs: 3x Solo Claws, 1x Solo Armour Piece99 Untrimmed HP, 0% Pc'd and before Soul Wars -- Trimmed July 1, 2009First Untrimmed HP Cape to 96 summon, top 300 to 96 summonProud owner of the strength, magic, range, and hitpoints capes.Spa_Ins/LOLCANADA on IRC.

das1330 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 hmmm, well last year my science teacher deceded we would mix sugar and hydrocloric acid? (i think it was hydrochloric). long story short, she "forgot" that the reaction produced a poisonous gas, and we had to evacuate a building of 700-some people.

knives669 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Handling Hydrochloric Acid has always made me scared. :( I've never really had an accident with a chemical, but we had to heat up a test tube of H202 one time, then weigh it. I used the clamps to take the test tube from above the burner and set it on the scale, and the damn test tube rolled off the scale and landed on a plastic tray. It burned all the way through the plastic. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownmasterofnothing Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Not really with chemicals, but the bunsen burner. I couldn't get the fire going. But the gas was still coming out. So when it finally lit, the flame just exploded out towards my hand. But luckily, i dodged it really fast. Didn't know you could really outrun fire. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitramosma Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 One of my most fun chemistry moments was this year in AP Chem. The group working next to mine was working with a beaker of about 50 mL of .5M Sb3Cl in 6M HCl and one of the group members moved his arm across the table without thinking and spilled it all over his right arm and leg. He was so worried about the stuff on his arm (understandable as 6 Molar hydrochloric acid is pretty strong) that he neglected the stuff on his pants. Long story short he has about 4 - 1 inch holes on his pants by the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonstark7x8 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've only splashed a little HCL on myself, nothing worse. Our school uses a diluted form of hydrochloric acid too, so just small rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kido14 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Not sure if this is something I would be bragging about xD. I hope you told your teacher O.o. I'm suprised I haven't had any mishaps with chemicals considering how much of a klutz I can be at times. I guess I just haven't done many experiments with chemicals lately as I had chemistry two years ago, environmental science last year, and now I have anatomy.

pompey_spud Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Pfft lucky, thanks to the EU, the acids we us in our class couldn't erode butter.... My only real story from Chemistry, is from a few weeks ago or so. We did something with chloroform. The teacher naturally warned us to keep our nose the hell away from the bell jar full of it at the front, but being the responsible, smart young man I am, I accepted the dare to take a great whiff of it. Well, I fainted almost instantaneously, hit my head on a stool on the way down and was off school for a few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonimu Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 hmmm, well last year my science teacher deceded we would mix sugar and hydrocloric acid? (i think it was hydrochloric). long story short, she "forgot" that the reaction produced a poisonous gas, and we had to evacuate a building of 700-some people. Can someone please tell me what that equation is? The "poisonous gas" is probably chlorine, so the best I could do is (my school doesn't do much chemistry or physics until 10th and 11th (I'm in 9.7th)): 2HCl + C6H12O6 -> Cl2 + 4H2O + 6CH + O2 Losers...Are you blind or ignoring me on purpose?Even though I sometimes side with religious people in some debates, I no longer consider myself religious.
