I STILL need a holepuncher.
ANYWAY, i remembered that i forgot to (erh, oxymoron) blog about something horrendous that happened today during chem prac.
So it was titration number 6. I was at the point where i was supposed to make my FA3 so that's like after mixing the Iron thingie into sulphuric acid, before adding it into the graduated flask yes? So how do i do that? I pour the solution from the beaker, into the funnel and use my stirrer as a guide yes? Like a good boy who's gonna get full marks for Skill B.
ANYWAY. Since the funnel was like, stuck in the graduated flask and no air could come out, all the solution got stuck. So naturally i had to leave the stirrer there and lift up to the funnel so that air could come out, and solution could flow in. And guess what, the spastic stirrer dropped THROUGH the spastic funnel and ended up inside the spastic graduated flask! How spastic is THAT?
And what's worse, my teacher totally saw it happen. He was looking at me pour, then well, that happened. So obviously i was like shocked. I mean since when was the stirrer thinner than the funnel. Anyway, i took everything out, and tried to pour the stupid stirrer out. But like coz liquid flows or something funny physics theory, so the stupid stirrer refused to come out, and the liquid was gonna drop out. So naturally i couldn't let that happen or not the solution wouldn't be accurate anymore and i would have to redo the entire thing! So i was like trying to stick my finger into the flast to take it out, and like turning it this way and that way.
Then Mr Tan came over and said to me 'Chris, you're such a himbo!'
I was like 'WHAT!!!!!!!!' I was totally insulted can?!? Wah lau! Anyway so he used the funny spatula (that plastic white spoon) and tried to take it out. Then cannot. So had to use TWO spatulas and kiap it like chopsticks and managed to save the spastic stirrer out. Wahhhh. Ok then after that everything went rather smoothly. Oh WAIT it didn't. My titration readings were like completely off.
First was 20.0, 2nd was like 21.8?!? Then 3rd was like 21.2?!?! So how!? 1o mins left. I don't tell u what i did. But eventually my readings became something like... 21.10 and 21.20. xD Magical. =)
Anyway, yesss so that's the story of chem prac 6. Hmph! I STILL feel insulted so NOBODY call me a himbo or i'll clobber you.
