You also get to finish life early!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Whatever it is, you let it boil up too much. Need a bigger 3-neck.

It has been 0 days since the last Incident.

"Now, to finish off those potato chips Amy threw out yesterday."

"Those were toenail clippings!"

"A feast's a feast."

"Now it's my turn to take the box maybe?"

"The box says no!"

It's not an incident if you don't report it

Ahhh, killing everyone in the room just so Sigma doesn't get another 200 bucks from you.

Or is this not a vain attempt at cleaning it?

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Quenching reactive byproducts after a campaign

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 13 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The same will happen with chlorobromohexane, which is what appears to be in the flask.

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

That aint it chief. Judging by context and looks that flask is being cleaned with something that i wouldn't use

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Well, it's what is on the label.

But given the overall context, I wouldn't expect the label to reflect what is actually there either.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's using (B)oron though, not (Br)omine.

The thing though, is that boron would normally be written before chlorine. So, I would guess what is written is just the reagents and not the final product. Maybe boron trichloride? I haven't taken a chem class in 15 years, so I may be a bit out of touch though.

Also, what looks to be trichloride (Cl[3]) could also be carbon triiodide, if the person didn't use serifs for the "I". Though, both don't really exist outside of reactions AFIK. The handwriting for subscripted "3" also makes it look like a lowercase "I" making it carbon and lithium. But again, a chemical with just a single carbon and lithium atom doesn't really exist either.

Getting really close

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'll send a dick pic to whoever manages to guess the contents of this flask correctly

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 hours ago

Your new hotsauce recipe?

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 13 hours ago

I think this could be benzoyl-something, and hexane was a crystallization solvent

dropped into titanium tetrachloride? Not much else fumes this badly

“Mrs Krinkle, why is Mrs Cigarette out?”

“There was an unfortunate accident in her class involving hydrochloric acid, so she was sent home for the week.”

“…But doesn’t she teach band?”
