May 17th, 2011

Today in class we did the usual routine, putting on our aprons, goggles, and gloves. For me, I had to take out my "Oil" because it mainly consististed of that ugly yellow animal fat layer, so I just had to dump it all out. Meanwhile, we did the same thing we did sometime last week, and that was to get the sodium hydroxide tabs and put them in room temperature tap water. We did the same thing, including measurements, and poured them from a petri dish into the little jar of water. I expected and got the same result as last time. When you shake the jar, the little pellet like things dissolved, and the jar felt hot, creating a chemical reaction. That's pretty much all that we did today.
