Thursday, 13-Sep-12 23:11:53 UTC from web- I am an idiot repeated this.
-
@mushi Why?
-
@hakupony onother 6 hours long reaction
-
@mushi okay, that does sound boring, very boring
-
@mushi No loneliness here, sir.
-
@magicalheartcadence not here, there
-
@mushi Where is there?
-
@magicalheartcadence the lab i work at
-
@mushi Ohh, I see. I hope it doesn't go as boring as expected
-
@magicalheartcadence it will xD
-
@mushi That's unknown certainty. :3
-
@magicalheartcadence actually, that will be my 5th 6 hours reaction, so i know how it is xD
-
@mushi Ohh, I see. What happens at this reaction? I'm unfamiliar with how work goes in labs.
-
@magicalheartcadence This is passion fruit oil with formic acid and droping H2O2 , we need to put it under mechanical agitation for five hours after the H2O2 finish dropping, but this reaction is exotermical, so we need to cool it down everytime it gets close to 65ºC and add sodium bissulfite (agitating for more 30 min) to neutralise the remaining acid, and than, after the organic extraction and the evaporation of the solvent, it becomes a polyol (will sen pic in the next dash) http://ur1.ca/a84go
-
@mushi this is a polyol (the yeld is pathetic) we make some stuff with this and it become a poly urethane (next pic) http://ur1.ca/a84ht

@magicalheartcadence @mushi this is a polyol (the yeld is pathetic) we make some stuff with this and it become a poly urethane (next pic) http://ur1.ca/a84ib

@mushi Interesting. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but that's because science isn't my strong point ^^" best of luck, regardless!
-
@magicalheartcadence thank you ^^ i need luck, i already fail'd one of these reaction, so it was a huge waste of reagents and time. oh god the time i wasted....
-
@mushi Big mistakes are reminders not to do them in the future, you'll continue to improve :3
-
@magicalheartcadence i hope so xD my professor didnt seem happy to see the fail'd polyol, good thing she is cool and didnt not scoled me
-
@mushi That's good. I've had a history of difficult teachers up until college ^^;
-
@magicalheartcadence difficult teachers eh?
-
@mushi Merciless when it comes to mistakes. I was never hit or anything, but the scolding was harsh at to,es.
-
@magicalheartcadence oh, i had some like this. that sucks
-
@mushi Indeed. Things seem okay for both of us now though c:
-
@magicalheartcadence yeah, at lest this. but the college is a good place to find bad professors
-
@mushi Heh, consider yourself lucky, then. I'd say my own college has a good reputation, at least fairly
