Musings of the day

Chemistry Inspired
always thought chem was interesting, but never knew it could get so fun..

today's lab session..
1) cooked eggs using paper as fuel
2) measured CO2 gas composition for soft drinks (results: 1cm3 soft drink yields 1cm3 gas)
3) cooked egg without fire using just KOH (potassium hydroxide) pellets and water (exothermic reaction demonstration- water went fr 20 deg to 110 deg in 1 min)
