I think the teacher worked on the 1.5 g scale!

This should only be attempted by trained professionals familiar with the behavior of the chemicals involved. <BR/><BR/>At the scale of the reaction I described, molten pieces of iron traveled almost 12 feet through the air. In other words, keep everybody away. <BR/><BR/>This must be done where the molten iron will not do any damage.

Cole-Parmer probably sells the reagents to regular humans (with chem e degrees but no currently active academic credentials), no? I've got a few other things from them I could use. Otherwise I suppose I could gather some rust and markmierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817572921555044662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684895611791698771.post-25670042882905366642008-06-13T16:23:00.000-06:002008-06-13T16:23:00.000-06:00AWESOME!!!!!!!
