Today

I'll send my best wishes as well, hope your daughter gets better soon!

You'll know when she's on the mend John - when the "Daddy can I have a ..." starts

Great to hear things are going a bit better

So, today I opened a couple of used hand warmers, the kind that use iron.

I poured them into a bottle and washed them with water a couple times, then poured in acetic acid and heated it, creating Fe(II) aqueous. Then I added H2O2, Hydrogen Peroxide, and reduced it further to Fe(III). Finally, I added Ammonia, NH3, and precipitated Ferric Hydroxide, Fe(OH)3.

Anyways, that was fun. Now I have to figure out what to do with the Ferric Hydroxide. Anyone have some suggestions?

Know anyone with a case of Arsenic Poisoning...

If my chemistry pays off...I believe that is an antidote for it

Without going into too much detail, lets just say the car gave as good as it got.

Good. I would have run the f***ers over myself too



I've had a crap day myself. I can't be bothered with the banal details, but the end result is I'm in a foul mood.

...or is that a fowl mood

Ehh, i had quite a depressing day, didn't get enough sleep, was at a party, had an exam at school this afternoon, and didn't have enough time to finish, and im pretty sure i failed miserably, and i almost ran out of petrol on the way home.
