WHERE IS HER LABCOAT OMG

[–]bastocrat 29 points30 points ago

...and her gloves!? At least she's wearing goggles.

[–]TheRealWondertruffle 25 points26 points ago

Stacey didn't wear her goggles. Now she doesn't need them.

[–]bastocrat 20 points21 points ago

[–]TheRealWondertruffle 3 points4 points ago

Dammit. I knew Stacey didn't sound right. I think I was thinking of "Stacey's Mom".

Timmy studied Chemistry,

But he studies it no more.

For what he thought was H2O

Was H2SO4.

[–]WendyLRogers3 0 points1 point ago

Zombies don't need goggles

Truly memorable advice.

[–]TuskedOdin 1 point2 points ago

Non reactive gloves*… otherwise that could be worsening an already bad situation…

[–]peted1884 10 points11 points ago

This is poor titration technique. The stopcock handles should be to the right and controlled by the left hand for a right-handed person so that you pull into the taper rather than push it out. The right hand is used to swirl the flask. This is obviously just a set up photo anyhow.

[–]_pra 15 points16 points ago

I thought it was, "acid into base"?

[–]Catalyst6 12 points13 points ago

Brushes off coat, adjust goggles.

Actually, this particular titration is probably using phenothelien (I know I spelled that wrong) which is colorless while acidic and pink when basic. Therefore you want to add base to the acidic conditions so any lasting appearance of pink will tell you that a basic environment has been achieved

[–]Cras 10 points11 points ago

phenolphthalein

[–]Catalyst6 0 points1 point ago

Thank you. Dangers of typing on a phone, makes you look like a dumbass while explaining things.

[–]le_fapion 1 point2 points ago

I use to steal that from the lab, write letters to GF with it and told her to spray Tylex for a cool message. (I'm about to get pwned with "stalker" comments, aren't I?)

[–]QGB391 4 points5 points ago

Correct. Except she is doing a terrible job at it.

[–]Cochise22 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it definitely seems like a pretty bad titration. I was always told that you wanted it to be as faint a shade of pink as possible, and that stuff is dark. Granted, I haven't done a titration in almost 9 years so I could definitely be wrong.

[–]Catalyst6 1 point2 points ago

I was going off the whole "base" thing before, but looking back now I doubt that they are using phenolphthalein, since you have to waaaay overshoot the mark to get it dark, and even then it's only pink not blood red. It's probably a different kind of indicator.

Or it's movie science. Y'know, bubbling green and blue beakers everywhere.

[–]Spineless_John 0 points1 point ago

It's probably just a stock photoshoot.

[–]QGB391 0 points1 point ago

Movie science kind of is responsible for my initial disappointment studying chemistry...

This one is clear too, huh? What about this one? Cloudy.... Oh, that's cool too, I guess.

[–]Catalyst6 0 points1 point ago

Yeahhhh when you first start they show you all kind of whiz-bang freaky color experiments, but half the time that's just food coloring. Get into chem proper and almost everything is indistinguishable from water.

[–]QGB391 0 points1 point ago

Nailed it. Well done!

[–]jferrellhot 0 points1 point ago

what

[–]Certus 1 point2 points ago

"Always add acid to water." That's how I remember it.

[–]typhoidisbad 4 points5 points ago

Sometimes, water tastes better without acid.

[–]tim_the_herbologist 2 points3 points ago

Sometimes water tastes like colours with acid

[–]gwot 0 points1 point ago

I just remember the exact opposite: "First the acid, and.. nowwww the water". Remember to say it out loud whenever you are preparing dilutions of strong acids in undergraduate labs (whilst doing the opposite of course), gets weird looks from instructors.

[–]KrunoS 0 points1 point ago

It works both ways. Never, titrate with carbonates though, unless you fancy cleaning tiny valves and shit.

[–]mmmeep 5 points6 points ago

repost?

[–]putrid_poo_nugget 2 points3 points ago

repost.

No shit.

[–]AreWeNotMenOfScience 2 points3 points ago

I approve of science humor, which is severely lacking here.

[–]uhmerikin 2 points3 points ago

For some reason this reminds me of back when I was in architecture school, some people had shirts made up that read "Architects do it with models". I know this contributes nothing to this post, POOF!

[–]zoidy-1 1 point2 points ago

we have a shirt that says my cantilever is bigger than yours

[–]uhmerikin 0 points1 point ago

I like it... It works in that oddball kind of way.

[–]zakarm22 1 point2 points ago

god i've seen at least NINE THOUSAND different versions of this

[–]yelowpunk 0 points1 point ago

don't you mean over nine thousand? because, if you don't, you might just get your Internet license suspended.

[–]joeperudo 3 points4 points ago

[–]CastleOS 0 points1 point ago

Contrarily, titrations can take a great deal of time to complete and an even longer time to perfect. There shall be no "dropping" today.

[–]icewood91 0 points1 point ago

Ohhh yeah baby titrate that good

[–]FromTheId 0 points1 point ago

She's breaking like seventy lab safety rules.

You know...I have to do chemistry things all week. I thought I'd log into reddit on this wonderful Friday night, drink some whiskey, play guitar...I dunno, just forget about work. But no, I click a link without looking at the title and BEHOLD it's a goddamn titration. Fuck you, OP.

I'm kidding, I fucking love science!

[–]ctm18584 -1 points0 points ago

Actually, you add Acid...

You know how I know this is one of those hardcore reposts? My friend linked me this months ago from 9GAG.

[–]KrunoS 0 points1 point ago

Her technique is atrocious. The burette should be facing the other way, gives better torsion control and more stability. The flask should be handled with a 3 or 4 finger claw grip and her lab coat. Also, scarves are a big no no.

[–]Rodot 0 points1 point ago

What the fuck? Why is she still titrating the buffer solution? The phenolphthalein indicator already turned a while ago. What is she doing? STAHP!

[–]MONDARIZ 0 points1 point ago

They do it periodically...

[–]OTuama 0 points1 point ago

Seeing as how she didn't remove her loose articles of clothing, she does not know how to do it.

Did her shirt have an extra sleeve and she was just like, 'fuck it, now it's a scarf'?

I've seen this already. At the start of the year. On facebook, of all things. repost. But, still, damn hilarious.
