HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! So that’s where the pretty light comes from! Great job on synthesis and decomposition reactions. We’ll finish decomposition tomorrow. Now go forth and practice what you learned! (The balancing equations part, not the playing with magnesium part!) 🙂
I just have a question on the project. While looking at maps of where we are stranded, I noticed the Dast-e Lut desert is in the opposite direction of where we are crashed. So my question is: where exactly are we?
Mary Grace – Hmmmmmm….. I think you crashed right over central Dasht-e Lut, and that’s where you are stranded. I know this, because that’s what you saw just before the plane went down. Can you show me what you are talking about tomorrow?
I really enjoy this section!
The bubble and fire experiment was very cool today!
Will a combustion reaction produce the same amount of heat and flame that the bubbles did in class?
Adam – That was a combustion reaction! We were burning a hydrocarbon – natural gas.
