just got home and chem prac wasnt that bad, except for one little thing.
lol, just when you thought i made it unscathed.
there were 5 given solution, one of which was ammonia. we were suppose to peform chem tests to deduce the nature of each.
so i decided on a short cut, since i didnt want to do the tests on all 5, a real waste of time.
so i dipped my fingers into all 5 and 2 were soapy (ie. either sodium hydroxide or ammonia).
so to distinguish the two, you basically just sniff and look out for the pungent smell of ammonia.
so i lifted one up to my nostrils and took a whiff.
i either underestimated the concentration of ammonia or i took one hell of a whiff.
the smell was so strong that i cringed and was immobalised for 30 sec at least.
it was horrible.
for the rest of the prac i just felt sick.
i could still smell the ammonia.
see i knew something would happen. i'm jinxed.
anyway, now i think i'm falling ill. no its not because of the ammonia of anything.
my sis has been ill for over a week and well i think i got it.
popped a panadol just now, hope it'll help, but i'm doubtful.
great, just what i need when the prelims are around the corner.
