May 11 post
Sorry I forgot to blog on May 11. On that day measuring the methanol beads on the scale. What we were doing was taking the methonal and putting it into a Mason jar with water in it. WHen we put the cap on really tight we stared to shake the jar. Making the methanol disolve took FOREVER!! When you were done shaking the methonal into the water tha glass got really hot. After we were done dissolving the methonal we got are clean vegetable oil and we mixed the two together and shook it 8 times. Then we put are bottles upside down and we let them sit for the night.

How did you put the bottles upside down and how much methanol did you measure? What did you put under the bottles to hold them up? You have some small details that you left out.
ReplyDeleteNext time make your post on time! And I completly agree with you, it took forever for the methanol to dissolve, and the jar did get hot!
ReplyDeleteWe measured 250 mL of methanol and we put the bottles upside down by screwing on the cap and placing it on the beaker to stay upright.
