Test Day

So we took our Significant Figures test today, and I was all like, I got this, and then I was like "Whoa, this is a lot of numbers," then I was like "totally got an 'A'." So I think I did well. But it was really long and I goofed by finishing quickly so it felt like forever. And looked like this:
But I think I got this down. I also found out that THIS site is very useful for Metric Conversion

It is delicious,

Measuring and Significant Digits.

We learned how to figure out how many digits to put into a number when rounding. For addition you have as many decimal as the lowest number of decimals in the values, for multiplication the lower significant digits. It's apparently useful, but I don't know when to use it.
Ex. 4.35 x 3.5312 = 15.36 acording to the rounding of significant digits.

Practice Test

So we had a practice test and I was all like, "What?" because I knew nothing that was on the test.and in the end I'm pretty sure I failed, but you never know. There was stuff like adding masses, and I was like Whoa, and Mind = Blown. So ya, I did stuff and felt like this:
So ya. 
And that concludes this episode of, "This Day in Chemistry"

Let's Cook, Aspirin.

So the other day I got to cook drugs. It was the Aspirin lab, and we had to cook it down to cause chemical reactions and purify it, we are currently waiting for it to dry as a purified crystallized form. It was actually pretty interesting watching the chemicals mix together, and comparing our batch to the burned batch next to us. It was pretty cool, and hot from the boiling water.
And Have a Great Day.
I also realized the effort that goes into the Pharmaceutical industry, I mean it's ridiculous.
I also learned more about Felix Hoffman, its inventor HERE
