Chemistry Practical lesson 30/5/2012

~Dropped a test tube of Napthalene  during a experiment~

~Is a liquid but it have a very low melting point hence it turned to solid very quickly











~ it look like a white but transparent kind of solid-fy liquid which is already harden~

~it solid-fy like wax and the retort stand is sticked to the table~







These photos taken on 30/5/2012 when i having a chemistry practical lesson. i was having a experiment on finding out the time taken of a melted napthalene to be solid-fy but when i took the boiling tube of melted napthalene out using a test tube clipper.. it slipped off the clamp and is very loose hence it dropped and broke.. kinda glad i did not broke the thermometer filled with mercury as is a dangerous subtance, well haha it form a great piece of art though when the napthalene solid-fy is quite beautiful actually. so yes to me is good learning opportunity as well as a good photo that is taken
