what is your scaryest chemical hot/cold concentrated diluted what ever
for me it was concentrated sulfuric ... i was so scared of it that i build my first fume hood mostly (with door that closed)just because i wanted to try the wet ashing(for those who will look at this method- it can do a massive boil over of hot concentrated sulfuric acid... go with with the regular ashing)
but im not scared of it anymore i just see it as a chemical and take extra precaution when i endle it... (i put a full face when transfering it bottle to beaker, this is the kind of respect that this chemical deserve)
now i got a new horrible , flesh destroying , oxydizing meany ,hydrogene peroxide :lol: , not the regular 3% the 30% that stuff seem totaly harmless at first (this is also why i find it so terrible, i dont give it the chemical respect that it must have)
for those who laft ,i dont find the picture but i have a burned finger about 3/8 by 1 inch that the skin was peeling off in the shower about 1/32 inch deep because of it. i had spill some on the side of a beaker (i didnt whear glove ,it is just oxygetated water... and rather than wash my hand i just rubed it on my pant and go on until it start to tickle more and more... eventualy i has turned brown and peeled off...
i would add that if you gave me the choice of putting my hand in 30%sulfuric acid or 30% hydrogene peroxide, i would go with sulfuric acid..
so what is yours worst chemical?????
