  • As spotlightman asked, how did u get 50%??

  • how the hell did you get 50% hydrogen peroxide!

  • Nice, but get a job.

  • could you not use MnO2 instead? its loads cheaper and easy to get.

  • unfortunately we're not allowed to do this one in the chemistry lab :((( the only semi-interesting experiment we're done so far was the iodine clock experiment, that was pretty cool.

  • That's very interesting! 5*

  • Quite cool, are you a chemistry lecturer?

  • lol love it....let's brush our teeth!!
