Chapter 48 (2/2)
If it was a chemical, that kind of small creature most likely wouldn’t have survived
“I told you, it’s water” Meng Ming placed the emptied out breaker to one side, and continued to empty another
After thinking this over, and looking back at the already labeled test tubes, Huang Qiao Yi excitedly said, “Really, is it really water? So you nize water, and whether or not we dare to directly pour it into her graduated cylinder…”
“Exactly!” Meng Ming looked back at the opposite party, and saw that Sean was only fiddling with 3 bottles He wasn’t paying anyconfidently said, “Little Qiao, lower your voice They still don’t know”
The operations on both sides quickly completed The situation was as below:
Zhuge Meng Ming’s side
Sean Bozmann’s side
Benzene: 05L
Benzene: 05L
Water: 092L
Water: 048L
Nitric Acid: 098L
Ammonium Nitrate solution: 098L?: 05L
The difference between the tere the nitric acid and ammonium nitrate solutions?!
At this e beakers, a tripod, and an alcohol lae bottles on the table and thought a bit; it felt like she’d made some mistake somewhere…but she had yet to discover where!
Sean set up the tripod and suddenly declared at Meng Ming, “Ha, you haven’t yet realized that you guys have already lost!”
“What?” Meng Ming suddenly lifted his head at Sean’s words
“You guys directly heated a it, it decomposed into ammonia, water, and carbon dioxide!”
“That’s right…” Huang Qiao Yi told Meng Ming that Sean’s words were correct
“But, your ammonia has already floay! Yet our ammonia is still here, our ammonium nitrate solution!” Sean pointed at the bottle of solution that he was prepared to heat “When you heat that, it will produce even uys have You’ve already lost your chance!”
When the surrounding students heard this, they ian to write out the equation on their papers Huang Qiao Yi thought about it, and discovered that it was indeed so! —If the aed to ammonium nitrate and then heated, it would indeed produce ht difference really didn’t count much
“It’s fine, Brother Meng Ming Although he’s right, the result won’t differ much The amount of water produced can’t be deter Qiao Yi’s words calainst Sean, “Does that set, there’s still the final step, distillation!” He was still very confident because Sean hadn’t realized at all that there was 05L of water in their initial materials! That minor difference couldn’t possibly make an impact on that 05L difference
“That’s true, but,” Sean reet to the last step?”
Sean’s wordsQiao Yi more alarmed Ah…don’t tell me…! She suddenly discovered where her problem was!
“Based on your e beaker you produced should be nitric acid! How do you plan on distilling nitric acid solution?” Sean laughed
All the students cried out ‘oh’ in realization! They all understood what Sean was saying
Huang Qiao Yi finally understood Nitric acid was volatile, so this large beaker of solution couldn’t be distilled to form pure water! —No matter how much nitric acid was distilled, it would remain as nitric acid!
The only things re’s table were benzene, water, and 098L of nitric acid that they couldn’t eliminate Nearly 1L of solution was completely wasted!
“Brother Meng Ming…” Huang Qiao Yi slowly said, her head lowered
“What’s wrong? Are his words right?” Meng Ming turned his head to the side and asked
“I’ prettyQiao Yi’s hands were on the lab table, her eyes looking like they’d quickly well up with tears
Huang Qiao Yi hadn’t thought that this would happen She knew they had to be victorious, and had been completely immersed into the co the thrill of the experiment, she’d been careless and instantly lost half of the product!
Sean’s voice could be heard again, “You guys had better just ad your ti”
Seeing that Huang Qiao Yi was on the verge of crying, Meng Ming hurriedly coive up now, everything will be over” “We’re just lacking 1L, we can catch up in an instant!”
Meng Ming did some calculations If Sean didn’t discover that bottle 9 ater, there would only be around a 05L difference between them
“Then, how do you plan on catching up?” Sean casually said, already starting to heat up his ammonium nitrate solution
Meng Ming looked at their table, getting an idea of their current situation—there were only benzene, water, and nitric acid on the table They didn’t react to each other at all In other words, these cheer served any use
Even the Zhuge Style Cheating Technique wasn’t enough to catch up to the other party…
Was it…?
