I have a fun memory of a lab in high school, must have been sophomore chem... Mix sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid, it bubbles a lot, precipitate NaCl (table salt) out of the result. My lab partner and I finished that in about 3 minutes.
And then, fueled by boredom, we started hunting for other bases and acids to mix... for science! Everything is going well until the teacher races over, grabs the beaker and practically throws it under a hood. I can't remember the precise inputs, but the resulting gas was _noxious_.
- AstralStorm 10y agoDefinitely sulphuric base and HCl for max chlorine intake and the beautiful underreacted SH.

- mjevans 10y agoIsn't that precisely what (scrubbed) hoods are for? Failing that, isn't that why your log of on site chemicals is kept well away from them and where they might be used, and the use area preferably having a nice set of windows for external viewing?
