[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 149583, member: 176362"] So Here It Is, Oxidation! Based on ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ by Slade Are you setting up your Quick-Fit on the desk? It’s the time that every Chemist makes a mess, Do you light the Bunsen burner? Do you add the ethanol? Does it look as though it’s boiled out of control…?! So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain; Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aaiin!! Are you waiting to distil the aldehyde? Are you sure your alcohol’s been oxidised? Does it form a silver mirror? Does it turn dichromate green? Does it form precipitates with hydrazines?! So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain; Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aain!! What do you do when you realise you never added the anti-bumping stuff - aah-haa-aaa! Are you setting up your Quick-Fit on the desk? Are you hoping your dichromate’s in excess? Do you heat it under reflux, With some H2SO4? Does your pear-shaped flask go pear-shaped even more? So here it is, oxidation; our reaction’s down the drain; Look at the mess we’ve made - we’ll have to start aga-aa-aaain…!!! [/QUOTE]
