Alchemist Dream Lab:
In the early days of chemistry, often referred to as alchemy, people had two basic objectives.
1. Creat gold from some other base element.
2. Creat or discover the secret to everlasting life.
As of today I think both of these are fairly un-realistic and are mearly a part of the history of science.
Objective: The objective of the Alchemist dream lab is fairly benine. We are simply going to be coating pennies with zinc and then heating them to make an alloy. The alloy is brass.
Saftey Issues
* This lab used extremely caustic (destroys organic tissue) materials. Keep this stuff off your skin. If you get it on your skin, simply wash off. Obviously you will want to keep goggle on at ALL times.
* This lab also has the issue of spontaneous combustion. When the ingredients are mixed and added to paper, this paper can sometimes start on fire. This is only bad if that paper is in the garbage can. Therefore all paper towel will need to be soaked with water before thrown away.
