Hi there. Not on purpose! I’m always very careful in my lab but sometimes things do go a bit wrong…
One of the very first experiments I did was having to heat up two chemicals in a liquid to 180 degrees. Lots of solid formed that made it stop stirring and that kind of exploded all over everywhere I work. There were no flames or anything though. It just covered everything and I had to spend hours cleaning. It was really dark brown so where I work it still a bit of a funny colour… ?
No, luckily I’ve never made an explosion! ? ? You have to be very careful in the laboratory when you are working with things that might explode. But we would always wear safety goggles and a lab coat just in case!
