National Chemistry Week Crystal Growing
It is National Chemistry Week (LINK) and the highpoint of the week will be Mole Day (October 23 ... 10.23 ... you know .... Avogadro's Number ... 6.02 x 10(23) ... man, it kills the mood when you have to explain everything).
So, in the first year chemistry class we tried growing crystals of Potassium Aluminum Sulphate ...
And Copper (II) sulphate.
All in all the crystals were very nice. The class set of crystals can be seen by following the link below.
