Experiment During Class #4 (May 12)

Today I am going to type what happened in class three days ago. First our teacher showed us a demonstration on how to open our bottles. We first have to put the bottle over a bucket. Then you open the bottle you have to have one person untwisting it and one holding the bottle. The person unscrewing the bottle unscrews it slowly and the person holding it will slowly squeeze the bottle to get the all the unused debris out. A lot of the oil in the bottle didn't settle down enough and even though when we squeezed out the unused debris we still had to let the oil settle for another day. How we got all of the unused debris was when we did our last experiment (read Experiment During Class #3) the methanol and the sodium hydroxide reacted with the oil and the oil produced all of the unneeded debris and things inside the bottle.
