What’s happening in a chemist’s lab?
A chemist doing experiments mainly differs from some school students' water quality tests.
Making way of more
than the external process chemist needs to know why the reaction proceeds, how
it proceeds, at what external condition it works, and how much yield you get. Everything that is
happening inside different molecules and different atoms.
Rather than a
logarithm that needs to be solved, we need to know the why, how, when, and what
of a chemical process. As you all know, our entire world is a chemical system
processing numerous chemical reactions, many discovered, and many more to
discover. More than the discoveries scientists invented many more. We need to
know that too…..oh god.
From a chemistry student's point of view, it’s a tedious process, the chemical analysis, detection, preparation, titration, synthesis, and the list continuous to more. Rather than in a theoretical way, we do the practicals with acids and chemicals. yes, we are colleges of hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, and many chemicals.
When you do the
reaction, alcohols burn in your hands, acids make marks, and reagents make you
sniff and irritate. The more you have to do, the more marks and reactions will
happen in your body, and at last, when you get out of the lab, your pure white
lab coat will have beautiful designs printed perfectly. The best part is
sometimes we even can't find why this reaction proceeds like this.
Well, it's the process that counts not the results, we learn, unlearn and relearn in our practicals. In that case, we all are the same
Just to discover
something memorable. In that case, someone is Joseph Priestley, and others will be Louis Pasteur, Dmitri Mendeleev, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. Honestly speaking I am none among them.
