like wad i promised yesteday....this post is DEDICATED to the =)
Saponification of Soap is our chem SIA project....and like my group members consist of Aby, Zoe and I=)
We knew we had to like make soap from scratch using NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) and some type of fats ><>
After like going crazy trying to get NaOH(which apparantly cannot be bought purely as it is a controlled substance cz it can be used to make bombs =_=...wad does the school expect us to do? steal frm the lab?) we tried searching the ENTIRE cleaning section of NTUC and Cold Storage...and still couldnt find anything....=( then we realised that DRAINCLEANER has a VERY high percentage of NaOH....we were like "we have been bathing using DRAINCLEANER and FATS" then we tried this dunno wad soapy snake draincleaner frm Cold Storage....which... DOESNT WORK!!! we ended up like staying in Zoe's house till 12.30am!!!! all thanks to abby...who refuses to call home as she was too busy calling her *cough....we also played the impossible quiz ><...
oh yar...Zoe's house is really really really reallly VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY x 10000000000000000...........0 NICE!! i mean like really very very nice.....when you enter...its like a corridor then Zoe's room is on the left while her brother's room is on the right....walk a little further then you will see the living room...which they have this BLACK plasma TV...forgotten wad brand le>< too=")" kitchen=")"><><....
lets talk about ZOE's room=) her room is PURPLE!!! her bedsheets are PURPLE...with PURPLE blinds....then her blanket is red teddy bears which is really really really cute!! Then zoe's rooom is real neat><><><
ok...back to the soap project.....then we were like "AHHHHH why didnt it work?" then abby's parents decided to help....they like managed to get ALL THE INGREDIENTS we needed...if you wanna make soap:
80g of oil
45g of water
80g of VEGETABLE SHORTENING
20g of Sodium Hydroxide
1.) pour COLD water into NaOH, it will result in a reaction that creates dangerous toxic
fumes which is HARMFUL to the human body... quack has a swollen eye bcuz of it
2.) After NaOH has fully dissolve...pour in oil...meanwhile... "cream" the vegetable shortening
3.) add in vegetable shortening and stir until it has fully dissolved
4.) after that, keep stiring for 20 minutes...after 20min...stir every 10min for 2hours..
NO MATTER WAD HAPPENS...DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT THE SOLUTION INTO THE FRIDGE...IT WILL RESULT IN THIS:
Which is DISGUSTING...all the fats will seperate and solidify....thus creating : FREAK SOAP!
okay...lessons of the day:
1.) ZOE's house is REALLY REALLY nice
2.) Abigail's parents are resourceful
3.) Soap making is nice=)
