dont start that shit with me- i hate moles and molar conversions and molality and molarity and every other fawking mole think you can think of, I HATE MOLES

 

Being that I used to work in a semiconductor plant (where they use a LOT of Hydroflouric Acid (HF)... HF has a tendancy to react with the calcium in your bones and basically eat them... can do really nasty stuff. Especially since it doesn't react with your skin all that much, you don't feel it. But the damage is done. We had many, many safety classes on dealing with HF. There is some cream you can put on your skin that will help stop it if you get it on there quick enough, but off the top of my head, I can't remember what it is. This was several years ago.

Hope that helps

 

oh ya i remember the prof did a demo where she poured HF on some seashells and they dissolved :eek3:

 

I remember a demo where the teach dropped a cube of pure sodium in a glass of water and it started on fire. :woowoo:
