I can help.

Chem was my OG minor in College.   til I changed it to  Structural engineering.

Math is another one I can help with.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Haz,
Glad someone could help on the question. All I remember from high school chemistry is that I thought it would be a good idea to put Francium into the school fountain, but the teacher didn't think that was such a hot idea.  ::)

I was a little pyromaniac back then.........  ;)

My undergrad and grad stuff was in finance so I can help with economics and finance stuff, plus some computer science/info systems questions too.....

Our chemistry teacher actually put a rather large chunk of pure metallic sodium into about a liter of water during class one time. We all managed to get out of the room - at his rather loud and insistent instruction BTW - before it blew. It was an accident, but then he seemed to have a number of those "accidents". Nothing intentional, just a bit on the distracted side. Nice guy tho, family friend too.

A pyro huh? Did you almost burn your house down? I did. Also built missiles out of savaged M1 cartridges and some powder using curtain rod tubes as the launchers. Played with fires in the city dump, using cast iron waste pipe as mortar tubes, dropped aerosol cans nozzle end into the tubes with one end in the fire.

That's all I'm going to admit to.

S..T Haz,

I got a headache trying to read and figure out what it is!  Back in the dark ages when I took Chemistry I don't even think Stoichiometry even existed.

High School Chem but since forgotten most of that.....

Mostly due to C2H5OH, aka ethanol, the primary ingredient in your Hazarita's..... ;D

I hope the Doc was able to help the young-un!

I always thaought that was  a "right of passage" groing up.  Today it falls under terrorist regulations.

Yeah, I almost burnt the house down.  Potassium permanganate and glycerin.  The spontanious combustion didn't work so I threw it away in the waste basket.  Then it worked.  There was also the super smoke bomb mixture that went off in the house during the "cooking" stage on the stove.  I had to get creative to get some of the ingrediants so I created a "laboratory" to have orders shipped to as many places wouldn't sell to individuals.  I probably had enough stuff stashed away in my bedroom closet to level the whole block.  I wasn't out to create mayhem on society, just liked to make things go bang.   I'm sure the lefty liberal would wet their twisted panties at some of the stuff I played with.  The statute of limitations has expired.

Then there was the model rockets with a little extra bang added.

 None of you should feel bad about any little "oops's" you may have had, Francis Bacon blew himself up several times.  ;D

Haz if you've got a college or even a community college and about $15 an hour or so, you can probably round up a tutor. They will probably want a copy of his text and notes as well.
