You know that you and your partner have been doing too many titration labs when she starts refering to the buffer as "cute". Chemistry, much like economy, has a way of slowly infiltrating your brain until all the non-chem people start doubting your sanity. Unless they're already doubting your sanity, in which case you're probably just insane.
But yes, apparently we had very cute stock solution buffers. Then we're suppose to mix our own buffer to a certain assigned pH which involved backwards calculation to find out how many mL of this to use to dissolve how many grams of that. My buffer turned out to be only .03 off from my assigned pH when we ran through the first pH meter readings. I was very proud of myself.
The feeling of which is somewhat ruined by the amount of to-read materials piled on my desk. As that I'm up early anyway, I should probably dig in.
Starfish day in bio!
