Once in high school chemistry class my lab partner and I mixed a bunch of left over chemicals. The teacher kind of freaked out over the purple Haze coming out of the beaker. Evacuated the lab and we got a bit of an ass chewing.

"Purple," you say? Was it Hydrogen Sulfide? That does produce a purple color when created in a beaker. I know this because my HS chemistry teacher did it in class, once, as a demonstration. And yeah, it had that sulfury "rotten eggs" odor to it. But since it's poisonous/toxic, in sufficient concentrations, he didn't let us get too close to the beaker. He also did the same with Chlorine gas, which turns green/yellow. Thankfully, he didn't do the same with Hydrogen Cyanide! :D

He was really a cool teacher, though. He had a cork board where he pegged various chemistry related things, including the chemical formula of various "every day" substances. One of which happened to be the chemical formula for THC :eek:. It was to show the difference between THC ("domestic") and Canabolic Acid (Mexican/Acapulco Gold). The difference being the addition of the carboxyl group that gets added (making it an acid, not an alcohol) from the stronger/brighter sunlight in the Guerrero and Michoacan states.

I think my teacher would be fired/cancelled today, if not arrested! :mad:
