Subject: Oxygen Error...


Heyy everyone,

I made a mistake in my post about O2.

If you mix HCl (Hydrocloric Acid) and Zinc, the result is the release of
Hydrogen gas, not Oxygen.

Hats off to François Mülller who caught my mistake.

In my defense, 1)  it was late,  2)  the three month old has spent most of
the last few nights imitating Pavarotti at 100 decibles with a bad cold,
and 3)  occasionally I'm known to be an idiot.

But at least now you know how to amaze your friends and relatives by
blowing up the garage trying to make your own "oxygen" generator...

; -)

Kevin.
