Acidified Potassium Permanganate

Hi all,

I have done a search here and found a couple of recipes, but does anyone have a tried and true recipe for acidified potassium permanganate?
I need it for Friday, so should it be made up freshly on Friday morning?

TIA,
Helen

It's annoying! I'm using the same glue I used a few years ago....we had litres and litres of the stuff!

magnetic slime

Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for magnetic slime, please?
I haven't made slime in quite a while and even my basic slime isn't working! :cry2:
I've tried the recipe in the link the teacher sent me , which used corn starch and I have tried my old borax recipe to no avail!
Help!!

Re: PLNTS Introduction to Science

There were a few oddities in this course! In one part you have to calculate molarities using the molecular weights, densities etc. It's set up as multiple choice and I was stuck on one particular calculation, it said I was wrong so I googled the answer ( you only get three attempts ) the google answ...

Re: Jury duty

I don't know if it will still be the case this year but I was called up last year. It was very easy to be excused, with Covid doing the rounds. If you felt at all uncomfortable ( due to Covid ) they just asked you to raise your hand and bingo you were excused, didn't have to give a reason at all! As...

Re: PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS

The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous!! There is supposed to be a mid year review and I think an end of year review too, needless to say after the initial PDP is put in there has never been a review....of mine anyway! Also, I can't put down daily things we do, it has to be new things, pointless! ...
