Subject: Re: safety and nomenclature
A graduate student made several unsuccessful attempts to perform a
bromination reaction. Finally his professor took a closer look and discovered that he
was attempting to do it using the vermiculite that was above the bottle in the
metal shipping can which was labeled "bromine."
