Evaporation Memes

The eternal struggle of lab equipment haves vs. have-nots! One scientist flexing with their fancy temperature-controlled hot plate while the other is stuck with the ancient model that barely heats water. Nothing says "funding disparity" quite like watching your solution refuse to exceed 50°C while your colleague precisely evaporates theirs at the exact temperature needed. The lab equipment hierarchy is REAL, folks! That smug "we are not the same" energy is what happens when someone gets that sweet, sweet grant money while you're still using equipment from the Jurassic era. 🔥🧪

Every organic chemistry student knows the pain! Diethyl ether (C 4 H 10 O) has such a ridiculously low boiling point (34.6°C) that it practically teleports from liquid to gas before you can even blink. You pour it and *poof* – it's already halfway to the ceiling while you're still holding the empty beaker wondering where your solvent went. It's basically the ninja of laboratory chemicals – here one second, gone the next. Chemistry professors should just save time and tell students to pour it directly into the air.
