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.
