Me at my job right now. Apparently titrations and loss on ignition is some of the hardest shit to ever do in science

Titration is hard, I agree. But blowing glass with a custom glass composition is way harder imo

The thing is these are established methods with clear instructions but I can't get the right numbers for whatever reason it's really making me question if I'm even a chemist. Blowing glass, now that sounds pretty fucking hard actually
