The invisible man vs Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

The invisible man is a novella by H.G Wells. The story features a mysterious man called Griffin who arrives in West Sussex.  Who demands to be left alone and spends most of his time in his rooms working with a set of chemicals and laboratory apparatus, only going out at night. The townspeople think he is strange.
Meanwhile, a burglary occurs in the village. Griffin is running out of money and is trying to find a way to pay for his board and lodging.When his landlady demands that he pay his bill and quit the premises, he reveals part of his invisibility to her.
Griffin coerces a tramp, Thomas Marvel, into becoming his assistant.he returns to the village to recover three notebooks that contain records of his experiments.When Marvel attempts to betray the Invisible Man to the police, Griffin chases him to the seaside town of Port Burdock, threatening to kill him. Marvel escapes to a local inn and is saved by the people at the inn, but Griffin escapes. Marvel later goes to the police and tells them of this "invisible man," then requests to be locked up in a high-security jail.
Griffin's furious attempt to avenge his betrayal leads to his being shot. He takes shelter in a nearby house that turns out to belong to Dr Kemp, a former acquaintance from medical school. To Kemp, he reveals his true identity: the Invisible Man is Griffin, a former medical student who left medicine to devote himself to optics.
Griffin tells Kemp of the story of how he became invisible.Griffin burned down the boarding house he was staying in, along with all the equipment he used to turn invisible, to cover his tracks; but he soon realised that he was ill-equipped to survive in the open.Kemp has already denounced Griffin to the local authorities and is waiting for help to arrive as he listens to this wild proposal.
Griffin uses Kemp's gun to shoot and injure a local policeman who comes to Kemp's aid. Griffin is seized, assaulted, and killed by a mob. The Invisible Man's naked, battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin's notes but is completely incapable of understanding them.

Acids and Bases Reaction

HOW TO MAKE SALTS USING METALS< INSOLUBLE BASES OR INSOLUBLE CARBONATES .

Aim- to produce copper sulfate salts by reacting copper oxide with an acid.

Equipment-
Copper oxide powder
dilute(1.0mol) sulfuric acid
50ml measuring cylinder
two 100ml beakers,
Bunsen burner
tripod
gauze mat
funnel
filter paper
thermometer
spatula
evaporating basin
stirring rod

Method -
1.add 20ml of sulfuric acid to a 100ml beaker. heat the acid until it reaches 70°C. turn off your bunsen burner. no not boil your acid.

2.once heated, use a spatula to add pea sized portions off copper oxide to the beaker, stir the mixture for 30 sec.

3.repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. allow the beaker to cool.

4.fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5.make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. the contents should still be hot. you may need your teacher to complete this step.

6.gently swirl the content of the beaker mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel.allow to filter through.

7.rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-6oml  of water.

8.Place the evaporating basin on top of this beaker and carefully pour some of the solutions from the other beaker into the evaporating basin.

9.gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10.leave the evaporating basin to cool once cool move the vaporising basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (eg windows) and observe of the next the few days.
