Two of the chemistry students
had an eyployion in the labratory
Monday morning while they were ’
making oxygen,
They were using manganese diox-
ide and potassium chlorate to per-
form the experiment. The mixture
melted, ran back into the tube, and
hardened, allowing no space for the
oxygen to escape and causing an
explosion.

plosion while making oxygen be-
cause there are many things that
will cause it.—L.G.
