Today in class we repeated the process of purifying the liquid. First we put on all of our safety lab equipment such as goggles, a lab apron, and gloves. We used flask, buckets, and vegetable oil today. We where going to boil the liquid in the water ,but that would cut off all the power to the room because the hotplates would use to much energy. After we where all done purifying the oil a student tried to pull off the pump pipe and vegetable oil splatted all over him. After we where done purifying the oil we left  a huge mess. We had to clean up the mess by using downy soap. It is very efficient and easy to use to get out vegetable oil and to clean surfaces.
