39th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) Part 4

18 July 2007
Today is our big day as we will be sitting for our practical examination. As soon as we arrive at the Chemistry Department of MSU, we were given lab numbers and all of us from Malaysia were placed into different labs. I guess it is time for us to split and do our best in the lab. Soon, we were escorted into the labs. Even by seeing the apparatus given, I know we have questions related to column chromatography, spectrophotometry and titration. We were given our questions after that. When I read the questions I found out that it is indeed within what I have thought. The first question is about the former two and the second question is about the latter but both are to analyse samples. After 5 hours of intense lab, we walk around Lenin Hills for some souvenir shopping. Later, we went for a circus nearby. Oh goodness, the circus was amazing. What all of us like the most is the clown who like to use the interjection "waa". After enjoying the circus, we head back to Olympiets.
