Coming home after my walk I felt completely rejuvenated and ready to get back to work. So, I went up to my room also know as my lab and got lost in my work. I started my mixing random metals with strong acids, and then I discovered the element hydrogen. But, before I mixed the substance I built an apparatus, and this one I did build myself. This apparatus is what helped me make the hydrogen and collect it. (A picture of the apparatus is located on the right hand side of the post) I put the hydrogen aside and started to study it. I decided that I would mix the hydrogen with oxygen (from atmospheric air). Remember my question from yesterday, I am trying to find the answer. I mixed the two samples in quantities, of two to one. The two reacted! I decided to call in “Inflammable Air”. Just like that I formed water. I was completely in shock, how could I, Henry Cavendish form water. I was on a role, and just could not stop. The water I had created was to parts hydrogen and on part oxygen, it will later be known as H20. I truly do think of myself as the greatest Chemist of my time!
