User:Chemicalinterest/Chemistry lab

Chemicalinterest had a lab in his home that he uses to conduct chemical experiments. Now chemistry activities are suspended indefinitely as a result of an unfortunate accident involving chlorine gas. The chemicals are still there, although stagnant. Here is some data about it.
