My lab is pretty easy to guess, it's either 18 MΩ water, 100% EtOH, or 16M HNO3. 66% chance it's not acutely dangerous, not bad for a lab!

Sticky, Silky, and Danger Syrup! Sounds like a cool lab.

16M HNO3? Wouldn't that be fuming?

[–] Kroxx@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

It's technically like 15.7M , it's the highest concentration you can get before you hit fuming (~70wt% iirc). Although anything you do with it after makes it fume like crazy anyway.
