A World Record

Today we had the once in a lifetime opportunity to witness a miracle of science. At Mount Hood Community College we got to see the eruption of the Guinness Book of World Records largest vinegar and baking soda volcano. It was something. The structure was about two stories high (about 20 feet), and contained a mixture of 60 gallons of vinegar and 120 pounds of baking soda along with food coloring and glycerin. John's organic chemistry lab partner was the guy kind of orchestrating the event. KATU and KPTV were also there to capture this historic event. The boys thought it was pretty cool!
