What happened

[macemj]

SWIM fucked up his recipe bad and hes pissed. Swim only had 20 ml of gbl. He multiplied by 6 to get to the recipe quantity of 120ml. Thus, SWIM divided the other by 6 and reduced each other ingrediant like wise. Swim was left with numbers of :

10.5gm naoh
27.25ml distilled water total
1ml distilled water added to the 20ml of gbl
26.25 ml dist. water added to the 10.5 g of naoh
add enough boiling water to make it 165ml at the END

Swim didnt have a digital scale so he eye balled 10.5g of NaOh. HMM.., did swim fuck up here? When he added water to the NaOh it fizzled, and, he kept adding. End result milky looking white liquid. Looked perfect.

Then, he put 1 1/2 ml of distilled water in with gbl in sepate pyrex and heated to 100 C. He then slowly added the NaOH. Swim added about 80% of the NaOh and the PH was now at 14! Swim had no more gbl so he decided to try vinegar later. Swin then heated the new solution to 150C and removed heat. Added boiling water once cooled to 165 ml, and what do you know, PH 14! Irreversible! Garbage.

What did I do wrong?
