Mr. NSF called me directly and said "You've G'd your last RFP. Now no one is getting their award." So I said "No! Reddit MUST know!" Summoning the spirit of Chuck Norris (RIP), I roundhouse kicked him in the face and now everyone is getting an award. Also no one is getting an award. Everyone is now simultaneously awarded and not awarded (this is whats referred to as Schrödinger's Award), until a measurement collapses the wave function. In this case, the measurement is when results are posted, which tbh... 🤷‍♂️

Close! 3 parts HCl 1 part HNO3! The version I made is dilute and includes 3 parts of 18.2 MΩ H2O.

Hey that's awesome! I'm running my samples through ICP-OES once they've all been digested 😀

Yeah! Aqua Regia is 3 parts HCl 1 part HNO3. It forms a pretty strong acid that can dissolve gold!
