Biodiesel lab

     We made our own biodiesel in lab today. We did this by taking dirty oil from a fast food restaurant and mixing it with a base solution. We let the solution sit overnight and let the contents separate into the two distinct layers seen below. We then took a micropipette and slowly placed our biodiesel into a separate cup which is seen in the third picture.
