I’ve done a reaction with 40 wt. % dimethylamine solution in H2O. The bad thing was that it only started when the solution was at 90 °C and it was slightly exothermic, so after it started, it was at 100 °C in no time.
The gas bubbler at the top of the reflux condenser indicated that a LOT dimethylamine gas escaped from the reaction as seen on the gif. The coloration of the liquid in the bubbler was caused by an indicator to see, that dimethylamine is going away or something else is happening.
Sorry, Spidey. Any real-life Spider-Man would have to have size 114 shoes (sticky ones) or have 40% of his body covered in sticky pads in order to climb walls.
You are born with it open
Joyous and free.
You don't even know how to close it.
The instinct to let everything inside
As natural as breathing.
So wide open are the passages of your heart
That you can find no distinction
Between yourself and the rest of the world.
Open your heart, you hear,
And you do, gladly. Easily.
Uncomprehending
Of the enormity
Of what this platitude asks of you.
You feel that perhaps
Everything might live in your heart.
That would certainly explain the warmth you feel
As each one settles just beneath your ribs,
Nestling into the threads
You wove from your love.
♥
Inevitably,
A hole rips through your chest
As one of them tears itself from you,
Rending your tapestry to shreds.
And you are left holding your
Stuttering,
Gasping,
Bleeding heart
In your hand.
You did not know.
You did not understand.
Your fingers trace the outline of your wound
As you think of all of the others you have invited in
And imagine what shapes they might make,
When they leave you.
Your heart continues to pump,
Its contents dribbling through your fingers.
It can only try to keep beating;
It does not know how to do anything else.
Numbly,
You pull your heart close
And begin to stitch it closed.
♥
When it has healed
And sensation has returned,
You can feel fluttering against the outside of your heart,
Searching in vain for an entrance.
You feel safe.
Your heart cannot be torn open
From the outside.
At first they do not tempt you,
The flutterings,
The echo of pain still resonating in your hollow chest.
But though you do not want to admit it,
Your heart still beats
And remembers
And wants.
A flutter lingers,
Becomes a gentle caress.
It is so bright and warm and full of wonder.
Your heart aches.
Inevitably,
You surrender.
You reach back into your ribcage,
Pull out your heart,
And tear open the stitches
To let the warmth in.
It hurts
To leave it open.
It throbs with each beat,
Seeping through the hole in your chest.
But, you feel that perhaps
It might hurt less now,
When they leave you.
♥
Your heart stays open
And warm.
You begin to feel the tug
Of your broken threads reattaching.
The outline of your wound is not so raw as it once was.
The edges have grown stronger with use.
Inevitably,
Each one leaves.
But you have left the way open,
And though the snap of every thread is keenly felt,
It stays open, still.
