Today in English class my teacher assingnde us to go on the DMHO website. At first I did not know what to expect. Mostly because I had no idea what DMHO was. When I fInally reached the website I started to understand what it was. Now read on to see what I mean.
DMHO stands for Dihydrogen Monoxide. It is a colorless and odorless chemical compound. This information has come from - http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html#CONCERN Some examples of DMHO are, Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or Hydric acid. I think I have got you locked in on my writing so let me tell you about what I thought when I was finished reading about DMHO. This chemical needs to be BANNED, it is a toxin and can kill you if you breath in too much of it. My thoughts all changed when my teacher started a discussion with the class.
We got duked. Sure this is a deadly chemical but there is one thing that the website did not point out. DMHO, is .... WATER. Yes, this chemical is basically water. Now you can't ban water can you? No, you cannot it is our source of life. So from hearing this I thought we cannot possibly get rid of DMHO, even though I think we should. What we can do is study more about it and what kind of damages the chemical can actually cause. Who knows maybe the website was totally wrong about it.
This expedience has taught me two thing. Number one I need to study science more. Reason being I would have never guessed that this toxic chemical was also water. The second thing I learned was that when I research something I should look into it more. Who knows I can learn something new that I never knew was true.
