The following has as much relevance to chemistry as the actions currently carried out about climate change by the UK government:-

 

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a Washington State University (in USA) chemistry mid-term exam paper. The "answer" by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet:-

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Student's answer:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of those religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions, and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell, because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives 2 possibilities:

 

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So, which is it? If we accept the postulate, given to me by Teresa during my Freshman Year, that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct....... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being; which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God".

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".

 

We must congratulate the UK government for either leaving us with the same winters as Canada when the Gulf Stream stops flowing or having large areas of the country flooded by the increase in the sea level from the ice on the North and South Poles melting, by 2026; especially since Britain will require 1,300 new airliners over the next 20 years to cater for the growth of passengers from Britain of 229 million in 2005 to 500 million by 2021 (according to The Times on 23rd November 2006).

 

Environmental cost of this increase is:-

• At present, the average fuel consumption per passenger of an aircraft is 5 litres per 100 kilometres.
• A mature beech (Fagus sylvatica) tree produces the same amount of oxygen for this consumption per 100 kilometres .
• Assuming that the average flight distance per passenger of an aircraft is 500 kilometres, then for the increase of 229 million to 500 million passengers by 2021, we will need 1,355 million extra mature beech trees.
• Assuming that beech trees with a mature height of 25 metres and width of 15 would be planted 25 metres apart, then 4,144 trees could be planted per square mile.
• This means that we would only require 326,979 square miles of trees or an area of 572 miles by 572 miles.

 

Unfortunately, Britain is not big enough!!
