There were two tasks, one inorganic synthesis and a titration to measure the composition of an already prepared sample of the same complex compound.
I prefer organic synthesis over inorganic, but this was pretty much OK.
I hope I will get a lot of points on this one, just like last year. We will see.
After the exam we ate in the university, and had a tour around it. It is just amazing, we really liked it.
They told that the Chemistry faculty and the Physics faculty argued about the Lomonosov statue in the middle. They discovered that it is 3 m closer to the Chemistry building, but it is oriented 3° to the left, to the Physics building.
After that we went in to see the main building, the tower. They told us that the idea was to put a statue of Lenin, Stalin. It was not decided during the construction. But Stalin died and it became a metal thing with a huge red star, same as the Kreml's stars.
The original idea was to see the geological museum kind of on the top of the tower. That would have been amazing. But sadly due to the holiday the workers go home earlier today. Too bad.
We watched the library on the 21th floor instead. The scenery was amazing though.
After getting home, we went to the arbitration, where we were scheduled to be in the first group of countries to go in. That was great, because so we could go to do anything afterwards free. I looked through my solutions, calculated the points, everything was ok, just one organic figure was not corrected so I got 0.5 points extra. This will likely not make much difference, but there is the feeling that I got some extra.
