They actually hold a gallon when filled to the neck. In fact, for our purposes, they might as well be huge volumetric flasks. I can judge to 3.8 liters \u00b1 about 0.5% just by looking at the fill level in the neck. Also, the labels come off without leaving a bunch of adhesive on the bottle. Finally, they&#8217;re polyethylene terephthalate, which is the ideal plastic for most chemical solutions other than strong acids or bases. I&#8217;m running short of gallon containers, so I&#8217;m going to empty one or two of them into 2-liter bottles today so I can use the bigger bottles for chemical solutions. That&#8217;ll also cut down on refrigerator space for Barbara&#8217;s water.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>08:00 &#8211; More science kit stuff today.\n<\/p>\n<p>I knew when we started the science kit business that we would be doing something important, but it&#8217;s becoming increasingly clear to me just how important it is.
