=== It's getting hot in here ===
Since we don't have a machine to heat our chemicals, we have to do it by hand. To avoid [[Guide_to_chemistry#Meth_Explosion|meth explosions]] we should know how it works:
* Heating is independet of the chemical and its quantity (1u carbon heats up as fast as 100u water)
* Beware, that chemicals within the ChemMaster will act like any container and keep/exchange their temperature.
* Temperature-capacity is independent of the chemical and distributed evenly by mass:
** 1u Aluminium ('''300K''') + 1u Aluminium ('''1500K''') = 2u Aluminium ('''900K''')
** 2u Aluminium ('''900K''') + 1u Aluminium ('''300K''') = 3u Aluminium ('''700K''')
** 6u Aluminium('''500K''') + 3u Carbon ('''300K''') = 6u Aluminium('''433K''') + 3u Carbon ('''433K''')
* Chemicals don't adjust their temperature (aka 'cool') over time.
* Products of chemical reactions (including the [[Guide_to_drinks|bartender's drinks]]) keep their reagents temperature. Except the reaction is endothermic / exothermic
You can heat chemicals beyond '''1000K''' by manually heating them with lighters / zippos / welding tools, though the heating process is not linear (though each use adds 1K at least).
