Hello everyone! It’s been a while since Ive mad an appearance on here, sorry! I finally got my microscope light working again and started looking at some preprepared slides I had. I have one of the epidermis to an onion bulb as they have pretty large easy to see cells. Upon observing it looked like one cell has two nuclei!? Am I right on this? Is it normal? Why? The first image attached is the normal one with the cell of interest in the center of the circle. The second image has been enhanced to see the two red spots easier. Thanks.

I was messing around with silver bullion to perform the reaction: Hydrogen Sulfide + SIlver = Silver Sulfide + Hydrogen And the smell of the hydrogen sulfide wont come off even after letting air dry from acetic acid rinsing. HALP MEH

How much nitric do i need per ounce of water during electrolysis? Also are there any better electrolytes (preferably not NaOH).

But I suppose I could do the same with gold and indium to make blue gold right?

Lol

Oh jeezus 24 thousand dollars... Can I make one?

Yeah sorry i forgot it is AuAl2, Gold Aluminide. So where do i get a vacuum furnace?

A while ago, I heard of purple gold. It wasnt till an hour ago I found out it wasnt an alloy but the intermetallic compound of Gold Aluminate (AuAl2) But I was wondering.... How can I make this!

Ive heard you can do it with dissolution of oxalic acid crystals in aqueous sodium tetraborate (borax) solution. Not sure if t works or not.

lol

Why is everyone talking about foreign languages?????????

Oh im just an amateur

Yes you actually can. I dont know why this is such a large thread when you CAN make sodium. You can make a NaOH thermite and it will yield sodium in the slag.

If you have a strong torch you can heat it and melt it. It will form a hard, glassy substance. Which is your boric oxide. Then if you crush it, you can mix it with Mg or Al and make a thermite for isolating Boron.

H3BO3+NaHCO3= CO2 - NaBO3 - H2O ?? Did I do that right?

Titanium is stronger and lighter than steel. However it is too light and not dense enough to go through armor. However materials such as hardened steel, tungsten, depleted uranium, tungsten carbide, etc., are used in armor piercing rounds. I believe you were thinking of titanium tank armor, which is very strong and basically impossible to penetrate.

Yes aqua regia (and sodium hydroxide solution) scares the heck out of me. Definately not something im going to try any time soon. Yes I just want a very small sample of gold (for my element collection, maybe). Im not trying to get rich by no means. I think that has actually already happened no additional water needed. I thought if i used aqua regia it could purify the gold (even though it was 24K). I think ill pour out the mixture, and wash with water to get the gold of the bottom. Then ill put it in a glass container and decant the fluid (and keep washing) then boil it to dry the gold. Aqua regia is no chemical to mess around with. And yes, I am truly 11, well ill be 12 on Sunday

Im 11 so since it's Easter tomorrow we were dying eggs. My mom bought this really cheap 24K Easter egg paint that didn't work very well because it didn't stick to the eggs. We weren't disappointed because we already made cool egg designs so it didn't really matter. It did actually have little gold leaf flakes in it (I checked under a microscope). My mom said I could have it for my chemistry experiments. I did some research and it is made of 3 things. 1. Fine 24K gold flakes, 2. water, 3. a water-soluble binder. I thought if i made Aqua Regia with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. I then thought if i could pour the gold containing paint into the Aqua Regia to form Chloroauric Acid, I could use an aqueous solution of sodium metabisulfate and put it in the Chloroauric Acid to precipitate fine gold. Please tell me if this would work, and/or what i could change to make it work.

I actually think you are right. I did more research and it is recycled helium so there is a bit of air/oxygen. my reference is element 2 in the book The Elements by Theodore Gray Thanks. Know I know that the source may not have been correct. so is there a way to separate the helium from impurities in balloons? Or is there another easily accessible "things" that contain helium that I could extract it from? Thanks.

Yeah your right probably extremely dangerous and difficult.

I do accept it. I am going to do this i just need a vacuum chamber. And you dont think an element expert wouldn't know what he was talking about? Many people have died from breathing in balloons filled with pure helium and because of that they added additional oxygen. You drown because water displaces all the air in your lungs and you cant breath. Helium does the same thing so adding additional oxygen will reduce the chance of suffocation.

Well then do you know how i could get it out?

Thanks, I do believe it is mixed with Oxygen because I saw it in a book published on the elements by Theodore Gray. Thank you Klaynos, while i don't have the appropriate lab equipment for that yet i plan on getting some to purify my helium Thanks! I dont have the equipment for that yet but i will get a vacuum pump soon. Im really excited. My channel is- Sor Sor Science07 if your interested (its ok if your not). I am going to do hydrogen from electrolysis, lithium from batteries, etc., I also plan to do interestng things like extracting elemental beryllium from beryllium-copper nonspark alloy wreches.

Why? I just want to know what its soluble in

Thanks! I have a book on the elements by Theodore Gray let me go check it out
