  1. Radical? It's an ion isn't it? Anyways your right the Cl- isn't as active and that's why it would convert it back. The sugar salt can be thought of as the conjugate base of the sugar (which can thought of as an acid because of the alcohol groups). This base isn't as strong a base as NaOH and that's what drives the reaction. It's just another acid base reaction when you add HCl. Glucose (barley acidic) and table salt (neutral) are far more stable then HCl (strong acidic) and a Sodium sugar salt (strong base). The -OH has far more covalent covalent character and is a stronger bond than -ONa. Also NaCl is more ionic and a stonger bond than HCl. Correct me if i'm wrong, nursing a serious hangover today. No you don't necessarily want to nutralize the acid in your stomac, and I was in no way suggesting you should. However sometimes you do. Though I don't see why someone would want to take antacids that contain calories that you can't taste.
  2. Maybe it's not very usefull but I'm pretty sure it can be metabolised. Wouldn't contact with HCl in the stomac convert it too table salt and glucose/fructose then allowing it be metabolised? Also I don't think you'd get sodium sucrate, you would most likely get sodium fructate and sodium glucate (correct me if my nomenclature is wrong, really my worst area in chemistry). The linkage would would probably be broken.
  3. After it becomes thick does the whole solution crystalise or do you mean you get a crystal percipitate with water? The sodium in the NaOH needs a counter ion. I'm pretty sure that the NaOH will initially break the glycosidic bond giving Glucose + a Sodium fructose salt. After that I'm not too sure. Maybe you'll get glucose sodium salts forming if the NaOH is strong enough to deprotonate the alcohol groups. You might get your observations from this depending on solubility, however this will also create a lot of water... Maybe these can hydrate highly? Check if you can dissolve your product with more water. I don't like the idea of forming a polymer because -OH groups are so bad leaving, In the presence of a strong acid for sure, but not in a base and you'd have to loose them to make a polymer. You do have aldehydes keytones and NaOH so maybe an adol condensation? But I don' t think that would happen with all the alcohol groups present.
  4. Your best chance would be to collect as much material as possible do some shotgun sequencing it. But it would be very doubtful that you could find enough material long enough to do this as well as a few copies of it that would be required. Maybe also do a comparisson with a bird, but I doubt this would be anywhere near to as fruitfull as may be imagined. And yes you can synthesis dna
  5. This looks really cool.
  6. I wouldn't. It really wouldn't be the same dog. It sounds like a big scam playing on people emotions. An interesting fact I just remembered. There have been no dogs cloned yet. For some reason dogs seem extreemly hard to clone. Much harder then humans, aparently we're not all that hard. (Going off the reproductive cloning we've done so far of course) Or at least that's what my embryology proffs told me last november.
  7. It's not really possible since there is no intact DNA. Even the preserved soft tissue contains degraded DNA.
  8. For some reason that sounds very correct.
  9. Level 7 apprentice in a few minutes. Now I'm stuck.
  10. Right which could replace drugs in some cases. Introduce disease resistant stem cells along side vulnerable ones so they may take over. Might not even need to fight the diseases in this case. But I definatley don't think that they'll replace drugs. They will merley find their place as a usefull tool along side other therapies. Maybe in some areas they will prodominate as the treatment of choice, but in other they will probably prove less usefull/practicle.
  11. Well seeing as how ribosomes contain RNA, RNA came first.
  12. I'm pretty sure that phenyl is used only for benzene rings substituted at only one postition. I don't think it applies to fused heterocyclic compounds. Aromatic ring or benzene ring would be more accurate.
  13. They definatley can be applied to other structures. However there is no carboxyl group present here. Carboxyl is COOH, carbonyl is CO. I also forgot to mention the two benzene rings, they count as function groups. The correct answer would be "amino", "carbonyl", "double bond", as well as the "benzene" ring functional groups. Eventhough the benzenes are so highly deactivated in this molecule you might not be expected them to be mentioned, they are still functional groups. *Sorry for the double post*
  14. You may be expected to include the double bond between the two five membered rings as a functional group as well. "Alkene"
  15. It has nothing to do with it being easy or not. It's just not a way that you can generate power. You're talking about using electricity to seperate water so you can then combine the products to generate electricity in process. And what do you get when you combine hydrogen and oxygen? WATER. And somehow energry is supposed to magically just spit out of the process. So if you had 100% efficiency you be generating 0 power, and that's the best case senario. Really think about this logically. Power isn't just made. It comes from somewhere. So if it's coming from creating a chemical bond between Oxygen and Hydrogen wouldn't you think that an equal amount is used up in breaking this same bond? I'm sorry if I sound a bit cynical but this is the 3rd time this sillyness has been asked in these forums to my knowledge and I've only been posting here a month. So really if you had taken half a second to do a search here or even on google you would have found out why this doesn't work.
  16. This is an American thing I gather? Some sort of high school exit test or the like? Uhhh ignore that I didn't see you're link. Gotta stop drinking after work lol.
  17. Yeah it really depends on who you ask...
  18. What does the AP stand for?
  19. uhhh
  20. Yeah I'd say octipuses, or chimps are the place to start. Could make a sciborg venus flytrap and put an AI in it.
  21. Yeah, I'll confirm that they have these hair that you have to touch. Hmmm super human freeks, You'd need alot of money to do that without anyone finding out. Also first you should work on making something with a brain smarter.
  22. Use you're next door neighbours wireless connection.
