  1. well in scotland the rain usually falls almost horizontally so your soaked whatever happens
  2. how much water is the acid in? can't work out concentration if we don't have the volume
  3. it could just mean that we have less darkmatter to fuss over
  4. if you used the proper equation for a solution of sulphuric acid it would be 2H+(aq) + SO4-(aq) so it exists as 2 hydrogen ions no diatomic ions afaik
  5. lol i think thats how some people actually think science works
  6. a van de graaf generator is an insulated conductor as well and if i charge one up then turn it off and let is sit for a while it discharges within 2 hours. if i put a fan near it it can discharge in an hour and if the atmosphere is moist then it can discarge in an hour without the fan. it looses charge to the surrounding air and nothing is a perfect insulator
  7. amplitude and displacement are the same thing in these vibrators. just measure it in millimeters.
  8. whoops forgot about neon
  9. for someone with a Bsci you do seem pretty dumb on a level just above a hardcore creationist. your showing all the traits, refusal to answer questions, claims of a conspiracy theory etc. etc.
  10. yay someone else with haemachromatosis! i've never met anyone else with it except my mum.
  11. the spark lasts maybe all of a millisecond so both planes will be equally charged(if there happens to be one for some absurd reason) by the time the fuel starts flowing so it won't be lethal in any way. planes are earthey on the ground because they make fantastic targets for lightning. it is also to prevent possible faulty wiring from electrocuting people and making sparks. on the ground it is earthed for exactly the same reason your toaster is, to prevent YOU getting a shock for faulty wiring. the thing about clods charging planes up is mostly myth. while it is possible for a plane to get a slight electrical charge it is dissipated to colliding air quite rapidly
  12. its pretty deadly stuff wherever its used
  13. actually when its compressed and heats up it can dissipate heat energy at a greater rate through radiation and it will set up convection currents in the surrounding air which will further aid cooling.
  14. pretty much all except helium
  15. if he really needed to know, for a medical condition, he would have been shown by a doctor or nurse and therefore would not need to ask. i can think of a few other reasons why it would be advantageous to know this that are legal but i don't want to tell a druggie how to inject himself.
  16. i can't conceive of anything that could throw it only 2 meters now if you want to get 20meters then i'm sure i could think of something
  17. if you haven't been trained then you shouldn't do it.
  18. even if that is true you still need coherent(to other people) language in order for us to understand and then answer the question.
  19. Aspen is, apparently, THE chemical engineering software and is used in the design of factories and the like. although the license costs something like £30000 so its probably not the best of programs for home use. (it also requires a few beefy processors oodles of RAM an a couple terabytes of harddrive space.) always wanted to use "oodles" in a sentence
  20. vacuum although it is hard to suspend the chamber, in which you want to carry out whatever you want to do in it, without some vibrations leaking in.
  21. a lone pair will act almost like a another bond(its repulsive force is slightly greater) so just think of it as a bond to an imainary atom.
  22. but in a chaotic system a little change can do big things given enough time.
  23. it seems you have a corrupted veiw of spacetime. cos what you just said makes as much sense as "fish 12ety %£$^$%4548648 fghdyihfoi fish 40+2=eleventy"
  24. photons are massless but they have momentum. you are porbably thinking of E=mc^2 but this does not apply to the photon unless it transforms into a matter-antimatter pair
  25. The Blinking, i can't stands it no more!
