A year I think.

When I was a kid I had a newspaper delivery job and a couple of pamphlet ones. The latter was okay, because you could do that on a weekend and the walking was good. The newspaper delivery job I detested. Starting work at 4am (two hours before the sun was up) on Wednesdays and Fridays before school and having to drag my little sister along with me was not my idea of a good time. It all came to a grinding halt when one morning someone tried to coax said sister into their car as we were finishing up for the morning. I saw it just in time to intercept and run with her to an open gas station until they were gone. There were no more newspaper delivery runs after that.

I can't seem to find any vacuum pump by that name. You may wish to start with correcting that, and using Google. There should be a copy online. Otherwise, contact the supplier.

The undergrad labs here have glass benches on one side and chemically resistant laminate benches on the other side. Most labs in my building tend to use some variation of the latter. Fume hoods here are generally tiled.

There are companies that sell custom genes, like Genscript or Biomatik. Have you tried them?

Have you reviewed: https://www.quorumtech.com/__assets__/pdf/Manuals/OM-E6700-Iss1_NEW-ADDRESS.pdf

You can't get it made? I had thought there were companies that did this, though I couldn't tell you which ones.

Other things that are also extremely soluble in water: nitrate salts.

Acting hostile towards people trying to point you in the direction of very simple chemistry is not the way to go here. Any person with a knowledge of fundamental chemistry would well know that salts containing first row metals are fully soluble in water (as a general rule). This is stark contrast with your claim that you would get, 'an eqimolar precipitate of Na2SO4 and K2SO4.' Should also point out that enthalpy is only one factor that determines whether or not a reaction will occur spontaneously. You very much have entropy working against you in your equation.

The pH of your food will not change the pH of your blood. It will change the pH of your urine. I'm not denying that you might observe health benefits, but I am denying that it is related to blood pH. Have you considered that it is just a result of eating more vegetables?

If you can't bother citing your sources, then this thread is a waste of everyone's time.

What I am saying is the mainstream and accepted scientific view. I don't need to prove anything. You are making ridiculous claims with seemingly no science behind them at all, so you are the one who needs to provide citations. Start with this factor of twenty thing.

Because the blood is buffered. Can you offer evidence to suggest it does change pH? You're the one making the claims here, no one else. It's your job to support them. What else could it be? What were you eating before? You cannot say that it's anything to do with pH. Perhaps it's just the general diet change. Perhaps it was just a random thing that fixed itself. Perhaps it's placebo.

And in the trash you go.

! Moderator Note This isn't the place for wild-ass guessing. If you don't have any evidence to support your claims, then this gets closed. Do you have any?

All wrong. And you haven't addressed the issues raised with your earlier posts regarding your bad math.

! Moderator Note I'm not sure I fully understand the whole starting a thread so you can talk to yourself with three different accounts thing, but I do know that sock puppetry is against the forum rules.

! Moderator Note Although your statement is not completely without scientific merit, we do ask that: a.) any claims that are not presently accepted, mainstream sciences, or not genuine questions be posted in the Speculations section, and b.) You provide evidence that supports what you are saying. This is a discussion forum, not a place for unsubstantiated assertions. Thread closed, although you are welcome to reopen in accordance with the above.

As far as employment opportunities in the sciences goes, you sure picked the right major. That being said, 'lucrative' (at least as far as monetary compensation is concerned) is not a word I would ever associate with any research-based career path. A PhD in one thing doesn't lock you into that thing for life by any means. The skills you gain are more often than not widely transferable, particularly if you stick with computer sciences and bioinformatics, as these are both areas for which there is a great need. You will learn what specifically interests you as you go. I would encourage you to seek out undergraduate projects in research labs if you can, as this can be very informative in my experience.

What does esterification have to do with the carbonate buffer found in our blood? My issue with your equation was not with the chemical equation, but with your math. It makes no sense, and is wrong. The "factor" you cite has no meaning. I do strongly recommend you spend some time reading up on fundamental chemistry.

I was responding to you in my initial paragraph. The second paragraph I made it clear I was talking to the OP.

! Moderator Note Absolutely not. Thread closed.

The 15.65 comes about by simplifying the term, (6.022*10^23)*(10^-7.35), which would give 6.022*10^(23-7.35), or 6.022*10^15.65. That part is fine, though it does seem that we're now talking again about the difference between pH 7.35 and pH 7.45. The part following that initial statement of 6*10^15.65-6*10^15.55 (which does not equal 0.03*10^17) makes absolutely no sense, however. OP: Where on earth does this factor of twenty come from? Do you actually know how buffers work? Are you aware that alcohol and hydroxide are not the same thing? Why do you insist that eating acidic food changes the blood pH?
