btw, nucleophilic substitution is cooler, classier, and better to use (yield-wise) than fischer esterification

no, that would be acetic acid

then you end up with NaCl+Fe2O3+CH3COOH

"Bleach + vinegar(acetic acid) + Iron -> ?" nooooooo the organic is peroxymethanoic acid are you sure it's CH3OOH? im reasonably sure that you end up with Fe2O3, NaCl and CH3OH

"Try using a helium baloon. It does contain some noble gases." namely helium

"Thing is, can this guy provide an inert atmosphere for your method to work?" yes, if he wishes to buy a tank of argon, CO2, helium, or whatev

i thought you were going to bring up atmospheric oxidation, which would occur especially at the temperatures required for thermal decomposition. in an inert atmosphere, however, i really dont think there would be oxidation, but hey, it's my word vs yours. if you want to experiment, go for it

it works with lead tartarate. you end up with nanodust. could you explain how the Al oxide is formed?

absolutely not. i am saying that you should understand where the misinformed opinions of others come from if you are to eliminate ignorance.

"Well okay Bud, if you start from the assumption that we *should* spend more than we take in, and that we *should* be spending far more than we currently are, then yeah, it makes a lot of sense." could you explain how this relates to what i was going at? i was saying that people will believe what makes sense to them, regardless of how true it is. for example, if you say that somebody drove for an hour and went 80 miles and asked an average person how fast this person was going 30 minutes into the trip, they'd probably give the answer "80m/h," which isn't necessarily true at all. but hey, it makes sense, so why use calculus? people believe that there is a certain limit to the amount of money the us can and will spend and that therefore if you increase spending on something, you decrease spending on other things. in a sense, it's true. so you have iraq and new orleans comes up. you need to borrow an extra, say, $100 billion for new orleans. you're taking $100 billion away from iraq, even though you didnt have that money until new orleans happened. and so, if you are spending, say, $500 billion on iraq, you arent spending it on new orleans, and thus are taking from new orleans, even though you theoretically could get more loans, etc. but again, the public isnt necessarily educated and wont necessarily be thoroughly informed

perhaps you could try thermal decomposition of the tartarate salt?

especially if youre referring to elbridge gerry

what's funny is that people will believe that because it makes sense- if you spend money on iraq, you aren't spending said money here in the us. bush usurped the presidency for two consecutive terms because of similar bs

yeah but that was back when the dems were still jackasses

perhaps people like the concept of tom delay illegally financing republican campaigns?

perhaps the staunchly conservative media has decided that it wouldn't look good if a huuuge increase in support would bring bush only up to 45% approval

the glucose molecules dont ionize. they do become cyclic rings (through chemical change) upon addition to water

wow, i am so sorry. that was a pretty bad slip. i meant aromaticity

theoretically you can use calcium also to displace sodium

oh hot. what were they sold as? (brands, names, etc)

hi, im 17

welderman, stop being a jackass. good chemists know that bisulfate is not a substitute for sulfuric acid. good chemists are resourceful and know how to make/obtain chemicals and precursors. if you want sulfuric acid, find a car battery, open it and filter out the lead sulfate. also, you could ask your local hardware store owner to order rooto for you. you could also buy rooto online. you could also order it from any of a number of websites, and yes, many will send it directly to your door, no questions asked. if you need a credit card or someone over 18, ask someone. good chemists are 18+ and/or know someone 18+ years old. and really, abandon the pomposity, child

well we know that (NH4)2Cr2O7 --> Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2 the oxygen of the dichromate attack the hydrogen of the ammonium. so... im pretty sure the green stuff is chromic oxide. perhaps the sulfur attacks the ammonium? perhaps the sulfur is attacked by the oxygen? i really dont know

sulfates are bronsted bases, altho theyre absolutely dreadful bases, hence the high acidity of H2SO4

a simple rule is that for resonance to be achieved, 4n+2 (where n=any integer) electrons must be in a conjugated pi system
