also, i would like to add that when mixed with H2O, alkali metals tend to form oxides rather than hydroxides. H2 tends to be released

since i cannot obtain those, i'll be doing it in a nonpolar liquid like an oil. by the way, thank you for your support.

as a nice compromise, one would still be required to serve the normal amount of time. it's not like we would force them to "change". rather, we should implure them to become better people.

personally, i believe that the justice system should make it their goal to rehabilitate criminals rather than punish them.

perhaps, but what do you suppose happened after the taliban came into power? yeah, that money went to bin laden

how much CaCO3 is in sea shells? when dissolved they should become basic, no?

that's actually disturbing

sorry to dig up an old topic, but i recently found that all alkali metals form negative ions in NH3 solutions

abc is not a valid source?

ah, but the us was too obsessed with beating the soviets. they funded bin laden's movement. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/binladen_profile.html

it is true. since this isn't my argument i won't find sources, but i know they exist. i also know that it is common knowledge that this happened. also, i would like to add that the united states funded osama bin laden in the 1980s. he got about $3 billion from us. in 2001 we gave him $245 million

15 and 5/6 years occupation: student/chemist

no, not necessarily

i decided that since my personal lab is severely underfunded i may as well use it to produce some kind of income. first, i wish to electroplate silver onto various items. of course, AgNO3 and AgClO4 are two of the very few Ag salts are reasonably soluble at any reasonable temperature. AgNO3 would be a beast to try to make AgClO4 would as well, but i have an idea; tell me if you think this is possible and/or sane mix clorox with ammonia, recover gas evolved. burn the gas. problem is attempting to add the Ag. if i bubble it into a solution i'll get plenty of HClO4... beyond electroplating, there is electrolysis. hey, it's cheap, no? anybody know of the most efficient way to recover metals from electrolysis? anybody know how long it should take? should i use a car battery in a 500mL beaker of solution?

nope, 'tisn't necessarily it acts like an acid. yes, i wish to fight thermodynamics...unfortunately, i found that an automobile produces an incredible amount of gases. that ruins my entire idea

sorry to say this, but you're WRONG. first, i asked a retired chemist i know. he agreed with me. i can back that statement up because if you look at the standard reduction potentials of alkali metals you will notice that Li is harder to reduce than K. that's how he explained it. also, check the effective nuclear charges.

so incredibly false. think armenian genocide. think aztec genocide. think of the chinese! seriously. tens of millions of chinese have been killed at the hands of japanese imperials over the years. note: this started hundreds of years ago. the japanese were so sore about noryang point. sheesh

democracy does not justify state terrorism

i know that CO2 is almost completely insoluble in H2O. i also know that only 1% of that CO2(aq) is H2CO3. can anybody here tell me a solvent that CO2 would be more soluble in that would also produce a great amount of H2CO3(aq)? i think most acids would work but i'm trying to find a better way than using acids; i am working on a research project and the next step i've decided would involve neutralizing the H2CO3(aq). of course, this wouldn't be efficient if there were a strong acid solution to neutralize. if you could help, i would be most grateful

mhm, but theyre loswer than normal. much more so than ever before.

yeah, after so many countries banned it due to random explosions in factories and in shipping (mostly due to neglegence considering one fool greased the axles of his cart with NG) nobel tried to figure out a way to make NG more stable but still just as explosive. he found that kieselguhr and ng formed a plastic putty-like substance. that is dynamite. NO is nitric oxide. N2O is nitrous oxide. N2O2 isn't at all stable, but i suppose it can exist since O does have the oxidation state of -2 and N can also have a +2. however, it is not likely that you'll ever see or hear of N2O2.

bah ive been avoiding this because it's late and i dont want to look around but fine: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0107-09.htm http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/27c/100.html http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/03/11/ana03308.html http://www.unknownnews.net/031112a-nt.html

apparently you missed my point. hussein killed 5,000 kurds in 1995. i believed he killed more. i do not believe he killed hundreds of thousands. meanwhile, the un estimates that between the two gulf wars that 500,000 iraqi CHILDREN ALONE (so i suppose that would put the total count in the millions) died as a result of coalition bombings and economic sanctions. they also estimated that iraqi civilian casualties from the second war would be upwards of 500,000. right, that really is worth it.

mmm, killing them all really is giving them freedom

ascanio sobrero discovered this the hard way. you'd think that chemists from the middle ages would have the presence of mind NOT to taste the chemicals they produced; especially if the chemicals were previously unknown to man
