both imply the same thing. it's like drawing organic compounds the notation C-C-C implies propane. the notation H H H H-C-C-C-H H H H also implies propane. both are accurate. both mean exactly the same thing.

actually it does; ever heard of equilibrium? it is a dynamic state where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate and thus gives the impression that nothing is happening.

are you trying to justify the iraq war?

no way; israel should not kill arafat. need i repeat che guevara's last words? i will anyway: "i know you have come to kill me. shoot, coward; you are only going to kill a man.'' if israel kills arafat they will compel the palestinians to rise up in much greater force. both arafat and sharon are, essentially, extremist fools. arafat is more of a figurehead than a leader; he actually holds little political power but israel likes to blame him for their problems. personally, i think the united states should cut funding of israel and eliminate weapons sales to israel. it is the united states who provided the weapons that destroyed palestinian banks and utterly raped the palestinian economy 3 years ago. it is the united states who lead to the starvation and deaths of so many families. it is the united states, who, through syllogism, is recruiting hamas militants. how? simple cycle; palestinian home is blown up. family goes "wtf??? god damn we're poor, starving and homeless." hamas militant approaches, says "g'day. if the patriarch of this family joins us, we'll feed your family, provide shelter and educate your children in an extremely biased manner so they will fight for us willingly later in life. savvy chaps?" and so the father runs off and perhaps dies but hey, his family lives. the united states could stop this if they would just stop israel from blowing up all the palestinians' homes. they could give money to the palestinians. too bad they dont.

sorry to nitpick but i must. not all homogeneous mixtures are solutions. an example is iced tea; it looks the same throughout but it is not a solution because the compounds in the mixture are not dissolved as ions.

it does react (exothermically) with H2O; the NaCl breaks its bond, and forms Na+ and Cl-

definately any isotope of lawrencium. eat that and you're dead before you know what happened. depends on how the death works tho. ie, do you need to be exposed to it? injected? do you need to consume it?

when you react Na with H2O, you oxidize the Na and reduce the H+ and form Na2O and H2. yeah, the H is kinda positive in H2O since the O hoardes the electrons. anyway, energy invested in the H-O bonds is released. that is where you get the energy from.

that is true. the Cl- tend to drift towards the H in H2O. the Na tend to drift towards the other side of the H2O; the O.

good call, dave

tetrahydrocannabinol is extremely insoluble in H2O: only 0.28 g/100 mL at 23 C C21H30O2. it is an ether, an alcohol and has a cyclohexane group. http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/ChemIndex/ChemIndex/ChemIndex_action.asp?formgroup=base_form_group&dbname=ChemIndex&dataaction=Get_structure&Table=MolTable&Field=MOL_ID&DisplayType=sizedgif&width=225&height=200&StrucID=2153 ^structural image it's interesting. anybody know the exact reactions THC has? EDIT: SW00T I AM AN ATOM!

oh well, at least you did it correctly

oh, i get it. yt, you were reading the first post and realized how much of a fool i was the first time around. read my other posts for a more updated experiment

not technically correct. rewrite as Ba(OH)2 --> Ba2+ + 2OH-

no, i mean there's a severe lack of e- from the H+ H+ is just a floating proton. it would need to be H- to form a coordinate covalent bond

oh boy, caramel! no H2O? i mentioned an acid which implies it is aqueous. it was a wet experiment, that is certain. where is the sucrose in the first place? also, i didn't let it go above 100 celcius according to my thermometer; rather i got it to a steady 98 but it boiled anyway. i know there is sodium citrate in there; when i filtered it, i found a white powder suspension...call that sucrose if you wish, i still dont know where you got that. either way, it must've been produced because NaHCO3 definately reacts with C3H8O7 to form Na3C3H5O7.

the pH is 7, which is good. i cooled it but nothing came out of solution. now i'm filtering it to get rid of any pulp. yeah, i'm cool; i get my C3H8O7 from lemons:\ i can see some crystals in the mixture but they're few and far between and they aren't settling nicely. i'll check tomorrow morning; hopefully the filtration will be done and the crystals will settle.

bah, that is inaccurate. i did the math and i have 375kb/s wrong. i had a 1.5mb rate at one time.

i couldnt wait to try again, so i did. funny thing is that both times i noticed a slight smell of cinnamon... i didn't make an ester, did i?

C3H8O7 and NaHCO3 as for tlc, i dont have the resources for that. but do you think the above procedure would work?

bah. a tlc? i'm not familiar. also, do you think that the same process would work if i heated H2O to 90 degrees celcius, added as much of both reactants as possible, check the pH, make sure it's approx 7 and then heat to boil off the H2O? the catch is that i won't wait for all the H2O to boil off; rather i will take out some of the H2O and cool it. this way i won't get nearly as much product but hey, at least it won't be burnt. sound good?

this just in: i froze it and it still was the same black throughout. it really does look like a solution. think i could have corroded some of the pot while boiling off the H2O?

good call; there were no transition metals used. although i did use a metal pot to boil off the H2O. i just put the bottle in my freezer a min ago and i will be keeping it chilled. i'll keep all ye posted

yes......different products are yielded......organic reactions are slow usually and generally require a catalyst such as conc 18 molar H2SO4. you had me confused before. the term "precipitate" is used when you're speaking of reactants that are aqueous and you have a product that is an insoluble (at that temp) solid.

right......ok, i think i'll make a note to myself not to drink solutions of am241. ok????????
