greetings. im 16 and am very enthused with chem, especially orgo. i'll be taking orgo I this summer, so i could probably use a bit of advice. if there is any you can give me, kindly let me know.
also, if you are willing to give me your contact info (AIM, MSN, yahoo, etc) so we could talk about chem, i would be most appreciative.
"NI3 is more unstable, but also less practical, so in many ways safer. :-P"
than ARMSTRONG'S and TCAP??? no way man.
just for clarification, are alkali and the lower alkaline earth metals, thermites, etc taboo?
oh, and what about toxic/carcinogenic chems?
mek isnt dangerous at all... mekp is:\
btw, jdurg, we we cant talk about armstrong's or tcap and they're incredibly unstable, but we can talk about nitrogen trihalides?
sorry, i'm just trying to find consistency
new york is one of the few states that actually have regents exams. the regents are state-specific.
"probably the only place youd make some gold compounds is like inside a volcano or sometin"
or in some nitrosyl chloride...
i thought kennedy figured this one out.
anyway, considering china is absolutely huge and japan has quite a bunch of WWII restrictions still pending, china would "win"
i could have sworn i saw silver below gold on the new york regents tables. i checked the potentials though and recognize the greater activity of silver relative to gold
i was reading my organic book the other day and i came across the haloform reaction, which intrigued me. for those not familiar, it involves the oxidation of a methyl ketone by a hypohalite to a carboxylic acid, liberating chloroform. in short:
R-C(O)CH3+3NaOCl---->R-C(O)CCl3+3NaOH----->R-COO- + Na+ + HCCl3
i was wondering if anyone knew of specific conditions for this reaction to occur under, the expected yield and perhaps some other notes that should be made concerning this reaction.
also, since acetone is a ketone with two methyl groups coming off from the carbonyl group, does anybody not think that one could do the following?
H3C-C(O)CH3+NaOCl---->Na+ -OC(O)O- Na+ + 2HCCl3
(pretty much the same reaction as above but the acetone oxidizing on both sides)
the potassium citrate should be an antiurolithic and an antacid. it's a bit alkaline, so i suggest you make the dibasic salt.
why waste potassium though? if you want, i'll make some K citrate for you and trade it for K(s)
