im sorry. the CO2 is very uniform at lower temperatures, but with an increase in temperature, it boils just because there are weak intermolecular forces. as a result, the CO2 molecules break off as a gas

"How was it implied. Shouldn't I take it for granted that when you refer to "the election" you mean the most recent one?" no, because i was referring to the lack of popular support of the republican party. your statement, "just because a party is in power doesn't mean it's corrupt" does not address the issue i had previously brought up. i will make more clear the reasons for my skepticism: it appeared to me that you were supporting the likud party completely, without question. the likud party does not enjoy particularly much support in israel, but great support in the united states. the voters in israel count, but the people in the united states do not. but still, somehow, the likud party remains in power.

there is the international chemistry olympiad, but the regionals have already passed. it's easy to qualify for nationals, but then impossible to go any farther. you take another exam and if you are in the top 20, you go to chem boot camp for a week or two, and if youre in the top 4 there, you represent the us in germany or wherever they are holding it. the thing is, you have no idea how you placed unless you are in the top 20, and unless you have taken BC calc, AP physics and AP chem (which they ask you about) you wont be selected, even if you somehow manage to get a perfect score, which is also almost impossible considering the advanced knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics you need to know

the previous one hardly did. they actually tried, and were successful. there would be no ball to drop, had the previous administration dropped it. i haven't looked into the situation enough. i'll research later and make my decision

but what they might say really has no veritable value, now does it?

pangloss, i generally respect your opinions, but this is one case where i think your posting is not quite necessary. there are defenses stated above that are just nonsense. and im really sorry to say that. your "alternate explanations" don't really explain the true influences behind the decisions that were made. they dont even come close. the administration was afraid, admit it. they had been neglectful, admit it. they had completely stopped looking for terrorists. so of course they opposed having a 9/11 commission. to say they would be "embarassed" is an understatement. had they testified the full truth and been held accountable for their actions, they would have been crucified. and no, they didnt testify, for all intents and purposes. they bsed their way through the entire thing, holding one another's hand, pledging to not say a blasted thing. and the the commission was corrupt enough to let it go. did clinton bring madeline albright with him to testify? no. did he lie? yes, and he also admitted his wrongdoings later. bush and cheney refused to say anything remotely useful, did not say the truth (yes, they did know ____, ____ and ___) and got away with it because they made sure that the people running the commission would not challenge them. oh, and "national security issues"? are you kidding me? that is such a generic modern republican excuse. "well, we can't tell you WHY we're doing this, because if we do, terrorists will burn your house down, rape your wife, enslave your children and kill you, but just remember that we know what's best for you and terrorists wont do all these things to you if you just listen to us and go along with everything we say." this is the sort of thing the republicans of the 1930s RAILED against. now, anything that could be used against bush and cheney wasn't, and hasn't been. the commission knew bush was a negligent loser but they didn't do anything. had the majority of the united states known of his treason, the nation would be in a completely different situation now

yeah, we all do home gold refining...really, more people blow things up. plus, the government isnt going to notice if you purchase toluene at a hardware store

exposing bismuth to any alpha will make 210 astatine. if you know what is good for you, do NOT make this. the gamma will rip straight through you. it's something like 100,000x as radioactive as radium 226. it also has a half-life of something like 4 minutes. again, you dont want to make it.

dont breathe anywhere near it. it shouldnt be particularly dangerous unless you do so. if you breathe it in, it will give you anemia at least, and very well may kill you. i wouldnt suggest any nuclear chem experiments, just because they are a bit sketchy. oh, and if you have any bismuth KEEP IT AWAY FROM THE RADIUM OR ANY ALPHA SOURCES FOR THAT MATTER. Bi206+4/2He+2-->At210 astatine is bloody radioactive like crazy and will kill you if you have it anywhere near you

yes, dimethyl sulfoxide is a sulfur compound: SO(CH3)2

well, we all have. CO3-2 --(H+)-->CO2 thermally, now that's different

eh. if you purchase HNO3, the government will watch you very closely

it would work with ammonium nitrate

dimethyl sulfoxide would make the pants smell pretty bad though

well, it wouldnt be good for the fibers

hey, im clark

well, this has nothing to do with public education. not so many people take college classes before they graduate from high school anyway. anyway, im sure you could do the same, either in australia or abroad

grignard reaction

"Actually, YT, flashpowder and gunpowder are defined as explosives. An explosive is any combination of an oxidizer and a fuel which reacts in rapid succession producing large quantities of heat and gas." well, does atmospheric O2 really count as an oxidizing agent? i thought flash powder was a high explosive. if you load a gun for example, with flash powder, the gun will explode. if you use black powder, the bullet will be pushed outwards

and it's like $200 for 150mL. oh, and it's highly controlled in the us at least

"as I`ve already stated NO THEY ARE NOT explosives!" could you substantiate that?

pyridine

out of curiosity, what organophosphates used to be sold at garden centers?

"not neccesarily. If one of those acids wants to form the ester more than the others, you'll have glycerol which is predominately made from glycerol and the dominant acid" no i mean if you have enough glycerol to react with all the acids "At first, the smell might be nice and not bother you, but the more you're exposed to it the higher the likelyhood that those same 'nice' smells will start to give you headaches and other adverse reactions." my first esterfication reaction went really well; i produced methyl ethanoate, which i still have bottled in my room. at first i was so proud (this was before i made my home lab) that i just basked in the glory of my product and inhaled the odor. headaches ensued "try and synthesise some ATP and then drop it on some muscle fibers. I dont know how to, but if your body can, you can!" not really:\ chemists tend to lack specific enzymes adenosine triphosphate is, for all intents and purposes, impossible for the common lab chemist to produce "but there is an easy to make ester that is actually an attraction pheromone for honey bees" it's banana oil, or isopentyl acetate. last i checked it enraged bees and made them attack you continuously. another word on esters: sarin just happens to be the methyl ethyl ester of methylphosphorofluoridic acid
