  1. except iodine. you may want to make some iodine. it's fun. bromine is a bit scary though, so i don't suggest you make it, only because it's somewhat difficult to contain and very volatile. i find it to be significantly more dangerous than chlorine.
  2. armstrong's mixture is rediculously sensitive. match heads have no red phosphorus or potassium chlorate. they have the much more stable potassium perchlorate. "The term Azane is only listed under "two or more nitrogen atoms", but still ammonia fits the req's." ammonia has one nitrogen atom. it is not azane.
  3. ah i see. i've heard peolpe call it ammonium triiodide, but none of those others. it just doesnt make sense. the idea of "azane" is scary. if ammonia=azane, then amine will become azine and amide will be azide. in 20 years somebody will find some old azides and start working with them and get blown up, thinking they were "azides" (really amides).
  4. mmm, nitromethane. you can get that in denmark?
  5. yeah, i would use Ca(OCl)2 as well because KMnO4 is significantly more expensive and it doesnt have Cl+. sounds like fun, that chlorine apparatus. i should make another sometime, as i have a few experiments to do with Cl2.
  6. high temperature reduction of sodium salts with fine magnesium or aluminum powder works, but you can't do it, i promise. electrolysis isnt all that hard. really. just put a blowtorch to some NaOH, hook up a car battery and start catching the molten balls of sodium. if you want a more pure product (less oxidation), do it under argon. you can put together a reaction vessel that will remove the gaseous products and still keep argon over the reactant.
  7. well the soldiers wouldnt have shot at her if she were
  8. "Curious opinion you have there. Perhaps you'd like to start another thread to discuss it in?" would you like me to post it as a debate challenge?
  9. "The Berlin war coming down had nothing to do with the USA being respected or liked. It had to do with the puppet regime in East Germany having its support cut off from Moscow as the USSR collasped." if the us weren't respected, war would have ensued. "You're talking about the Reagan administration here. The administration that racheted up the arms race, confronted communism in an agressive manner, brought cruise missiles to Europe against strong opposition. The administration that bombed Libya and increased military aid to Israel." i was actually referring to kennedy's peace corps. "I certainly look forward to the day the US administration actually does something you do approve of. Careful you don't die of shock " i approved of some military action in afghanistan. i did not approve of the way in which it was handled; the us neglected saudi arabia, then trusted warlords to capture bin laden and allowed the afghan economy to become 40-60% poppy farming and in response decided to spray the poppy farms (and farm workers) with carcinogens. i think that if the noaa knew of the tsunami, they had the moral obligation as humans to warn the sri lankans
  10. thanks for your support, time traveler. that's always been my view; the most patriotic thing to do is criticize your government. if atinymonkey were correct in his statements that the noaa was funded by sri lanka with the purpose of warning nations about tsunamis, then they have a case, and quite a strong one at that. otherwise, they probably lack a strong case. "In any discussion involving America budullewraagh consistently sides with the view that America is in the wrong" perhaps you should bring up a topic involving the government doing something right. seriously. think of the topics we've had. iraq. privitization of social security. terrorism. north korea. corruption. the election. these are all very partisan topics. whether you agree with my opinions or not, i am completely sure you can understand the position i have on these topics. it simply makes sense that people oppose these actions, whether you agree with them or not; unless you have some action (mostly) foolproof, there will be, to a degree, dissent. i am critical of my government. i consider the negative perspective because, frankly, i can't just trust those in power. if my perspective is proven to be unfound, i abandon it. "However, when Budullewraagh posted that America 'had it coming' over the Tsunami lawsuit, that seemed so unreasonable it could only be explained by a dislike of America, there are no reasonable or logical grounds for holding America responsible here." consider the us 16 or so years ago. the berlin wall came down and not a shot was fired. why? the us was respected by the world. people liked us. we gave humanitarian aid to people and all. we were true peacekeepers. remember the peace corps that kennedy founded? probably the best way to fight terrorism. if they can't convince peopel to truly join them and they can't instill a true hatred, they are nothing. but now we've pissed everyone off, so they hate us and naturally, with hatred (or at least dislike) comes the will to screw the other guy over. thus, we have our karma. from what you said in those last two paragraphs, i believe you misinterpreted me.
  11. no, what im saying is that since we give the world so much bs, it was coming to us to get some back. yeah, i find the accusations to be without significant reason or evidence. yeah, i also think that it's karma
  12. meh, we had it coming i guess. btw, my father was going over his taxes today. a little over 4 years ago he was making $16k/year on social security, with no payments against it. last year he paid $900 against his $16k. this year he's paying $5k against it. maybe we'll get out of this by using poor old peoples' money.
  13. dont forget the crystals you can make from bismuth. thats why it's my favourite
  14. oh good call. wow, i cant believe i forgot that. yeah, so pretty much you have tooth enamel.
  15. the more hydronium cations that are displaced, the more difficult the others are to displace
  16. "Nitrogen triiodide <=> Trinitrogen iodide, DUHHH!!! (slaps forehead)." no. that would mean NI3 <=> N3I, which just isn't true that's a shame that ammonia will soon be renamed azane
  17. "Where might one aqquire kno3?" *points to search button*
  18. Ca(OH)2+H3PO4-->Ca3(PO4)2+H2O with excess of Ca(OH)2
  19. sodium tetrafluoride? sounds like it doesnt exist:\
  20. yeah, lots of binder. almost no KClO3/RP
  21. crystals, which would sublime. this works at room temp... i suggest KMnO4+HCl to produce Cl2. another effective method would be to use NaOCl/Ca(OCl)2 (fractionally crystallized from bleach) and HCl
  22. well, you can do a few things. petroleum ether works as a good solvent and you can remove iodine crystals. you will also have some potassium iodide, which you can acidify with H2SO4 (MAKE SURE IT IS NO MORE THAN 20% CONC, LEST YOU HAVE HI GAS AND POSSIBLY A DEHYDRATION REACTION YIELDING SO2 AND H2S) and then react with hydrogen peroxide to form iodine. also you could take the iodide solution and pump chlorine gas into it and you'll have a displacement reaction yielding iodine.
  23. it depends on what you use
  24. no it's crazier than tcap
  25. it will form sodium hydroxide
