NaBH4...well, you can have fun doing this in a few ways. one extremely dangerous way is to pass diborane gas over heated sodium metal in an otherwise inert atmosphere. just try not to die or anything. you could heat boron, sodium and hydrogen gas under pressure in a hydrogen+inert gas atmosphere... just try not to die or anything. now, let's get into the more abstract theoretical realms... i suppose if you were to superheat sodium borate in a highly pressurized hydrogen atmosphere with a huge excess of hydrogen, you could pull it off, yielding perhaps sodium hydroxide... boric acid with sodium hydride would work if in similar conditions...

heh, i have an erlenmeyer flask in my basement with about 250mL H2O2 that started out as 300 or so of 3% a month ago. it's kinda funny

define "chemical shifts"

it depends on the alloy the answer to all your questions is simple: cupric salts hydrate easily. the hydrated sulfate is soluble because there is so much water coordinate covalently bonded to the cupric cation, keeping the sulfate anion away. the colour changes are because of changes in charge and hydration.

say, could you tell me of a good method for extracting capsaicin?

ethyl hypochlorite works wonders. mix that with, say, a little capsaicin and xylyl bromide and you have a great liquid to scare people away with

eh, what are the safety guidelines you want?

well yes, phi, but these debates have been going on for how long now?

i suggest we threaten severe bludgeoning to whoever mentions anything (old) about iraq. seriously, this is getting to be rediculous. (i don't blame you, phi. ignorant conservatives like to run around in circles losing debate after debate about the same topics.)

just a note: atoms can undergo positron capture as well

eh, bismuth 83 would be severely neutron-deprived... bismuth is bi, just so you know. 209 bismuth is the only kind you'll find naturally. i wouldn't suggest transmutating bismuth:\ 210 astatine, anyone?

fine, i'm done here. the two of you have shown me that those who refuse to see will not. you can accept your opinions, devoid of fact and reason, and i will accept my fact-derived knowledge

"I agree. However, I see this in no way supporting, or even being relevant to, your point." it ties back to my point that the chinese and koreans come from the same background. "Which part do you consider false, or do you disagree with all of it? Do you have other evidence than to demand that we check your seemingly non-existent sources?" are you blind? i have sources. check in my previous posts. the koreans borrowed from chinese culture and the chinese borrowed from korean culture. the japanese borrowed from chinese and korean culture and the koreans and chinese borrowed from japanese culture. culturally racially and linguisticly, the chinese and koreans are similar. "I have no idea your point might be" there are none as blind as those who refuse to see

wow, two things i hate: fluorine and radiation. i wont go to any uranium enrichment facility anytime soon

"Firstly the Chinese and Koreans do not have similar ancestry. The Koreans are descended from Tungusic tribal peoples, they are a distinct racial and cultural and linguistic group." check my sources. plus we have to realize that the chinese of the huang he river valley were among the first civilizations ever, and the first in asia (aside from the sumer and perhaps the indus civ, but those were waaay far away) "I don't understand what you mean by 'take back Korea' Korea never was Chinese so how could it be taken back?" check my sources... "The only time China can be said to have stood by Korea was in the Korean war. Not an act of brotherlyness. A powerplay between communism and capitalism." check my sources... "Yes, China has had great influence on Korea, that does not make them brothers, rather Korea has had to struggle to survive and maintain its distinct identity." check what i am defending and my sources... "China has repeatedly mlitarily intervened in Korea." ...yes...that supports my statement "Well, you did not" yes i did...check my posts "If China has such feelings of solidarity with Koreans why are Koreans in China so badly treated?" if americans in general arent racist against those of african descent, why do some of african descent get lynched by the kkk every so often? "Yes, culturally, racially, and linguistically, they are very different. THe Koreans did borrow heavily from the Chinese." no, that is simply false "This is true, but you have the direction in reverse." have you ever gone over a bridge but found that you could not go back over it when you wanted to return? your point is absurd

"Please expand on this. I don't know of their similar ancestry, except that conquest leads to interbreeding." wow, read my above post. "Hardly a sign of brotherlieness." after the reconquest, their governments were very closely connected. "I think that China had by far the greater influence on Korea." cultural diffusion ring a bell? the peninsula was like a bridge from japan to china "This last sentence says it all." except you didn't quote a sentence. you quoted a fragment of a sentence. you aren't going to convince me by interpreting only portions of my statements.

absolutely. the chinese and koreans have similar ancestry. the chinese attempted to take back korea, successfully. they have had great influence upon one another throughout the ages. they fought side by side many times. remember what happened with mcarthur? yeah, the chinese army was right there to defend north korea. it happens. of course, these military actions were in self-interest, but it isn't hard to see that the chinese backed up korea because of their brotherly connection

see, the thing is that you'll never find a place with a significant amount of fluorine

from wikipedia: "According to other ancient transcripts, a kingdom called Gija Joseon was established in 1122 BC, when a Chinese exile Jizi (Gija) led 5,000 followers to the mountainous peninsula and founded the kingdom by merging with existent populations" from wikipedia: "Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty in China, the kingdom continued to suffer from Chinese invasion until conquered by the allied Silla-Tang forces in 668." from wikipedia: "Koreans in China Koreans form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. It is considered one of the "major minorities". They mostly occupy the north of China, especially in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, where they numbered 854,000 in 1997." "1593 February Japanese forces abandon P'yongyang to the Chinese; samurai under Kobayakawa Takakage defeat a Chinese army in a rear-guard action at Byokchekwan. " http://www.samurai-archives.com/time2.html "In the Battle of Myongnam in October of 1957, by which time Chinese Ming army had teamed up with Korea " http://www.oliverbock.de/koreanica/html/3koenige/admiral.htm plus my closest friend was born in china, and we have discussed the korea conflict. he supports the notion that china and korea are like brothers. he also is a poli-sci major.

that is just simply false. i provided historical evidence and you did not. now, if you were to thwart my evidence and provide some of your own, i may consider your opinion to be valid

ethoxides are very hygroscopic and aren't stable in air, so i think your ethoxide decomposed. perhaps you should try an organic solvent. i once again implore you to try the Cl2 method

things get irradiated. things die. things form radioisotopes that cause other things to die.

i still wouldnt want to be exposed to any fluorine at all, but hey, that's just me

"no, they are just conservatives." mm, conserving that rich hatred filled past
