it all depends on the amount of solution you have in the beaker. if it is 100 times more than the drop, the beaker's solution should be more damaging

no, they just all stay as NH3(aq) between water molecules

my solution is red-orange

"Quote the book please, so I can put it in context for you." i did

"it'll be more useful if you could comprehend it." this is coming from the pompous jackass who has yet to read it. i directly quoted the book. i was merely explaining to you how glycerin oxidizes and does not decompose. apparently some are too stupid to learn. does the fact that admitting i am correct seem less appealing because it proves you are wrong? does it negate the validity of truth?

you cannot describe a news station as being "subjective" you can't make multiple answers on the SAT and receive any credit. i challenge you because you're a pompous bastard and you need to know your place

i can cite my source, which happens to be napoleon's buttons. you should read it. it happens to be quite an interesting book

"One entry found for Chile saltpeter. Main Entry: Chile saltpeter Pronunciation: 'chi-lE-, 'chE-(")lA- Function: noun Etymology: Chile, So. America : sodium nitrate especially occurring naturally (as in caliche)"

"They call it chile saltpeter because it's mined in Chile." yes, natrium nitrate is mined in chile!

they call it chile saltpeter because it isn't like other saltpeter. gee, i guess you didnt think of that one, now did you? it's chile saltpeter because it is natrium nitrate rather than normal saltpeter which is kallium nitrate

i prefer vivisimo to google. i know how to use the word "subjective". if you have a problem with the way in which i use it, and would like to propose another way for me to use it, feel free to do so. that was the initial challenge. you have no reason to believe it was not.

i understand fischer esterfication. reactions happen over time. if there is just one hydronium cation, esterfication will occur. this reaction is reversible and will be at equilibrium that strongly favors the reverse reaction. nonetheless, there will be a certain amount of ester present at all times. "the decomposition of NG is another example of an OXIDIZATION reaction." try again buddy [math]4C_3H_5N_3O_9 --> 6N_2+12CO_2+10H_2O+O_2[/math]

"but it is evident that you really for the most part don't" well, as you can see from other threads, i apparently know a bit more than you about chem. funny how that works. "subjective meaning opinionated in the context you put it You are saying what is challenged is far to opinionated to one's opinion." Main Entry: 1sub·jec·tive Pronunciation: (")s&b-'jek-tiv Function: adjective 1 : of, relating to, or constituting a subject : as a obsolete : of, relating to, or characteristic of one that is a subject especially in lack of freedom of action or in submissiveness b : being or relating to a grammatical subject; especially : NOMINATIVE 2 : of or relating to the essential being of that which has substance, qualities, attributes, or relations 3 a : characteristic of or belonging to reality as perceived rather than as independent of mind : PHENOMENAL -- compare OBJECTIVE 1b b : relating to or being experience or knowledge as conditioned by personal mental characteristics or states 4 a (1) : peculiar to a particular individual : PERSONAL <subjective judgments> (2) : modified or affected by personal views, experience, or background <a subjective account of the incident> b : arising from conditions within the brain or sense organs and not directly caused by external stimuli <subjective sensations> c : arising out of or identified by means of one's perception of one's own states and processes <a subjective symptom of disease> -- compare OBJECTIVE 1c 5 : lacking in reality or substance : ILLUSORY i reiterate: i am saying that what is in question is the subject at hand which happens to be judged by one's opinion "far to opinionated" speaking of grammatical errors... "What is the challenge?" i challenge the accuracy of your apparent belief that my intelligence is not up to par with that of your own

"with the abilities" actually, all you need is one hydronium cation and you have catalyzed esterfication. the bisulfate does dissociate to a degree, yielding hydronium cations "The oxidization of the glycerin molecule IS the decomposition reaction." it actually isn't buddy. oxidation is just that, oxidation. decomposition can be observed by the reaction of nitroglycerin to yield nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen. it has one reactant and products consisting only of atoms formerly found in the reactant molecule.

so, essentially, you have stated that my mentioning a portion of the name of a chemical was redundant, as that portion (the anion) had already been mentioned before. you see, in case you hadn't read thoroughly, i mentioned a difference in the cation present in the salt. as well, it is not your place to apologize for my "lapses," especially in the situation where i have not made a "lapse". since the time you have joined this forum, i have noticed the constistent condescending nature of your posts. we do not appreciate such an attitude around here. if you wish to be a member of these forums, i suggest you act with less pomposity, lest you be banned

sodium bisulfate, when aqueous, is to an extent acidic. yes, i understand the dissociation constant is quite high and the acidity is countered by the natrium cation as well, the glycerin would oxidize before it were to decompose

posts don't have to be informative. i'd actually know the way this forum works a bit more than you. yes, yes you are challenged. that which is in question is far too subjective to one's opinion and less than possible to test

wow you can read too. i specified it as sodium nitrate. as i recall there is minimal potassium nitrate in chile

i challenge you

yeah, hennig brandt, altho he made people call him herr doktor brandt, in 1669 made it in hamburg

last i checked they mined sodium nitrate in chile. and as it is now, i cannot get any NO3-, save the small amount of ammonium nitrate in cooling packs. that's it. i can get an expensive mixture of trash with 8% KNO3 and that's it

could you support that statement and explain just how these troops are saving american lives?

you think the bisulfate will dehydrate it that much?

the bisulfate could, potentially, esterfy under the right conditions

because the tetraamine copper complex doesnt involve NH4OH. in fact, NH4OH isnt aqueous ammonia. instead it's NH3. the tetraamine copper complex is quite an interesting structure actually. the cupric cation just sorta sits in the middle while the nitrogen, being trivalent with a lone pair, use that lone pair to form coordinate covalent bonds with the cupric cation. the hydroxide is outside of all that
