CO2 can be used as a reducing agent at really, really high temperatures, as it will oxidize to carbonate... but it takes loads of energy so it's pointless to even consider that. it's mostly inert and is not apt to decompose...ever

this is most likely a result of the reaction between aluminum and water, forming aluminum hydroxide. methanol's acid dissociation constant is really high so this probably has no effect whatsoever

throw sodium into water:\

trying to take over the world are we?

note to all: "metal" and "nonmetal" is really subjective. thats why i don't think of elements in such terms. for example, when i think of antimony, i think of a dark toxic solid with little luster. it gains a positive formal charge of +3 or +5 predominantly but can gain a negative formal charge of -3 predominantly. etc when i think of silicon i think of carbon but with less potential to form huge molecules. i think of semiconductors. i think of 4 not-too-polar bonds. etc.

sulfuric acid isn't difficult to obtain; take a car battery and a few coffee filters

i never really bothered to care enough; i just know the elements on either side. it's something like the metal-nonmetal staircase

i second ecoli on this, and i also add that chlorine isnt really that dangerous. just try not to breathe too much in and be in a ventilated area

silver acetylide. ethyl perchlorate

i'd probably have a large hole in my forehead where my hammer struck me. ive actually never made nitrogen triiodide for two reasons: -my chlorine generator didnt produce enough chlorine to react with about an oz of KI -my H2SO4+H2O2 attempt failed miserably yielding an incredibly toxic mixture of gases and proving how impure my KI is. when i get some proper resublimed iodine, perhaps i am not inclined to hit it with a hammer no need for a true "compound". try some rp

haha i win, and more so does the nitrogen triiodide

ah, or could you possibly hit it before it detonated?

i think i can answer this. we must think of this in terms of moles. disregarding density, if one has 10 grams of LiNO3, they will have much more NO3- than 10 grams of CsNO3. molecular mass of LiNO3=68.9459 daltons molecular mass of CsNO3=194.91035 daltons thus in any given sample, the NO3- anion accounts for 89.93268635% of the mass of LiNO3 while it only accounts for only 31.81200998% of the mass of CsNO3 in the case of Al(NO3)3, the NO3- anion accounts for 87.33238753% of the mass however, one must consider the forces of attraction between the cation and anion. in terms of number of molecules, CsNO3 has more oxidizing potential than Cu(NO3)2 despite the fact that Cu(NO3)2 has more NO3- per molecule and per mass for that matter. ferric nitrate should be a reasonably strong oxidizer cupric nitrate should be a poor oxidizer comparatively speaking aluminum nitrate should be the strongest of the bunch

i think he's saying that if you take water vapor at incredibly low pressures and expose it to a really cold setting the gas will freeze

in such a setting where reactants are tightly packed or intimately mixed, if the activation energy potential is met by one molecule/1molecule of each of the reactants, they react, and if the reaction is exothermic, they breach the activation energy barrier for adjacent reactants.

While I may prute for putery, I certainly don't feel fah for awiht. You make me hathheart, my tart, when you thwart my depart, you bogart. But i will outsmart you, and with my prass, I will hinder the hildr you crave. I will fordon you. If it is my konnyng you want, let me then, seith, shaltow have my oncnawan, somtyme you gefelan the sarnes that I habban. To fullice asmeagan this lecgan we are at, you must secan inside eowin self. Eow han the onweald to do it. Who besan min? take a shot at it. if it gets too difficult i will give hints

1-methyl-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene; 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene; 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene; alpha-trinitrotoluol; entsufon; methyltrinitrobenzene; s-trinitrotoluene; s-trinitrotoluol; sym-trinitrotoluene; sym-trinitrotoluol; TNT; tolite; trilit; Trinitrotoluene; Trinitrotoluene, 2,4,6- ; trinitrotoluol; trotyl;

come now, thats just called 2,4,6 nitrotoluene

...yes... the one who posts it should give the answer the next day or something

it would probably be a difficult, challenging question

well i left a bunch of options and that can be another. depends on popular support

title says it all really. what do you think of having one of these? i'm not talking about something for helping people with adademics or aiding in one's personal quest for knowledge. rather, i am thinking of something where a challenging question is raised and people try to answer it. potential ideas: who can post: -admin -admin and mods -anyone where they can be found: -as a forum under "general" -as a forum under physics, mathematics, medical sciences, biological sciences, other sciences, etc...which is another reason we should have chemistry be its own "science," lest we have chem/comp sci/engineering questions all together.

i love organics. there are compounds with names that would go for 3 lines that we chemists would understand and put together. i love it

perennial, when you have referendums on everything of course you would have oppression of the minority. what do you think would happen? that a percent of the majority would stop and say "hey, lets change our minds just for kicks". seriously thats hogswash
