no, what i am saying is it is never NH4OH. ever. it has recently been determined that any van der waals' forces that would form something like NH4OH are not significant. 1 is true to an extent to get NH3(g) from NH3(aq), just bouil water

chlorine dioxide is incredibly unstable though...it explodes in light your other gaseous products probably include sulfur dioxide and a little Cl2O

it wouldnt work as well. perchlorates are definitely the best for the job. edit: well there are perxenates.....but we wont talk about them

hardly. the accepted formula is NH3(aq), not NH4OH. until recently it was NH4OH.

ive never had a problem with chlorine gas tho. quite frankly i dont think much of your chlorine reduced from +5 to 0, but rather i think you got a bunch of it reduced to +1 and a little reduced to +3

i am completely sure that the most toxic compound is botulinum toxin a. hands down.

did it smell like rotten eggs by any chance? depending on the concentrations, you could have had a bunch of dangerous gases, among them Cl2O, ClO, ClO2, SO2, H2S, SOCl2, and Cl2 to name just a few. can you tell me any specifics on the gas?

you just went in after school and played around with chems??????????????/ are you mad??? chlorine dioxide is not only extremely toxic but it explodes when exposed to light. dont ever make it. ever. you end up with a bunch of products from that reaction depending on concentrations. give me a little more info

funny how bayer sold that as medicine in the 1800s...

actually it would require significantly less than that

recently i've been trying to figure out a good way to produce manganates. one way is the tried and true method of using fused potassium hydroxide with manganese dioxide and an oxidizing agent, such as potassium chlorate. this of course works to oxidize the manganese. i was thinking though, what about trying this in reverse? by reverse i mean reducing a permanganate, which is easier said than done when we're talking about reducing it to +6, as permanganates tend to reduce to manganese dioxide. after awhile, i figured that if one were to add a fused alkali cation, the alkali would attack the permgananate at one of the doubly bonded oxygen atoms, causing the permanganate to reduce to manganate. what do you think of the following reducing agents? LiAlH4, NaBH4, KOH, K2CO3

i actually don't have barium but ive seen it that expensive. props to you for getting it so cheap

i bet, considering i just lost a bunch again. must...get...over...1500

what's wrong is that it's like $100 for a few grams. not exactly pocket change for a colour effect

sorry man but this is a truly terrible thread. there are loads of things i dont want to be exposed to. i have been exposed to H2S, Br2, Cl2, SO2, HCl(g), (CH3CH2)2O, Cl2O and NH3(g) among others and i will say that they are really unpleasant, some more so than others. these are by no means even close to as lethal (concentration-wise) as many other chems, namely v and g agents, such as tabun, sarin and vx as well as the novichok agents. plutonium also is incredibly dangerous in multiple ways. i believe that speaking in terms of fatal doses by number of molecules, botulinum toxin a is the most "dangerous"

it's much safer if you keep it wet

eh...dont add table salt. it produces a strong yellow that really eliminates all the other colours. you have barium ordered??????? you mean a salt of barium i hope

panasonic lumix. not exactly great and it was a poor pic. btw, how did i just lose like 20 posts? i was over 1500 earlier...

haha good one

it needs to be acidified a little more. i'll finish it tomorrow

i did. nothing happened. at all. what the bloody hell man

as you wish. speaking of this reaction, i'm going to be finishing it in a few minutes (maybe). wish me luck... as you can see, i have a really weird solution. i'm going to add 35% h2o2 to it then get the hell out of there in case i get a bunch of bromine. sorta paranoid tho. should i do it?

and i dont take credit. if you watch it it says "copyright university of sheffield". yt, it's a video of the reaction of a paste made by mercuric thiocyanate and ammonium dichromate

well it's like 5% iodine and 5% potassium iodide. and for that low percent it is very expensive

are you actually opposing the ideals of simple biophysics? it's called diffusion man. concentration gradients
