well it's expensive and quite impure

your cells are also bulging in hypertonic conditions:\

yeah, well...depending on how you deal with it you may not expose yourself to dangerous conditions

there is a fine line to tread however between security and shameless authoritarianism. the government must make good decisions lest the people become angered. it is certainly difficult woot 1500 posts

the cilia and flagella beat due to ATP motion. i really dont want to get into the biophysics of it because it would take several pages to explain and i dont even know most of it

i should add that chromium and its salts are carcinogens

it would make a thermite, that is for sure. i believe it is Cr2O3 chromium has several oxides: CrO2, CrO3, Cr2O3 and, Cr3O4, namely best reactions for isolation of chromium would be Cr2O3 + 2Al --> 2Cr + Al2O3 2Cr2O3 + 3Si --> 4Cr + 3SiO2 speaking of chromium... http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/media/moov/volcano.mov the above video is bloody amazing. change the tag to .mpg if you dont have quicktime

your cells end up hypertonic to the outside enviornment and thus they are flooded with water and burst...

yt, tincture isnt cheap at all and i wanted quality reagents. sholin, try adding more bisulfate. if you lose the violet solution and see iodine crystals settle, you had a solution of iodine and potassium iodide

yeah but the sulfur will oxidize rapidly and it will act as more of a flash powder

eh, that would make a flash powder more than a thermite. remove the sulfur and you have a thermite mixture. by the way, all, who here has tried any exotic thermites?

cuprous salts work i suppose, although barium works better from what i have heard. nonetheless, cuprous salts are less expensive and more readily obtainable

just a note to all: do not drink distilled water. it kills you. no joke either

while i strongly oppose a government controlled by government, i vehemently oppose majocracy. a majority does not necessarily know what is in its best interest. take for example hamilton and assumption. take for example south carolina's secession. take for example bleeding kansas. i would shy towards oligarchy before i accepted majocracy

got me to thinking about the nature of the writing. since it was in a jovial christmas-ish tone, it prepared my brain to think of such a topic

yeah, considering it isnt the propellant itself, just a little is needed

as well as any alkali hydroxide. KOH works even better:)

i think we should have a chem category. chem isn't just an "other" science...we could divide it into organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, theoretical, and another for application and private experimenteurism

actually, ethyl perchlorate for example is absurdly unstable, as all organic chlorates/perchlorates are. perchlorates aren't all that stable but they are significantly more so than chlorates and more effective than nitrates

a friend showed it to me the other day. got it quickly. the H2O was probably the most significant hint

yes, yes it is wacky. dark green viscous volatile liquid that slowly decomposes to form ozone. yup, thats some wacky stuff. explodes really easy. oxidation potential is really high. i would think that 2-hydroxybenzoic acid could be attacked in the 3,4,5, and 6 regions, more likely the 4 and 5 positions

if you use sulfuric, make sure it's quite conc. it's really crazy stuff i'll tell you that. calcium chloride is definitely one of the best dehydrating agents out there, but as mentioned above, you want to blowtorch it to liberate any water already absorbed

chlorates are never good for such mixtures. use perchlorates instead

use barium sulfate; it won't react with anything there but will give yoru green colour

it can be oxidized...add permanganic anhydride:)
