oh so that explains it

oh i wasnt implying you were into drugs. sorry if it came across that way. nope, but i can get some i probably would part with just a little for the novelty of having some

gene pool is too small around here and most just aren't serious enough. i found the right one, but she had emotional luggage that got between us. funniest thing is that she is the most rational girl i know

yeah, i'd definitely waste a little thermiting some vanadium pentoxide, cobalt oxide, etc for example. would have to be done in an inert atmosphere tho, which could make things a little difficult. good thing is that i could just electrolyze it back to the metal after finishing. i guess you could say that i could just form the chlorides of the metals in the first place and electrolyze them but hey, thermites look cool:\ i dunno, i have little use for alkali metals and generally people shouldn't, unless they really feel like getting into the drug business

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh gilded why did you say that? it hurts man. speaking of women, i suggest this to you all: never even try to use your scientific minds in your relationship because chances are it wont work. i tried. didn't work. oh females...

i like how clean this forum is. there are certain...reductions...you could do with them that i would not advise you to do, as there would be certain...reprocussions...for doing them. interesting how the government gave you materials to synthesize certain drugs... i suggest you keep a little of the metal in a container just for the novelty of it and use it to reduce oxidized metals so you can get a nice element collection. if you were really ambitious you could do some really exotic thermites

recently i've been considering making ferrates and ferrites, etc from Fe2O3. can anybody tell me how the following reactions sound? Fe2O3(s)+KOH(l) -->K2Fe2O5 (Fe oxidized from +3 to +4) upon addition of water, i believe that it would break to form 2KHFeO3 Fe2O3+NaOCl(aq)+KOH-->K2FeO4 ^scratch that, as it would yield HClO which would decompose the ferrate i have heard of this method: Fe2O3+KNO3-->K2FeO4 but also, i believe it would work with chlorates/perchlorates as the oxidizing agents. Fe2O3+2KClO3+10HCl -->K2FeO4 ^may yield some deranged chlorine oxides though:\ Fe2O3+Na2O2(l)+KOH(l)-->K2Fe2O5

perhaps atmospheric oxygen acts as a base and accepts the hydrogen i think i'll finish that reaction later today. as it is, the solution looks brominated; i believe i can see aqueous tribromide/triiodide anions as well as aqueous elemental iodine (only aqueous because of presence of aqueous potassium iodide). as it is i think it has been acidified enough so i'll just add the 35% hydrogen peroxide and let it be done. good idea? oh, and i think i'll do it outside this time so as not to breathe in anymore bromine:\

yeah, i'm more into exotics like ferrates and ferrites. working on that now

nice punctuation:\ yeah, they let me do lab work

yeah, he was like "woah whats with the smell of rotten eggs?" i was like "RUN. NOW." as i ran to my window with the beaker in my hand

i dont agree. you don't want bromide impurities with your KI. i totally messed up my reaction and i couldn't sleep in my room that night. had a difficult time hiding this from my mother. my father was in my room at the time, so i had a difficult time trying to display the urgency of the situation without making him panic:\ bromine is not fun. at all.

funny you mention NI3...the iodine i made is still lacking, as my chlorine generator didn't work perfectly and my H2O2/H2SO4 test almost killed me. i'll finish the H2O2/H2SO4 today and see what that gives me. i'm not too into explosives tho.

it's just simple dissociation; you see it happen with water and ionic solutes in water for example

you can create playlists on the fly actually

potentially, yes, unless it was impeccable timing

no fine print:\ i dont think they sell outside the us. dont buy from them

nope, i ordered a few weeks ago and they are still selling. my potassium iodide had a great amount of potassium bromide mixed with it

by the way, personally, i hate bromine. it gave me mild pulmonary edema two days ago. today i'm feeling better but it was no fun at all. i'm going to write an email to the al-chymist telling them how they almost completely screwed me over

bromine and rp is cooler

speaking of peroxides and superoxides, i was doing a chem competition yesterday (i went in alone without a partner and won the event with a perfect score:)))) that involved using calcium metal. i reacted the calcium with water and it bubbled, but not too vigorously, then it stopped. half an hour later i was done with the lab practical and the questions and talking to the chem teacher supervising the event when i snapped my fingers once and noticed that at that very instant the calcium started reacting again, much more vigorously than before. i figured that it was an oxide/peroxide/superoxide layer that was broken through at the very moment i snapped my fingers. cool occurrence

yes

works best with sulfuric acid, though, as you oxidize the iodide from hydroiodic acid, which causes a much greater yield

i wouldnt say decompose...i'd think that the peroxides/superoxides just passed their oxygen on to the sodium
