i get moderately confused when there are such reactions involving permanganates oxidizing alcohols to organic acids though. got any idea of the reaction?

we all know permanganates exist, but little is said/found of manganates. seriously. do a search online for manganates and all you will find are manganate (VII) which are really just permanganates. i found one site that mentioned the electrolytic oxidation of manganates...but theyre not even listed in the merck index and i cant find them on chemfinder. anybody know why theyre so elusive?

it's not sensitive at all...if you want better results, melt your nitrate and add carbon, the more finely divided the better (lampblack carbon works well). if you want more propulsion, add finely divided sulfur as well and you will get more moles of gas evolved, as you will get potassium sulfide

on second thought, there may be a double replacement reaction. unfortunately i have yet to find an activity series of monatomic AND polyatomic anions

it's a good oxidizer

sorry man but all you have is a mixture of sodium and calcium hypochlorite and potassium chloride.

...californium being good for shredding peoples' flesh with neutrons?

yeah thats what i was referring to

yeah thats what i thought:\

woah woah. how do you oxidize hypochlorites to chlorates using chlorides?????

i heard that botulinum toxin a was...

no nation would nuke another. it is political, social and economic suicide

i totally agree. also, i believe NK made nukes because it was targeted as being "evil" just like iraq. when iraq was attacked for no reason, NK decided to defend itself with the great deterrent

there are many more, including cobalt-60 and iodine-131

you can, and do breathe carbon dioxide. you just dont really do things with it. the oxygen is transported to cells where it is used as an electron receptor in oxidative phosphorylation

yeah, just use ie for that. sadly you have to use ie

who here heard about the "sarin" found in fallujah?

yeah; i did. it's a useful formula and not too commonly known
