water is really, really small and polar

it really shouldn't be a problem if you just heat your product. you see, if you use phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide, you will need to do the reaction with water in the first place. it is not easy to perform such reactions without using a solvent such as water.

hmm, speaking of bismuth, i have a few ounces and i DONT plan on nucleosynthesizing 210 astatine because i actually respect my ability to reproduce. so, i was thinking of making some crystals out of a bunch of bismuth. anybody have any ideas as to how i could do this? i dont have much experience with crystal growing.

is it so necessary to dwell on the implications of one sentence when we have issues at hand that actually affect people?

is there a way i can do it without doing electolysis?

im trying to obtain strontium metal from the nitrate salt. i was thinking of making a solution of the salt and adding pure magnesium metal to reduce the strontium. two questions: -would this work? -would the strontium dissolve? if it doesnt work, do you have any other ideas?

the british keep losing cities in the south. i believe their generals have pretty much told them not to fight too hard and to retreat if anybody could die. it's actually not a bad idea, but it also means that they lose the cities they are occupying

107+14+(3*16)=170 170/10=1.7 1.7*2.5=4.25

mercuric or mercurous?

i will second that; ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds (usually)

eh, sodium hypochlorite is also in most drain cleaners, and you wouldnt want to drink that

if you do a thermite, use aluminum and lead dioxide, as it's much less dangerous

wait, doesnt the decomp yield iodine dioxide and nitrogen dioxide?? if so, that is NOT cool to breathe in at all lest we all get pulmonary edema and die

^are your products i guess you could use the phenol for certain.....ya know i'd imagine that the 1,2-dioxetane-3,4-dione is actually quite a remarkably good oxidizing agent, so see what you can do

actually, iodine is really expensive, nitrogen triiodide yields some really unpleasant gases and it explodes very violently if you do so much as breathe on it

yeah, they have 40% hydrogen peroxide here's the actual reaction: the hydrogen peroxide is realeased into a solution containing oxalic phthalate ester. as this oxalic phthalate ester is oxidized to form phenol and carbon dioxide, the cyclic intermediate 1,2-dioxetane-3,4-dione is formed. one can see that this is a high-energy molecule, as it is resonance equivalent with two molecules of carbon dioxide.

no, but that's because i don't have much of a need for it. i may get some from glow sticks sometime

well...im not sure of a certain specific page, but think of it this way; oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent, with the second highest electronegativity of all of the elements. sulfur easily oxidizes to the dioxide, but also forms sulfites, sulfates, persulfates, thiosulfates and the like. copper and iron would only be cationic in these. so, im thinking they could form something like: [math]FeS + Cu_2S + 4O2 --> FeCu_2(SO_4)_2[/math] or it could form [math]FeCu_2(SO_3)_2[/math]

Fes? are you speaking of FeS? if so, it depends on the temperature you have; the sulfur should oxidize, but it could oxidize to one of many states

i dont believe ammonium sulfate is a good oxidizer

it depends on the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen chloride i'll get back to you later with specific calculations of heat changes, but i have a biology lab that should take 10 hours of time. a friend of mine started it yesterday and in five hours only finished half of it.

dude, this is totally different. hussein's last killing spree was 5,000 kurds in 1995. as of now, we have mass genocide. there's quite a difference. plus, theres the whole economics issue

oh, i was close then. sounds like quite a decent reducing agent when powdered finely enough

could it be......finely divided magnalium?

well, this all depends on your religion. if you happen to be christian, jesus preaches quite contrary to that
