i use a stove burner im considering buying a cheap hotplate, however, but that may be difficult because i want to take some college classes next summer and my parents wont pay for it because i am only going to be a senior in high school after that summer...so i may not have enough money

or you could just alpha bombard bismuth 206...but it's NOT smart. you will die man. astatine rips straight through you with gamma.

who wants 9.03*10^10 atoms of plutonium-239 for 50 euros? seriously, that place is insane

they sell ethylene perchlorate there as well. im deeply disturbed.

haha! i love germany. check this out (from the site above): http://stadt.heim.at/newyork/132276/Fr.htm

it wouldnt until you added hydrogen fluoride

if it's like a cooking hot plate then im thinking $75-150 if it's for chem, i've seen them between $150 and 400, and as much as $2,000

you cant really divide people's political views by calling them "conservative" or "liberal". with regard to foreign policy, my views are liberal in the sense of globalization. socially, i am progressive (usually). economically, i am socialist.

actually i was coercing him to make pentafluoroantimonic acid:) hehe NEVER DO IT

um, have fun with your astatine and plutonium then. really, if i were you i'd stop at bismuth. polonium is really, really toxic...2.5*10^11 times as toxic as HCN, but then astatine and francium you will constantly lose. radium is a bit sketchy, but actinium, thorium and protactinium arent so bad. then you have everybody's best friend, uranium, neptunium (which releases waaay too much gamma) and plutonium before you get to americium, which isnt dangerous really. up to you, but just dont die

i'd just do it outside. i dont like the thought of chlorinated organic gases floating about in my house

ah, good idea with the solvent. ok so i would imagine that the chlorinated organic solvent and the peroxymonosulfuric/sulfuric would separate. my only reservation is the possibility of the chlorine in the organic solvent being oxidized by the peroxide. organic peroxides are really, really scary, got any other ideas for non-chlorinated solvents that readily turn to vapor? EDIT: why did i just mention the possibility of acetone????? (before the edit) acetone peroxide anyone? ACK!

outsourcing has benefits and disadvantages. for one, it helps third world countries grow by expanding their middle classes. these countries can be coerced into political alliances with the united states in return for outsourcing. at the same time, it sends jobs away from the states, a problem considering our lack of jobs. the real winner is the companies, who pay less for the same work

hence my stating it should be liquid ammonia. ok let me try this again. i'll use chemical formulas so you will understand my chemical names. add [math]NH_3[/math] liquid WITH NO [math]H_2O[/math] to an potassium salt [math]KNO_3 or KCl[/math] or others. it may work but i am not sure. if you heat [math]K_2CO_3[/math] to very high temperatures (1500 celcius or more), you may be able to reduce it with finely divided Al or Fe.

haha, funny you say that. i used to live in cape cod and my family still travels there often (we have a house there). last time my parents went (i had to stay home studying) they brought me back a bucketful of seaweed. im so proud of them for that. first off, iodine is by no means cheap. it is very, very expensive as crystals and even iodide salts are quite pricy. a quote from a site with information about the amount of iodine in seawater and seaweed: not so good. if i have, say a kilo of seaweed, i end up with 4.5g of iodine. still, it's definately worth it beacuse iodine is that cool. if you want to extract it, here's what ya do: -burn seaweed to ashes -acidify ashes with an acid. DO NOT USE A HALIDE ACID. if you use a halide acid, by the end of your experiment you will oxidize the halide and end up with [math]Cl_2[/math] if you use hydrochloric, for example sulfuric works best, as oxidation will give you a fun to use by-product and will not ruin the experiment by neutralizing the acidity of your solution -mix a little, to make sure all the salts dissolve. then filter a few times with coffee filters to get rid of all those burned organics -add a strong oxidizing agent. i highly recommend hydrogen peroxide. it should be relatively highly conced solution. to conc hydrogen peroxide just freeze the water off and pour out your conc peroxide. a word to the wise: dont mess with conc hydrogen peroxide as it will oxidize your flesh away, and will explode on contact with metals and organics depending on the concentration. when you add the peroxide, add it slowly because you probably will form peroxy acids, which are bloody insane. if you do it with sulfuric acid, you will make peroxymonosulfuric acid, aka pirahna bath. it will rip straight through your flesh, and explodes if the peroxide is added too quickly. dont mess with it. try using a lower concentration of sulfuric (30%?) and a high concentration of peroxide. when you add the peroxide you should get halogens. do this in a well-ventilated area because chlorine gas is no fun to breathe in too much of. you'll end up with a good bunch of chlorine, some bromine and a bit of iodine. the iodine sublimes readily so be prepared to capture it as well as the bromine in vessels that can handle a bit of pressure. store in a cool area.

boris, you should fluorinate some of your antimony.

well, liquid ammonia works wonders with reducing alkali metals, so it could potentially work with alkali salts. high temperature reduction with finely powdered aluminum would also probably work, although im not sure it would work so well with a nitrate, as it would more likely decompose too soon.

in your list i mean

you forgot oklahoma city

nitroglycerin also isnt something youd want to make in the first place. it really isnt fun and it's not effective at all...plus it's really unstable

just a little nitpicking: it's not Na(fattyacid) but rather the sodium SALT of the fatty acid the glycerol and nitric needs to be heated and the nitric must also have sulfuric added

woah hold up. where's the socialism? look at their army. and dont even give me the bs that armies dont commit terrorist actions. example: holocaust, rape of nanking, 4 million casualties in vietnam war (many of which were civilians), chemical weaponry used in mass quantities in vietnam and world war 1, the firebombing of tokyo and the nuking of japan in world war two. the victors write history and choose not to degrade themselves. with regard to your history section, please cite sources in palestine, there is no media and there is very little money. the money was stolen 4 years ago by the israeli army, which used anti-tank guns to break into palestinian bank vaults. they plundered, pillaged and left the computers with banking information destroyed. they recently did so again (see source in previous post). that is state sponsored terrorism. you are quick to blame palestinian groups for terrorist actions but you still do not address the issue of israeli state sponsored terrorist actions committed by their army.

STOP STEREOTYPING. BOTH SIDES WANT PEACE. you continue to ignore state-sponsored israeli terrorism. please address this issue

then you're blind. did you not read the very reasons why this occurs? READ AGAIN. the formation of israel was an encroachment on palestinian land. you say israel attempts to give land to the palestinians? no, they make "settlements" (in other words they annex) (in) palestinian land. they build walls THROUGH palestinian communities. and you ignore israel's state terrorism ya know, we could just give the palestinians money directly, rather than leave it up to egypt to decide who the money goes to

wow, i just realized how stupid i was to mention oxidizing fluoride anions. gah, terrible mental lapse
