budullewraagh

hi, i'm budullewraagh. my real life name is bud ulle wraagh. it's lithuanian.

i saw ti-83+ on sale for $75 a few days ago

ay, blike pmed me awhile back and i sent him my stuff. he's looking for people to do it, so if you want be up there, i'd pm him

well, somebody slowed light down to 25km/h and i can almost run that fast :\

you'll need a considerable amount of heat. if you blowtorch a mixture of the two, the nitrate may decompose, so be careful

it depends on the conditions. are you sure they're HYDROCARBONS, or could they be other organic molecules, specifically ketones?

well, it's not at all hard to figure out what salts produce various colors. what colors do you want?

ah i see. what happens if you have a reaction that yields nitric acid and silver oxide. nitric acid dissociates very easily, mind you, so it becomes quite acidic i could imagine

yes, very well in fact. you can make it explode and burn. if you want to have fun, the chlorate/perchlorate mix to some sucrose and add kinetic energy. a match should be sufficient. in doing this, you get a huge, really, really, really hot lilac flame characteristic of the potassium. if you want to have fun with colors, add salts; sodium for orange, strontium for red, magnesium for green, etc.

pH is the negative logarithm for the concentration of hydronium (H+) ions. i've never heard of the term "moiety".

yes, match heads have a mixture of potassium chlorate and perchlorate. perchlorates are stronger oxidizers than chlorates, actually

well, it's carbon and sulfur. up to you really. i suppose you could make a grignard reagent out of the carbon and add that to an acid and get saturated hydrocarbons for fuel. hey, if you want fun, oxidize the sulfur and try to make sulfuric anhydride gas. it's up to you. theyre not dangerous so just throw them somewhere. as for the nitrate, try a garden.

there is no general formula to my knowledge, just trends. check lange's handbook for bonding information; that's what i use.

heh, well you could make perchloric acid and add barium to your mix. generate chlorine gas with the reduction of a hypochlorite, then bubble it into a strong oxidizer like, say 100% permanganic acid. problem is you'll most likely end up with 90+% chloric and only a little perchloric. add barium metal to that and youll have barium chlorate and some barium perchlorate. as for potassium perchlorate, look in match heads. i just worked on a bunch the other day. add a bunch of match heads to a small amount of water, then heat. the cardboard and sulfur should come out. strain this then just do fractional distillation, but be careful not to detonate the potassium chlorate/perchlorate

no. the H2O is only relevant because it is what causes the decomposition

it should be NaOH --H2O--> Na+ + OH- all reactions involve heat changes

i'd add water. that way the carbon and sulfur wouldn't dissolve, and youd have a nice nitrate solution. add the nitrate solution to fertilizer for added performance:)

heh, barium is quite rare. look for it in sodium street lamps

your equation is essentially correct, but every here and there there will be a few odd aluminum oxides. i did the heat calcs and i think the Fe2O3 would be produce more heat.

i think the sulfur is to be used for heat with the nitrate

i never made that connection. the most conservative figures meaning that, in their extreme lack of efforts, the united states has found 11,000+ dead bodies. this casts aside all the others who we have yet to and little incentive to count perhaps you should give me a straight answer. funny the order you used in your point by point argument; you set it up so that you look like a hypocrite. define "enriched uranium" and you misinterpreted my words as well. i will quote myself: you failed to address the entire issue yes, it is, and i gave you sources. i will spoon feed you this one: http://www.harpers.org/UnitedNations.html here is what they say:

it is universally known that foxnews is biased conservative filth, but people don't report it as being so. im not going to give you confirmation on that. it's pretty obvious that it has the most conservative figures out there. perhaps you should do an arin whois or did we? i will ask you YET AGAIN. WHO IS COUNTING THE BODIES? yellowcake? he never got it, nor was he seeking it. also, i'd like to add that uranium isn't at all difficult to obtain. hey, my chem teacher has some. care to bomb her house? now, if they obtained the equipment required to isolate various isotopes, then we'd have a case against him. and hmm, what did bush do with north korea? he COMPLETELY AVOIDED THEM when north korea blatently said "we are making nukes." he CONTINUED to avoid them when they said "we have nukes. we are willing to stop our production if you sign a document stating you will not attack us unless we attack other people." hmm, and we still haven't found them. iraq and osama bin laden didn't get along. state terrorism would be a death sentence for mr hussein, and he'd rather not be killed/arrested. and, more importantly, WHAT IS HIS INCENTIVE? no, i'm correct in my mind until you show me figures. i'll say i believe he killed those 5,000 and a few more in his many years. i am completely positive that he killed more, but certainly less than 25,000. blike, i am debating the sanity of our president to go to war when the most credible source said "CONGRATS! YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT MASS MURDER ON 500,000 CIVILIANS!" it is the INTENT that i am questioning. see my above statement. except the ones who are pissed off that we killed their families, the millions who are without homes, and the ones who are pissed off that they have no money and no means for obtaining it, which just so happens to be the vast majority of the iraqi population

yes, HI is colorless in aqueous solution. colored solutions tend to have transition metals.

another good idea for the heat would be a magnesium ribbon fuse. if you want lower activation energy, use lead monoxide and aluminum, although it doesn't look nearly as good.

it depends on what you're attacking.
