potassium is my favorite because of its purple flame in water... speaking of cesium, i found a site that sells the chloride cheap. electrolysis, anyone?

stalin didn't represent communism accurately. unrestricted free market capitalism is always doomed to fail. see my challenge in the debate forum. i would be pleased to debate this with you.

i concur. i think blike was looking for other answers tho

well, "dangerous chemicals" can be "destroyed" in much easier ways...

yes. hydroiodic is more soluble in water than hydrobromic, hydrobromic is more soluble than hydrochloric and hydrochloric is more soluble than hydrofluoric. this is because the bond between hydrogen and higher halides is stronger than that of hydrogen and lower halides

join the regressive party!

sorry to digress, but where'd you get this? " Þ "

an example is doing everything a set number of times. if i had ocd and, say i had an itch on my right shoulder, i might scratch that area 4 times with 4 fingers, then do the same with my left shoulder.

well, i cannot vote quite yet, but i will explain why i support him. also, let it be known that before kerry, my choices were dean, kucinich and edwards in order of most favored to least favored. kerry has a better grip on the issues than bush. rather than blaming events for our problems or denying problems as bush has, kerry has addressed the problems we have and designed plans for fixing our problems. not all policies i agree with completely, but i believe his policies are more favorable than any other candidate including nader. while nader is a good economist, he is tunnel-visioned and not so good with other topics. so, simply put, i believe kerry represents me better than any alternative.

i dont know if you were implying this, but it's easy to replace the cation in uranium oxide.

altho my supersaturated HCl is probably upwards of 20M i should check sometime

actually, it was just 20% HCl that was kept in my basement for 25 years. oh man i love it though:) saturated HCl at various temps: 0 celcius: 512g 10 C: 475g 20 C: 442g 30 C: 412g 40 C: 385g 60 C: 339g 0 C: 14.04242458 M 10 C: 13.02763999 M 20 C: 12.12256184 M 30 C: 11.29976353 M 40 C: 10.55924504 M 60 C: 9.297620961 M

aww, i guess you haven't heard of it. look around for pdq bach madrigals. there's one involving christmas and an "uncle john" that's just incredibly humorous.

put the pickle down uncle john!!!

you ready for this sequence of events? here they are: -sub arrives in japan. -on the bloody DOCK, nuclear physicists take the U235, make a ball out of it and a bullet. some soldiers cart over a crate of trinitrotoluene, a shell and a shaft. they assemble it there.

that is when in solution. NaCl(s) for example is stuck together with all the force of a covalent bond that is considered by pauling to be "ionic". never the less, there is still a hybrid orbital created.

you know, the government didn't know what david hahn was doing, and he was doing it in his back yard in a suburban neighborhood. it is possible to obtain significant quantities of pitchblende, but i won't argue. has anybody heard of that lost german submarine that was bringing uranium-235 to japan? it was lost somewhere between india and indonesia, but that would have changed the war, now wouldn't it have? all it takes is a bullet of U-235 and some explosives to shoot it at a U-235 sphere, or a beryllium/polonium sphere with some plutonium 239 and uranium 235. the latter would be much more difficult, but the former would be quite easy. it's very simple. see above. think german sub. just try not to blow up the explosive that triggers the U235 bullet to shoot down the shaft and you're set. i thought i did. most japanese swore to defend their emperor. i will substantiate my claims: http://tigger.cc.uic.edu/~rjensen/invade.htm http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/giangrec.htm

it depends on the bond actually. according to pauling, Ag's electronegativity is 1.93, while that of Cl is 3, making AgCl not an "ionic" substance. Note: ionic compounds do not exist; it's a technicality.

it is completely possible, but we would need to spend a bit on the equipment required to isolate certain isotopes. pitchblende, anyone? but you can throw together a bomb in about a half hour. the only possible problem is seperating isotopes. nothing to do with japan's inability to defend its skies (although it had plenty of anti-aircraft weapons). it's the prospect of millions of japanese fighting and dying for their emperor.

radium, beryllium and uranium are not difficult to obtain. the former two are used in the neutron gun, while the latter of course is the fissionable stuff. of course, we would need to isolate the 233 and 235 isotopes, but if we had a government supporting us, we could. also, one could go the david hahn way with neutron bombardment of thorium 232, then getting 233, then protactinium 233, then uranium 233. remember that oath most japanese took to protect the emperor?

HCl is a gas at room temperature. i have some fuming supersaturated HCl in ze underground laboratory actually. 100000000M HCl couldn't exist; HCl isn't soluble enough.

well, they dissolve about 438 grams HCl gas in water. at this concentration, HCl gas fumes out.

well, i'm not so sure of that. it's not so hard to make a nuke, especially if you have a government's support. in fact, you and i could do it, although it would be a bit illegal and perhaps a bit difficult because of big brother watching, but reactors have been built by amatures. as for millions of casualties, the united states' military was large enough, but it would have taken awhile. the invasion would be normandy except with civilian casualties everywhere and an infinate number of japanese reinforcements

many have speculated that there would be millions of casualties. i had thought that you implied the war was almost over before the bombs were dropped. i believe the alles would defeat japan swiftly, but not easily.

the fatherland tends to be rational in thought on such international issues. those who are naive are either exposed to too much blind conservative media or are selfish fools
