hmm, i thought the molecule in his picture was haemoglobin. and the resultant molecule would be the heme group. it has 10 double bonds giving us potassium.

 

this also has 6 kJ/mol resulting in manganese

 

EDIT: damn, theo responded and i was wrong

bugger

Ah, nothing but a slight reading error- you missed the part where I said to simplify the molecule, cutting all the "R" groups, this would have cut some double bonds, and formed others, to result in eleven. Wait, hold on... doesn't haem have 13 double bonds?

Well, everything does, techniquely. Factoring out "delta G o" (sorry, I don't know how to latex that), and product/ reactant molarity shifting to conc., the result has no dependence on the gradient involved, and is determined solely by concentration ratio, and temperature. That's why I added the bit with adding calcium's atomic number to it. Otherwise you could skip a multitude of preceding steps.

Heme B does.

Thanks for the clarification UC.

With UC's approval I will post the next riddle.

 

I am an element named after Einstein's Marie Currie. The person I am named after took the first steps to Little Boy, but was never awarded The Prize for my nobel work.

 

What is it?

Meitnerium. Someone else post a riddle. I got nothin'.

You are right UC, at least it lasted longer for a few hours.

That's because I didn't see it.

seeing as UC said anyone can post one here's another:

 

This metalorganic compound is pretty unsavoury. if it was a person you'd say he was a real ass.

 

The molcular structure of this compound looks quite similar to what its name suggests but this is purely coincidental.

spelling

I am a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I exist on ocean floors in the form of frozen hydrates and if I where to be release by the warming of the oceans I would increase global warming drastically. R you aware of who I am?

 

sorry he posted while I had the reply window open ><

 

I'll guess an answer for his cyclohexylmagnesium bromide.................

the answer to yours is methane but your answer to mine is wrong. try again.

arsole?

what did you call me?

 

yeah thats right.

i'm like a porphyrin, but with an extra pyrrole unit per ring. I am unbelievably difficult to make.

sapphyrin

 

Your first mistake was mentioning it in IRC a while back.

 

I am a polycyclic aromatic molecule with a rather sunny name, consisting solely of carbon and a chalcogen. What am I?

solely carbon and a chalcogen? no hydrogen?

no hydrogen.

i'm gonna need more. Which chalcogen? sulfur? and how is its name sunny?

Oh, but that would make it too easy.

I'm going with option 'This is an imaginary compound!'

Edited August 19, 200916 yr by buttacup

well i'm giving up. Ive spent a stupid amount of time googling and searching through aldrich catalogues.

 

But i did just discover I can change the title of threads... i didnt know I could do that!

I have been looking this up for awhile now and have come to the conclusion that a polycyclic aromatic molecule WITHOUT HYDROGEN leads to a headache and confusion!

So, you want the answer?

If there is some substance to this what is it give us a hint!

no answer, hint pleaseeee!
