5614 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 what's the difference between: MgO2H2 & Mg(OH)2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 CH3COCH3 what do you use methyl methanoate for? seriously. it's moderately toxic. i made some methyl ethanoate about a year ago and while it smells a nice fruity smell, it gives me some bad headaches. altho that could be because i used fuming HCl to catalyze the reaction:\ what's the difference between:MgO2H2 & Mg(OH)2 ? MgO2H2 sort of implies an obscure structure like... Mg-O-O-H2 which obviously wouldnt work. but just saying. Mg(OH)2 on the other hand shows it perfectly; the Mg makes its 2 bonds with the O from the OH group and each of the O atoms have their second bond incorporated in the H. so everyone's happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 its acetone last time i checked. isnt methyl methanoate C2H4O2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 yes, yes it is. i read that incorrectly. disclaimer: i had just woke up you had methyl ethyl ether. ok. im going to go take a shower and wake myself up right about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 no probs lol, i had to google methyl methanoate anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 yeah, that second C looked like an O im really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 "these generally are the people who obsess over organic peroxides and "francium" which doesnt really exist." Oh come on, there's about 25 pounds of francium at a time on/in Earth. Btw, vitamin B-12: C63H88CoN14O14P - the coolest vitamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 these generally are the people who obsess over organic peroxides and "francium" which doesnt really exist. I know people who trapped Francium. It eventually got away, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 what is a/the purpose of francium other than exploding it? [edit] or does no one know coz they cant experiment with it? in which case i think, seeing as you obtain it for shor periods of time we should experiment with it.

budullewraagh Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I know people who trapped Francium. It eventually got away, of course. what, an hour later? what is a/the purpose of francium other than exploding it? none. at all. it can be used as a reducing agent but wait, LiAlH4, NaBH4, Li, K, Rb all are more effective. and at high temperatures, carbon works a charm.

Gilded Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 "I know people who trapped Francium. It eventually got away, of course." Yeah, I recall some people trapping it quite a bit. http://funk.physics.sunysb.edu/lab/frnews2002/more3.htm <- cool Oh, has someone mentioned aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)? It's C9H8O4.

budullewraagh Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 it's things like that that annoy me:\ the results from chemfinder: 1-ethyl-4-nitro-benzene N-Phenylglycine Acetaminophen 4-(Methylamino)benzoic acid 2-(Methylamino)benzoic acid 4-Aminophenylacetic acid Methyl anthranilate p-amino phenyl acetate 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzamide Tetrahydrophthalimide Ethyl isonicotinate Phenol, 4-[(methylimino)methyl]-, N-oxide Methyl 2-pyridylacetate 4-Hydroxyphenylacetamide N-Methyl phenyl carbamate 1,4-Benzodioxan-6-amine 1,3-Benzodioxin, 6-amino-, o-Methoxybenzamide 3-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid 4-amino-m-toluic acid 4-amino-2-methyl-benzoic acid Nitroxylenes Ethyl picolinate phenylcarbamic acid, methyl ester Piperonylamine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 ill take Acetaminophen! erm i would say C5H5NO2 but seen as though its you - Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 What if people said more what the molecular formulas actually mean in English - that would be nice. (Of course, only in cases where the compound actually has a shorter/simplier everyday name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 i love organics. there are compounds with names that would go for 3 lines that we chemists would understand and put together. i love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 "i love organics. there are compounds with names that would go for 3 lines that we chemists would understand and put together. i love it" Yeah, got to hand it to organics. The 6,6,4-buty-whatever way of marking the structure is especially awesome, like 1-methyl-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TNT, C7H5N3O6). And the biggest hydrocarbons are cool too (for example C60H122, or hexacontane). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulderMan Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 would confuse the normal people, but after all we do call ourselves scientists! and cyanoacrylate is pretty well known... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 what is a/the purpose of francium other than exploding it? One possible experiment is parity nonconservation. IIRC the weak mixing in the transition from the first excited S state to the ground S state (forbidden under a strictly electric dipole transition) gets stronger as you move down the periodic table' date=' as it has a Z[sup']3[/sup](at least I think it's cubed) dependence.
