Fair enough. Good of you to leave it open for others to ponder, and glad you like the reaction.Do we have any other takers?

the reaction would be something like thischemicalA (aq) + chemicalB (aq) => chemicalC (aq) + chemicalD (solid)In this thread, Hg2Cl2 was mentioned. Which one is it? A or B or C or D?NaNO3 was also mentioned. Which one is it?To be more precise, the NaNO3 is in solution so Na+ and NO3- was mentioned instead.

I had something braindead involving the proton on the (quaternary) nitrogen transfering to the carboxyl oxygen so that water could attack but after several hours of thinking about the problem I just wasn't getting anywhere.   was looking for something Cope like.Then I googled 2 very general terms in the hope of seeing something inspirational and instead google spat out the exact solution as the second result.  t is clean and it is neat and I probably wouldn't have got if I spent a month staring at the problem.I respectfully withdraw.

What restriction would there be stopping zero from being an energy eigenvalue?

The drilling industry word “frack” with its many forms and uses has a profane ring to it in the ears of some.  Gas industry folk cringe when they hear their own jargon adopted for public use in less that complementary ways. Sounds like a good issue for Glenn Beck. He can dress up in his [...]

I just had a conversation with a colleague who is somewhat mainstream in his/her thinking. The question came up as to why can’t we be energy independent.  What is taking so long with the electric cars and natural gas powered … everything? When can we break away from middle eastern petroleum? In the public sphere, [...]

According to an article in Mineweb, the remaining cold war era uranium will be consumed in the next few years, leaving the nuclear industry with inadequate supply streams from mining.  Thomas Drolet of Drolet & Associates Energy Services, said that in 2010 mining produced 118 million pounds of uranium against a demand of 190 million pounds.

As we labor away on our extractive metallurgy project, I continue to marvel at how even complex extraction schemes reduce to the application of fundamental chemistry and basic unit operations. It is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the composition of your ore and the fate of the components as they are exposed to [...]

In this week’s Chemistry in its element podcast, Duncan McMillan breathes life into carbon monoxide: a silent killer whose calling card is the ironically healthy hue of its victims. But, as Duncan explains, these days canary-based CO detectors are a thing of the past and we’re even learning that CO can be helpful [...]

Thanks to Bill in Michigan for the link on how the US lost out on manufacturing the iPhone. The article is well worth the read. A few of us have been beating this drum for a while. Economics is not a theory of physics. It is entirely about choices people make. But to some, economics has become [...]

Last spring, a few of my students made me an awesome parody video of Rebecca Black's Friday, "It's Lab Day." This semester, nearly half my class turned in lots of great parody videos.  Not all of them wanted to be shared publicly, but here are most of the videos my class made me!   Sunglasses [...]

In solidarity with yesterdays protest against internet censorship, my porch light remained dark last night. What is normally a shining beacon of hope in the neighborhood was last night a mute and dark void.  This pocket of frigid darkness sat in silent protest to those who would presume to stunt the billion webbed neurons of [...]
