    Whaling

    "Furthermore, the meat and blubber from the dolphins taken in these drives are highly polluted with mercury and organic contaminants like PCBs, and pose a risk to those who consume the meat." So is whale meat, like 10000% the recommended limit of Hg. If the Japanese are so hung up on...

    calculation help pls!!

    whoa! I would have got to this sooner... Ok here goes... Mass of fertiliser = ___? = x Mass of K2SO4 in fertiliser = x * 0.101 Molar mass of K2SO4 = 16*4 + 2*39.1 + 32.07 = 174.27 g/mol Amount of K2SO4 in fertiliser = ( x * 0.101 ) / 174.27 mol Amount of S04 2- in fertiliser =...

    Electroylsis - half equations!!

    When we apply a voltage the potential relates who much the electrons want to get to through the circuit. Our electrolysis is set up in such a way that for electrons to get through the circuit they need to participate in redox chemistry. Now, sensibly, the electrons want to take the easiest...

    The Offical Tennis thread

    Good point. There is a running gag about his performance on grass. I read in his interview he seemed to get the shits over it, though that is open to interpretation. Q. For a guy who didn't like grass that much... MARAT SAFIN: Jesus, how much you going to do? Come on channel nine...

    Identification of Ion

    I'll have a go at explaining it; You add Cl- until the solution no longer precipitates any PbCl2, NOT until the precipitate redissolves (you'll be waiting a while). The precipitate is all the Pb in the solution. Filter it off so that you have a nice clear solution again. Add sulfate ions...

    The Offical Tennis thread

    Haha, serves you right - Roddick is ugly and boring. Agassi did well not to come. At the Australian Open I traded some sucker 1 hours worth of Agassi for 3 cliffhanger matches. I cannot believe Tim won ... disgraceful. I left it at 0-2 because I had a final today and was shocked when I found...

    another question regarding ethanol as a solvent

    I don't know how you'd find other than just googling "soluble in ethanol", seems like you could track a few intersting tid-bits. I'd be less worries about exact chemicals and focus more on applications and mechanisms; though a few wouldn't hurt.

    1-butanol (-C(-I)H2OH) -> butanal (-C(I)HO) + 2e- + 2H+ dichromate (Cr(VI)2O7)2- + 14 H+ + 6e- -> 2Cr3+ + 14H20 Are you sure it isn't cyclohexene? C6H10 + Br2 -> C6H10Br2 If you were testing for either cyclohexane or 1-butanol, personally I'd add 12 times the amount of water. In the...

    Qs on water quality monitoring

    Q2 Excuse the ugliness. All they want is for you to determine; The direction of flow of a river - oh dear lord no! That is ALWAYS from mountains or to oceans or both, depending on how detailed the diagram is. Where abouts to test the water such that you answer the question that...
