Waz up I’m a journeyman tool & die maker and the alloy I mostly work with is waukesha 88 and the local scrapyard isn’t taking it anymore My boss wants to throw the metal chips in the dumpster I told him I would take them but now they are piling up Tons of them I would like to extract the nickel out and found the MONDS PROCESS has anyone ever tried that at a diy level or is there a better way I know this site if full of very intellectual and intelligent free thinkers always outside the box Sort of wondering what all of you would do with tons of these metal chips lol ? Alloy 88 is known as Waukesha 88, its mostly made from nickel, but a…

In the wiki, it is given that urea reacts with water to form ammonia and CO2. CO(NH2)2 + H2O → 2 NH3 + CO2 But when I add urea into water, neither is there and gas coming out as CO2 or any decrease in the level of water The urea just dissolved. How to stop this and make the reaction?

Hi. The manganese oxide becomes what after a discarded common battery is fully spent ?

NaHCO₃ ---> (heat) Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 How much heat is required to turn one mole of NaHCO3 to Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

CaCO3 --->(heat) CaO + CO2 How much heat is needed for turning 2 grams of CaCO3 into CaO and CO2

I was watching a show on tv explaining that mercury could be turned into gold with a particle accelerator. Since mercury and gold are incredibly close on the periodic table you'd only need to remove one atom to go from mercury to gold. But what happens when you remove more atoms? Would removing two atoms from mercury make platinum? And does that go for all the groups on the periodic table?

I am currently working on noble gas configurations in chemistry and I am having a hard time understanding why I got two questions wrong on a practice. The instructions for the practice are here: Write out the noble gas configuration for the element. Enter your answer with all values without any spaces, hyper scripts or subscripts Example: S- (These are meant to be in exponential format) [Ne]3s23p4 --> [Ne]3s23p4 My questions are: Write the noble gas configuration for Zr: Write the noble gas configuration for Ho: My answers were: [Kr]5s24p64d2 [Xe]6s25p64f11 I am still getting th…

I am trying to find out if compounds of Radioactive atoms such as Uranium are still radioactive. From a search I found https://web.evs.anl.gov/uranium/guide/overview/index.cfm Which has lots of information, including information on the various Compounds of Uranium, but I can't see anything relating to radioactivity. Just curious, I would suspect they may be in some cases. Paul

So, i just learned that because of backbonding in BF3, BF3 is a weak acid. This is due to the fact that B orbital if filled internally with F electrons. Now, if we bring NH3 to make a coordinate bond with BF3, it does. Why? Wasn't the vacant orbital of B already filled during backbonding? I am confused.

Washing my clothes with just dish soap, over a dedicated clothes washing formula, I found that my vests would maintain a stale odour. However, switching back the odour was banished. Comparing the ingredient list which one(s) made the difference ? ECOVER (dish soap) • Anionic Surfactants (5-15%) • Non-Ionic Surfactants • Water • Lactic Acid • Sodium Chloride • Alcohol Denat • Citric Acid • Sodium Citrate SURF (clothes washing powder) • Anionic Surfacants (5~15%) • Perfume • Polycarboxylates • Soap • Phosphonates • Oxygen-based bleaching agents • Optical brighteners • Enzymes • Zeolites • Coumarin • Hexyl Cinnama…

What type of inter molecular forces are present in NH4OH?

Hi, I have a doubt about making an equivalent %co2 solution with sodium carbonate. I have attached the reference equation quoted in the research article. If anyone knows how to derive the equation kindly help me. How 1.3g/L of Na2CO3 came for 5% Co2 solution and help me to find out for 50% co2. I have doubt in this derivation. ***reference*** pH=6.30+log [ HCO3− ] −log [ CO2] pH=10.09+log [ CO3 2- ] −log [ HCO3-] The values of sodium carbonate concentrations corresponding to 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 30% CO2 concentrations at pH 7 are 1.3 g/L, 2.6 g/L, 3.8 g/L, 5.1 g/L, and 7.6 g/L, respectively. ****reference*** Any one kindly help me as soon as possible.…

Hi! I have tried to solve this for few days but can't get the right solution. It seems so simple! This makes me wonder if I still miss some basics >-< 0,2g of sodium hydroxide was added to 1,0l of an aqueous solution of the monovalent acid. An addition after, the pH of the solution was 3,00. How many moles of acide were dissolved in the water before addition of sodium hydroxide? The pKa of the acid is 4,00. The addition of sodium does not change colume of the solution (t= 25°C) The correct answer is: 0,066mol

why is it when water is added to copper sulphate, the hydrogen does not displace the copper and form sulfuric acid? hydrogen is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series H2O + CuSO4 ---> H2SO4+ Cu?

Does anyone have information about the chemistry of iron in oxidation state VIII ? (The chemistry of iron (VI) is well documented) Mellor’s Treatise on Inorganic Chemistry devotes only a couple of paragraphs to the preparation of potassium perferrate K2FeO5 and iron tetraoxide FeO4. I remember as a teenager trying out the experiments described, but didn’t obtain the same results. I have googled extensively but found nothing of help. (How do I convert a number to sub-script?)

According to Google, the hard drive platter used in desktops is made of aluminum. Will either of these products effectively destroy the platter beyond forensic recovery: ARMOUR-Glass Etching Cream Ferric-Chloride-Etchant solution Both sold at various art supply stores, Amazon, and so on. The former for etching glass and latter one for metal. Anyone like to venture a guess as to whether either would destroy a Western Digital hard drive platter?

Back in the days of Windows 3.1, I had some software called periodic table of the elements, this had a nice feature that would display a picture of an elements decay tree. I am looking for something similar, however I am not sure if there is anything, but not sure if decay tree is the correct term I should be using. If i can determine better search terms, I may have more success, any suggestions please?. While I am running Debian Linux here, if there are suggestions for Windows and or mac, than those will be helpful to other users. I have gperiodic for Debian but that doesn't seem to have this information. https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/gperio…

Is there a particle which, when is hit with a neutron decays into another atom and releases only ONE neutron?

Some years ago, I created a topic about the existence or otherwise of iron (VIII). What follows is an update after I was able to download as a pdf all but one volume of J. W. Mellor's "A Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry". In Volume XIII Fe (Part II) on page 936 it says: O. Baudisch and P. Mayer 2 assumed that perferric acid, FeO3(OH)2, or H2FeO4 [it means H2FeO5], is produced when freshly precipitated ferrous hydroxide is oxidized by oxygen. D. K. Goralevich said that iron tetroxide, or perferric anhydride, FeO4, or perferric acid, H2FeO5, is probably formed as a volatile, unstable compound when barium perferrate, BaFeO5, is treated with …

Hi, Sorry if my english is bad, I read that tumeric can be tested for Metanil yellow with hydrocloric acid, I used 30% hcl and added some tumeric and it turned pink, Added some more and it tured red :/ does my tumeric contain Metanil yellow?

Hello everyone, Could you possibly enlighten me which principle soil ph meters use? I understand that they have an aluminum and copper electrodes. But I cannot find any information about this one (only the one with silver wire coated with AgCl) Thanks in advance

At what temperature and pressure should i keep a cylinder filled with N (NOT N2) so that they do not react and form N2

I'm asking for a thesis, not to try or achieve it. Is Toluene passed through nitric acid 3 times while TNT is being produced, or is it passed through acid once and nitrated 3 times at the appropriate temperature

Hello, I'm new so please be kind if I'm not in the correct board (or not following a certain posting rule). I am attempting to create a fine gold dust. I have dissolved 1oz of 24K gold in a solution of aqua regia. I am looking to precipitate the gold out with Sodium Metabisulfite. I will then rinse the solution through filter paper with distilled water. I forget the balancing of equations from college... will there be any parts of the sodium metabisulfite left? Or will I then be left with 24K gold powder and no contaminants? NOTE: I will not be melting the gold into an ingot after the filtering step. I wish to keep it a pure powder for other experiments.
