Inorganic Chemistry

I have 20 Baume Hydrochloric Acid, concentration of about 31.25%. I know that performing electrolysis on the solution would only produce hydrogen and oxygen, but is there any way (or any reaction) to seaparate this into hydrogen, oxygen, and/or chlorine (diatomic gasses)?

Heya again. Now i am wondering what is in alkaline batterys anode. i know it is gel of Zn and something ... but what might the something be? And could it be dissolved for getting Zn out of it... ? Markus the want to know guy. Edit: By the way. Water and ethanol did not work, least not yet. ( some of it is still outside in 50% ethanol but i dont think it changes anything.)

I have idea of having crystals at home and i would like to have one electric blue one... so i would love to find out how to make CuSO4 ( i mean if there is any ideas how to create it from home substances because i know the basic inorganic chemistry... but i sadly can not go to buy what i need. because i dont know where i could buy em form. least not in 300 km radius of my home. )

Hello, My background is not chemistry, but I have been on a mission to learn...since my significant had his drain cleaning incident... From my understanding sodium hydroxide will turn into sodium carbonate in time as it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. How long will this take?? As I understand this depends on how much surface area of the sodium hydroxide is exposed. So for instance if you had some NaOH that was exposed to the air for 6 months...would it that be sufficient time for it to have changed into sodium carbonate? Thanks, Jennifer

If you took toothpaste, is there any way that you could get fluoride (F2) gas. I realize there are impurities, which would have to be filtered, and there is only a very small amount in one tube of toothpaste. Any help appreciated...

I have read the other posts about saltwater electrolysis, but I was still wondering a few things: First, how will I know what the product is and its purity without fancy equipment? I want to arrive at sodium chlorate, but not continue to sodium hydroxide. I also want to be able to get rid of most of the beginning NaCl. Plus, for electrodes, I have some gold-plated electrodes, some graphite ones (well, modified golf pencils...), some aluminum bars, some copper bars, slabs of bismuth, lead, blah blah blah... what can I actually use that isn't platinum? My aluminum did get eaten up on first try, but that's probably from the hydroxide more than anything else. What wil…

When seaparating NaCl in water using Diaphragm Cell Electrolysis, a semi-permiable filter is used to prevent the mixing of products. An animation is here... http://www.eurochlor.org/animations/diaphragm-cell.asp My question is what is this Diaphragm made of? Is there any way that I could make one myself or would just like a regular coffee filter work or could I get one somewhere else? I would appreciate the help.

I need a strong acid for an expiriment that I'm conducting and I was just wondering, if possible, what the easiest way to produce either Sulfuric or Nitric acid from somewhat common reactants, like stuff that I could buy in like a pool store or even a general store? I know it sounds stupid, probably won't happen, but any suggestions would be appreciated (esp thurough ones)

Would burning a solution of saltpeter, and adding the gases to hydrogen peroxide make dilute nitric acid.

1)Rotten eggs make the gas H2S (hydrogen sulfide) right? If I was to bubble this through water would I have this as an aqueous solution? 2)then could I perform electrolysis on the water and get the hydrogen and oxygen out? or would boiling the water be better and leave solid sulfur behind? 3)better yet is there any way from common household products or easily available products to get sulfur in a mostly pure form (its more interesting rather than buying it) 4) just out of curiosity is there any random store that sells pure sulfur

What is polar solution?

Before I do anything stupid, I would like some help. If I were to boil an aqueous solution containing Cl ions, what would happen? Would I have just the ions left? What form would they be in? Also would something different happen at a one temperature vs another?

First off, if I had vinegar *acetic acid* and I were to boil it at 105 degrees celcius, would this evaporate only the water and leave me with a more pure acetic acid? The boiling point of acetic acid is approx 118 degrees celcius. Also, is there a way to test, no pH, but actual acid strength?

why magnesium shows +2 state why dont it settle for +1. energy for +2 is 5 times higher

Does anyone know how to make concentrated hydrochloric acid? Are there common chemicals you can use to perhaps make hydrogen and chlorine then combine them to make the crystals and dissolve them in water?

Sodium Azide is the compound used to make airbags inflate. When it decomposes it produces nigrogen gas and sodium solid. Has anyone ever tried to take one of these things apart? There is a second reaction that takes place that uses up the sodium and also produces more nitrogen gas. Has anyone tried to isolate the Sodium Azide from the airbags then decompose it and then capture the sodium? How about making the air dehumidified? If the air temperature was below 0 degrees C would the humidity be reduced to practically nothing?

Hi, does anyone know at what minimum temperature magnetite is formed from ironoxide (in water with low-oxygen content)? Is it possible that Magnetobacter can play a role in this process?

I want to make some Bismuth oxide so that I can precipitate some Bismuth chloride later with it. How would I go about making to Bismuth oxide if the metal just melts when a flame is applied? Thanks, Kenneth Anderson

I saw a couple of threads with people asking about chlorate related questions so heres a guide roughly based on wouters guide. Note:take the same steps as preparing potassium chlorate to prepare barium chlorate. 1. Cell construction Anodes are the electrodes that don't bubble as much as the other electrode "the cathode". Since most metals will not produce chlorate when used as an anode only a handful of metals will work. Here is a list of all the anodes No other metal will work as an anode except for these. Platinum: Don,t waste this metal on chlorate production. Graphite or carbon rods: Graphite corrodes a lot especially when salt concentration's go down. C…

I'm sure that all of you know the experiment to find Ca2+ in ppm in a sample of hard water by titrating with edta using Eriochrome Black T as an indicator. During titration: H2Y2- (aq) + Ca2+ (aq) à CaY2- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) H2Y2- (aq) + Mg2+ (aq) à MgY2- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) At end point H2Y2- (aq) + MgIn- (aq) à MgY2- (aq) + HIn2- (aq) + H+ Wine-red sky-blue 1.The indicator reaction has to occur after the free Ca2+ or any free Mg2+ react. Why? 2.Hardness is traditionally expressed in mg CaCO3/L of water. Suppose that a water sample you analyzed contained mainly Mg2+, how would the calculation of hardness be affected? Explain. 3. Why [Mg-indicator]- is le…

I have an experiment that involves bubbling sulfur dioxide through ~40% nitric acid. Would silicone rubber tubes (from an aquarium store) be able to handle the nitric acid or would I need glass?

What would be the results of these different methods of electrolysis, all using water (and maybe a little NaCl) as the electrolyte: 1. Iron anode, Iron cathode 2. Iron anode, Copper cathode 3. Copper anode, Iron cathode 4. Iron anode, carbon cathode 5. Carbon anode, Iron cathode I am making Iron oxide and would like to know what really is going on and what methods do what. Ken

Will the flame produced by a Potassium chlorate/sugar reaction reach a high enough temperature to initiate a thermite reaction?

1)what is NUCLEOSYNTHESIS of LIGHT ELEMENT? where does it is happen? 2)what is the most little in number of element in the whole universe? and why?

I am wondering can you make a chlorate by electrolysis of the hypochlorite.
