Inorganic Chemistry

I've obtained alot of NaOCl (s) And I was wondering if there is any useful or cool things I could use it for? Any suggestions?

Ok, so i plan to be makin some of this tonight ( ), i was all set to go, when i read something conflicting... previously, i was expecting to mix the chemicals 8:3 (that being 8 grams iron oxide to 3 parts aluminium) and while there have been several variation i have read about, on th whole they are fairly consistent, usualy around 1:3. However, i have now found 2 wources that say the ratio sould be 3:1 ( 3 grams iron oxide to 1 gram aluminium) can someone please clear this up for me? What is the best ratio for the thermite reaction? i am using Fe203 btw, not Fe204. Thanks in advance.

since they`re usualy a Ceramic material, does anyone know if they`re chemicaly reactive or not (most ceramics are Not)? and IF we do eventualy develop one that will work at room temp, what potential (excuse the pun) might it serve as an electrode in a Battery?

What cool things can i do with sulphur??? can it react with water???? how do i make sulphuric acid???????????? does it react with zinc??????????

how the heck are carbonates basic? sounds dumb but yah, wheres the OH, hows it made?

how do you determine the reactivity of transition metals....???

Does anyone kno how to isolate sulfur??????????

i made a saturated solution of MgSO4 and i passed an elelctric current through it. on the negetive electrode, bubbles started forming rapidly. also, little flakes would fall off (it wasn't corroding tho). on the positive electrode, a yellow precipitate was falling off. i need an explanation. is this a good way to isolate sulfur? or could the sulfur be rreacting with something else? please help

For people, who are fascinated by strange and obscure compounds, have a look at this reaction with very common chemicals, but with a really strange result. http://woelen.scheikunde.net/science/chem/riddles/thiocyanate+nitrite/index.html I have had some discussion about this reaction recently and it appears that a compound, called nitrosyl isothiocyanate (ON-NCS) is formed in this reaction. This stuff is supposed to form a polymeric species, giving rise to the dark brown color in the liquid. This stuff also is supposed to escape from the liquid as a gas, where it decomposes as follows: ON-NCS ---> ONN + CS The compound with structure ONN is the we…

What are the products from the electrolysis of molten lead(II) nitrate? It seems to me that it's rather difficult for nitrogen atom to lose another electron from its first electron shell again, but what's supposed to be the product? Moreover, what will be the product from electrolysis of molten lead)II) sulphate?

Since CuSO4 is such a common chemical, I thought that this page would be a good one to have posts about things that you can do with it.

Which soils are abundant in somewhat pure form in nature ? Like lime, chalk, sand, what others ?

I did a nice experiment, in which I made two interhalogen compounds. Making one of them react with magnesium metal also is quite spectacular. I did the experiment last weekend and below follows a report with pictures of the experiment: http://81.207.88.128/science/chem/exps/Cl+I/index.html If you want to perform the experiment yourself, be very careful. Carefully read the info on safety in the experiment's description. Have fun, but keep things safe and healthy!

Why are chlorine kept in yellow cylinders? The chlorine is suppose to be in liquid state at low temperature and pressure. :eek: :eek:

Hey guys. This past week I had some free time and decided to make some sodium iodide from my extra sodium metal and iodine. I photographed the entire experiment and have written an article for it at a website I help run. I thought I'd mention it to you guys here since we seem to have a lot of people here who like to do little experiments like this every now and then. The article can be found at this link which is the website I work at.

Hi, my questions are, if you want to titrate ammonia ion NH4+ with H3PO4, firstly, the h3po4 is triptopic.. meaning it yields 3 hydrogen ions per molecule. IS THIS TRUE? secondly, the original equation is NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH- Now, titrating this base with H3PO4, i believe the equation of titration would be: NH4+(aq) + 3OH-(aq) + H3PO4(aq) --> 3H2O(l) + (NH4)3PO4(aq) is (NH4)3PO4 a likely product? or would it be (nh4)2HPO4?

wat happens in the reaction of Cacl and Nahco3 wen water is added . i believe co2 is evolved.

Hi erm... i was wondering if i could get sum help wid dis.... the mportance of water’s properties to life forms...so far i've got its ability to dissolve substances, its high heat capacity, water's density, surface tension and all dat..... does anyone know any other ones??? with details plz..

It seems to me that ice and water and water vapour should all be classified as different allaltropes of h20. What is it that they are not?

What properties of NH4(SO4)2 made it a good fertilizer? Why should we not add CaO to the plant immediately after adding NH4(SO4)2 to the plant? :-) P.S NH4(SO4)2 is added to the plant in dry crystals.

Can anyone tell me what is the white salt obtained after boiling household bleach like Chlorox ? Is it Potassium Chlorate ? What is the gas given off ? Note that I got it after boiling all of the liquid off !!!

Is there any chance that something like this could work?

What is the colour of AgOCl? What is the colour of OCl- ions in water? I need help now!!! Please help me...

Ok so I was perusing the ads section of popular science (some of it's cool, some of it's just wacko) and I came across an "ad for information" regarding a new technology that supposedly alters the chemical formation of water. The ad itself was poorly written (didn't give any scientific evidence at all) and just had one reported quote from a professor who exclaimed that this new product altered the angle between the two H atoms in a water molecule by 10 degrees. The writers claim that the angle is now 114 degrees. What I was wondering was; Is any of this scientifically possible? If so, what implications could it have in the real world? Just bottle it as "freaky w…

my theroy behind this is that oxygen and hydrogen if cold enough will liquify,correct, so whos sayin that if u get ice cold enough say {50.35K -222.65°C -368.77°F} wouldd the oxygen particles liqufiy leaving a hydrogen shell or what. this is the only serious whole in my theroy.
