What's the counter ion? Na+ or K+ probably. PH2O2Na + NaOH ---> PHO3Na2 + H2 I'd say it's acting like an acid since it's loosing it's H+. Though I haven't delt with this kinda question before so It be nice if someone could confirm this. **Though on the other hand it's not really acting like a Lewis acid since there really isn't any net gain or loss of electrons for the O or the H or the P. Really all that's happening is the OH swapping one covalent bond to it's hydrogen for one to the Phosphorus. P and H have almost identical electronegativities with P being higher but insignificantly so.** Acid would be my answer though.

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide not an alcohol. isoproply alcohol is rubbing alcohol.

Here's another one for you: Metabolic Load.

No, not at least how you're describing it. Like Mokele said already if you put something in a bacteria that doesn't benefit it, it WILL loose it pretty quickly. It's a plain and simple fact. Go read a microbiology text book or something.

I'd definatley try ethanol or isopropyl alcohols first. I'd be very hesistant about useing acetone as it will dissolve the finishing and may discolour the wood itself.

I believe so. Things behave different at the speed of light.

Aparently lifestyle has alot to do with it as well. As men and womens lifestyles have been changing life expectancy for men in catching up to women. Both are increasing but the rate that it's increasing for men is almost double that for women. This phenomenon has been observed in most first world countries. I don't remember the link to the US study but here's a report from sweden, it says about the same thing in that respect. http://www.socialstyrelsen.se/Publicerat/2001/2617/2001-111-2+Summary.htm Not to say that there isn't some biological basis for it as well.

Just curious Yggdrasil, but what inspired you to use a little know monosaccharide like D-Gulose for your avatar?

Not to mention that Real time PCR is a pretty nifty technique.

For the same reason as any research of course. To advance the body of scientific research. Adult stem cells act differently and therefore provide oportunities for research. Because stem cell research is still in it's infancy and it will be a few years till clinical trials even begin. It is only an emerging medical technology, these things take time to develop properly and safely.

Ummm I've never witness such a grand missuse of english vocabulary and grammar then in that first post. Serious, I couldn't even force myself to read more than two paragraphs without getting a headache. But maybe that's the trick use so many meaningless sentenses and it will force people to find their own meaning in it, making it sounds like you're actually saying much more than you are. Please if you mean to write sceince and expect people to respond then write like a normal human being. However if your intention is to write art, then call it poetry and leave it at that. Bettina: I'm amazed by your ability to reply so logically and intelligently to this "Honourable One" but I'd advise not to put much solace in what he's saying. He/She sounds either very metally troubled or just trying to give the impression of being much more intelligent than he is by (improperly) using a very flowery vocabulary.

I also remember an article about where they broken into a lab to free a bunch of ducks that were being used for research. Turns out these ducks had been caught because they were carrying a disease, and the research was being done to fight it. The just ended up introducing diseased animals to a previously clean area...

Ohhhhhh yeah

Application of Real-Time Relative PCR for Validation of Differential Expression of Genes in Rat

yes

Uhhhh I think one post on this question is enough. This thread should be closed.

Sorry I missed that. If you find out that your mom is B then that's OB or BB not just BB. Sometimes I miss things...

if the hydrogen was to leave with the electrons yeah it would have a positive charge but this wouldn't happen. Just to clear it up but what would likely happen is the hydrogen would remain, the nitrogen would then have a positive formal charge. This hydrogen would then be acidic and could easily be lost leaving behind a lone pair.

The first one is wrong. They screwed up the mechanism. There should be one less hydrogen on the carbon. The hydroxyl subtracts the hydrogen to give water and a double bond forms stabalising the carbon. The oxygen is left with a negative charge. Yeah the question is messed up. Just count the number of hydrogens there is an imbalance.

Sarahisme, there is a seperate forum for this. Could you please start posting these in the homework help form. You're really clogging this one up.

Yeah you could redraw it and move the hydrogens to positions that make it easier to visulize if that helps, just don't flip them to the other face of the ring. But it's not necessary really. All you have to realize is that the hydrogens are on the same side of the plane of the molecule and the alcohol groups are on the other side of the plane.

It's hard to see because of how it was drawn, visualizing the 3d representation in your head shows how it's meso. Here I've made a 3d render of it. Omiting unnecessary hydrogens. As you can see it's meso. It contains two chiral centre's but the molecule is actually achiral because of how their arranged.
