  1. I am trying to determine the feasibility of applying electroluminescent paint to my computer case as a mod. I have not been able to find as much as I would like about the specifics of the compounds needed nor whether or not they lend themselves to being applied easily. As I currently understand it electroluminescence requires, usually, at a minimum 4 layers. A dark colored conductive layer, a insulating layer, a phosphor layer, and a transparent conductive layer. I have not been very successful in finding places to acquire these compounds. Can anyone give me any advice in my endeavor?

  2. Yeah, I've already done the coin thing before, earlier this year we did it with a dime. Also last year we made them "gold"(just zinc plated and then heated, brass) I have however found a lab that i think I am going to use, you can check it out Here If anyone knows the equation for the reaction that takes place it would be helpful.

  3. I am an 11th grade student who just finished the AP Chem test. My teacher has everyone pick out a lab to do for a final grade. I was wondering if anyone knew of(or where to look for) a challenging lab that was interesting(maybe covers a topic that isnt usually covered in an AP Chem class) that is doable in about an hour and a half, and can be done in an average High School Chem room.

  4. Sound would affect the equilibrium becasue if you add kinetic energy the reaction would equalize towards the endothermic side by la chatelier's principle

     

    I was thinking that maybe I could create a setup that allows me to measure the pH of a solution with and without sound input. The question I am really posing is:

    1. Is this in any way practical

    2. If so how should the speaker be setup next to the solution or somehow in it?

    3. How sensitive would the equipment have to be to detect this change. Would a thermometer sensitive to a tenth of a degree C be able to pick up the change?

    4. Does anyone have a better setup to determine this?

  5. since at all times some water is dissociating as:

    [math]

    \ce{H2O <=> H3O+ + OH-}

    [/math]

     

    Could a substance [math]XA[/math] where [math]XA[/math] is a soluble gas or solid so that:

    [math]

    \ce{XA <=> X+ + A-}

    [/math]

    when combined with water. And that it then reacts as:

    [Math]

    \ce{X+ + OH- <=> XOH_{(g)} or_{(s)}}

    [/math]

    and where:

    [math]

    \ce{H3O+ + A- <=> H3OA}

    [/math]

    either does not take place or has an extremely small equillibrium constant so that the water's Ph goes down by using up the hydroxide without any additional acid?

    If so what substance would [math]XA[/math] be and if not, why not?

  6. I would like an explanation on how to go about solving these two. I am having some trouble.

     

    24. In 1975, the U.S. EPA set a standard of 50 ppb of lead in drinking water. In 1991, a new standard was set that safe water contains less than 15 ppb.

    a.Write each of these rates as fractions using positive powers of 10

    b.Write each rate without fractions, using negative powers of 10

  7. I've been doing experiments in his room with his approval for 4 years. Beginning with yellow phosporus and moving to explosives. Also, Nave, take a look at your sig

    why would our chem teacher whos been teaching for 25+ years let us do this huh?

  8. Troy

    A system historically used for measuring the weight of drugs, precious metals and gemstones. The name comes from the French city of Troyes.

    480 grains = 1 ounce troy

    31.1035 grams = 1 ounce troy

    12 troy ounces = 1 troy pound

    20 pennyweights (dwt) = 1 ounce troy

    1 pound = 373.242 grams

    1 pound = 5760 grains

     

     

    I guess it's tradition

  9. First off i don't want this to turn into a flame war on whether ametuers should be using dangerous chemicals. The thing about what we have is that is DOES NOT EXPLODE as easily as you say, it only explodes when exposed to organic compounds, not when light is shined on it, nor the heat from the light.
