I don't know how to say it..

 

dee oxey rhybo sss new klee ick acid.

 

i dunno.. after learning multiple languages my brain is scattered.

 

someone got a soundwave?

come on, just sound it out. ;p

honestly, i have no idea how you're trying to pronounce it right now. Try a more standard pronunciation guide. I can tell you one thing though- 'sss' is never a syllable by itself.

ose like in sugar? sucralose...

sucralose?

You mean sucrose, I can only assume.

Try

dee-OXY-ribo new-CLAY-ick

Biohazard, it's normally spelt, and said as, deoxyribonucleic acid nowadays.

 

NeonBlack, sucralose is an artificial sweetener.

ose like in sugar? sucralose...

sucralose is an artificial sweetener

 

Is it sugar?

No, it is not strictly a sugar, as sugars are carbohydrates that contain only C, H and O. Sucralose is made by chlorinating sucrose, which is the sugar in table sugar. Sucralose is trademarked as Splenda.

dee-oxy ribose newclayic acid

Deoxyribonucleic : dē-ŏk'sē-rī'bō-nū-klē'ĭk

Acid :'a-s&ī'd

I hope that this solves ur problem, cause if not then nothing can help!!

apostrophies seperate sylables, underlines indicate emphasis, dash = draw end of sylable out, and . = slight pause inbetween sylables:

 

dee'ox'ee'rI'bow'new'clay'ic.a'sid

 

" rI " is pronounsed as a soft 'eye' with a short, lower-case 'r' sound at the beginning, hence rI (or r eye, i suppose), as in riot or bride (not as in rib or frisbee)

 

its normaly broken down into 4 'bits' when spoken: 'deoxy ribo nucleic acid', although iv heard it said with more emphasis on, and an elongation of, the 'rI' bit of ' rI'bow ' , with a little gap in before the 'bow', like this:

 

deoxy ri-bo nucleic acid

 

or

 

dee'ox'ee'rI--.bow'new'clay'ic.a'sid

 

or you could just pronounce it dee.en.ay

I thought that any (most?) chemicals that end in -ose are sugars. So fructose is a sugar, right? So Bio-Hazard is correct in calling sucralose "sugar" but by not using "a" or "table" in front of sugar, he was being ambiguous.

dee ock see rai bau noo klay ick ass idd

 

Is better than Aluminium: "aloo min um" (American) vs "aloo min ee um" (English) and the letter "Z".

 

Countries have gone to war for less, you know...

 

;-p

DNA

Is better than Aluminium: "aloo min um" (American) vs "aloo min ee um" (English) and the letter "Z".

I live in america, and I think "aloo min ee um" sounds much cooler

Yeah, we pronounce it according to the way it's spelt.

 

It took me long enough to learn pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-coniosis.

As you can see sucralose is a modified form of sucrose with Cl in place of 3 hydroxyl groups. This prevents it from being metabolised.

 

Also it can no longer be considered a suger, as was pointed out by Moleke, since it no longer contains JUST C,O, and H.

Does it react with sodium to make saltwater?

 

Or is that just plain silly...?

nice thinking, but i suspect thats unlikely.

 

Weak HCL reacts with Na to make salt water, and that aint HCl

Oh yeah. It's been too long since I did basic chemistry.

 

Actually I think it would work. Though you'd get salt water with sucrose in it.

If you put it in solution, first the sodium will react with the H20 (assuming a large excess of water) to give you NaOH (evolving hydrogen which would ignite instantly) which would react to give you sucrose plus NaCl.

So you'd get salty sweet water.

That's what I first thought, then I noticed that there wasn't any carbon in that molecule...

Lol there is plenty of carbon Silly.

 

In Organic Chemistry at every point where two black lines meet there is a carbon atom, plus if there is a line with no indicated atom on the end there is a carbon there.

So if you count there are 12 carbon atoms total.

 

On a side note once all the chlorine was used up the NaOH would start reacting with the sucrose to produce a Sodium sucrate salts, but there is already a post on that so I wont go into it.

just say DNA its simplier
