Fuzzwood Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 In case you are going this information to acquire more of this substance, coupled with your writing style, it would be a good idea for your own health and direct environment NOT to tell you the substance's name.

spin-1/2-nuclei Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello, Please don't go around lighting random unknown chemicals on fire unless your lab demonstrator and/or your professor tells you to do so. The analytical tests in the unknowns lad at your UNI or high school are carefully designed by your prof, attempting to identify unknown compounds outside of a lab setting could be potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. If you'd like an answer to your question then you can simply type your observations into google and that should provide you with the desired answer. If - after you've found the answer to this question you'd like some more info - or an explanation or why certain things occur or do not occur - please post again and I would be happy to point you in the right direction. Best of luck with your studies.. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzwood Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) In that case, I'd like to quote the forum rules instead: Grammar and Punctuation Please try to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation when you post. It is much easier to understand a post when it is not full of run-on sentences and such. Sure, this may add a few seconds to the time it takes to post, but are you in that much of a hurry? What is your alchemic experiment about? Edited September 4, 2011 by Fuzzwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your alchemic experiment about? I believe this person is bilingual. As english is not my first language I do sympathize, but I am still concerned about the skill level of the OP as I am always reluctant to give anything but theoretical advice to people with limited training in chemistry. Even the most basic acid/base experiment can result in injuries if the person is not properly trained. Perhaps it would be easiest if the OP would post the procedure he/she is quoting or whatever reference he/she is using instead of explaining it in his/her own words, that way we can more easily overcome the language barrier...

mississippichem Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Transmutation of metals doesn't happen by any chemical process. Only nuclear fission and fusion. Alchemy has been a dead art for at least four centuries now. Your efforts are much better spent in real chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
