Without looking at the electronegativity difference, is there a way? submitted by /u/THE_Hypnotist100 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Per title. Xanthates (liquid form) decompose under various conditions (acidic pH, light, high temp, etc.) What I am looking for is potentially using additives that can retard the decomposition. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. If you know any industrial player who supplies such additives, I will accept that as well. Thank you! submitted by /u/Remarkable_Doubt8765 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Ok hear me out. I had always thought that if you were to become the mirror image of yourself (or similarly join a mirrored world) it would not change much. True, maybe your heart would be on the wrong side, you would need to readapt to which part of your body you want to control, maybe re-learn vision... but that's it. Buuut, there are enantiomers. If you are a mirror of your former self all your composing molecules become their enantiomers... but also relatively to you all components outside are shifted. Are you then in any danger ? Is there something in air, water, food... that could become ..read more

I was synthesizing an auxin analogue , indole acetic acid. I found that my product was broken when performing flash column chromatography. It says that indoleacetic acid is unstable to light and acid but I want to know what it will become. submitted by /u/Small-Confection-442 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi there, I'm a nutritionist trying to create my own electrolytes with good success so far. But I'm a bit puzzled by certain phases of reactions and when they take place. For instance I've formulated potassium citrate by mixing potassium bicarbonate and citric acid and balanced the equation and done the measurements and thats gone well. But when mixing multiple bases together to create an electrolyte complex containing magnesium, potassium and calcium. I'm unsure if mixing bases like magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate with citric acid and malic acid to create, calcium c ..read more

This paper claims that the oxidizer in their system is iodine that is formed when triiodide is exposed to an organic solvent, however their source for this claim seems to contradict their statement. If the equilibrium constant for triiodide formation is high in organic solvents, wouldn't that mean triiodide is likely the only species present in the system? And would triiodide then be serving as the oxidizer? I would love if someone could let me know if I am understanding this right or help clarify it for me! https://preview.redd.it/566a4h729uwc1.png?width=1228&format=png&auto=webp ..read more

Buffer 7 and 4 are always right around their correct pH before and after calibrating but 10 always shows about 9.86 (which is incorrect based on the buffer 10 accounting for the temperature range given) before calibrating, giving a “90%” calibration result on the instrument. Am I doing something wrong? I’m using an Apera instrument and probe. Replaced the probe. Replaced the buffer (using Biopharm and bought another from Innovating Science). Instrument shows ~25 C. Buffers are not expired. Is this normal or am I making a stupid mistake? Thanks for the help submitted by /u/Brushatti [visit re ..read more
