En kemiker siger fra...

Af Poul-Henning Kamp,  torsdag 25. feb 2010 kl. 10:14

Jeg stødte ind i en underholdende kemi-blog her til morgen, den er for god til ikke at dele med jer.

Start med Derek Lowe's liste over "Things I Wont Work With".

Citat:

[...]and remember that, in a thioacetone situation, fogging the area with brown nitrogen oxide fumes will actually improve the air.


Tip med hatten til B.C!

Er det tilfældigt, at han ligner dig? ;-)

Re: Derek Lowe

Ja det slog også mig.

Men jeg forstår Deriks indstilling og er efter min viv når hun blander sine rengøringshekse bryg :-)

Scary

Det er PH's forsvundne tvillingebror...

Mvh Morten

Godt fund, PHK!

Den side er godt nok underholdende. Hvad med f.eks. denne sætning:

"Hydrogen sulfide, for example, reacts with four molecules of FOOF to give sulfur hexafluoride, 2 molecules of HF and four oxygens. . .and 433 kcal, which is the kind of every-man-for-himself exotherm that you want to avoid at all cost."

433 kcal !!! Wow!

Bent.

He he...

Ja underholdende - f.eks. om ClF3's oxiderende "evner":

That means that it can potentially go on to “burn” things that you would normally consider already burnt to hell and gone, and a practical consequence of that is that it’ll start roaring reactions with things like bricks and asbestos tile.
(...) it’s bad enough when your reagent ignites wet sand, but the clouds of hot hydrofluoric acid are your special door prize

Hvad kan bruges det til?

Lavtemperaturraketter og måske elbiler på (ant)arktis?

Derek Lowe vil gerne lave en bog

Write A Book, Why Don't You

Posted by Derek

Yesterday's "Things I Won't Work With" post has brought on calls to turn these (and some other parts of the blog) into a book. And you know, I'm game, actually - but I have no real contacts in the publishing world. If anyone out there in the readership knows a good agent, or knows someone who does, I'd be glad to have some contact information. Thanks!

Re: He he...

eller:

Organometallic reagentss come from large tribes, and there are always wild cousins up in the hills.

Klasse - den mand kunne skrive en kemibog, der vil lokke en hel generation til at studere kemi!
