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

Ja det slog også mig.
Men jeg forstår Deriks indstilling og er efter min viv når hun blander sine rengøringshekse bryg :-)

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!

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

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!
