"Evolution has many mechanisms to eradicate unsuitable genetic traits from a species <sup>[1]</sup>.

This mostly involves the carrier of those genes dying before breeding <sup>[2]</sup>.

It can also be accomplished by disfigurement, including removal of crucial components of the breeding apparatus <sup>[3]</sup>"

You speak with experience. I respect that...not really. :)'

I tried the synthesis using muriatic acid, sodium hypochlorite and ammonium salt(In this case Ammonium Bicarbonate), but no NCl3 formed... First i reacted ammonium bicarbonate with excess muriatic acid, then mixed the solution with hypochlorite. The solution immediately turned green, but no NCl3 was formed.

I think that organic impurities in muriatic acid decomposed the NCl3(the smell of chlorine was really strong), but i'm not sure :mad:


Eh, I tried it too. It's also possible the concentrations simply weren't strong enough. I had the exact same thing happen to me this summer.


I think you are right. The muriatic acid was too weak, it doesn't even attack aluminium vigorously.

Someday i will try using pure conc. Hydrochloric acid(35%), ammonium bicarbonate and bleach.

Well, my muriatic acid is ~35% conc., just has a lot of iron in it.
I'll get to purifying it when I have a torch to bend glass and make a bubbler.
