Mmm.
I am always a bit concerned when someone who can't balance an ionic formula starts playing around with significant quantities of energetics.
Be aware also that barium compounds are toxic to humans and the environment. Make sure you manage the risks and have a dispisal plan.

Why does the nitrate ion exist?
The obvious answer is, because it does.
But the charge distributions make no sense to me
(I get the idea of resonance but don't understand why the ion is stable)
(is it the surrounding water molecules that stabilise it?)
anyone have an answer that I might understand?

Symmetry!
Nitrate has three resonances:
(ON+(O-)O- + O-N+(O)O- + O-N+(O-)O) / sqrt(3)
According to the uncertainty principle, the more space an electron orbital occupies, the smaller the associated kinetic energy it requires to be
admissible. It's got nothing to do with water molecules or other coordinations; the stability of alkali metal nitrates increases with ion size:
CsNO3 > RbNO3 > KNO3 > NaNO3 > LiNO3
with CsNO3 stable to around 700 C and LiNO3 decomposing below 400 C. Of course, this is precisely opposite to the coordination strength of the ions.
And indeed the hydrogen compound is already slowly decomposing at room temperature.

Iron (II) sulfate
I bought some sulfate of iron fertilizer from a garden centre wit the aim of purifying it to some FeSO4 crystals. When dissolved in water there was
allot of light brown material which passed through my filter so I left it to settle for 24 hours.
I managed to pour off a nice green coloured solution and discarded the brown sludge.
I then tried to boil some of this down with the idea to drop out some crystals of iron sulfate.
What I notice is that as it is heated and concentrated I get a brown residue on the beaker and my solution become more cloudy. Is Iron II Sulfate
difficult to purify? I see it might produce brown oxides in the presence of water.
Would I be better pouring it all into a big bucket and simply allowing it to evaporate over a few weeks to grow crystals?

The brown crud is from oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III), which happily precipitates as various forms of rust. You might try adding excess sulphuric
acid to prevent this.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

You are of course right, I just added some sulphuric acid to my hot boiling solution and it has gone from brown to green! I am learning!

PS- if you're looking to get crystals, rather than just purifying the compound, I believe double salts such as (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 give better crystals
than the plain sulphate.

I don't think so, or only with great difficulty. ThO2, like many other oxides, is quite inert if it is calcined.
When it is freshly prepared from aqueous solution, then you have some hydrous form ThO2.xH2O, which easily dissolves in acids. These hydrous oxides
(or mixed oxides/hydroxides??) are quite different from the anhydrous calcined oxides.

Could molecular sieves be used to dry nitric or sulfuric acids? I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work for nitric, but I’m probably
missing something.

Never mind. I just tried it with some azeotropic nitric acid and it completely destroyed the sieves.

...trying to find the name the 4-amine of 2-tertbutylamine-1-pheny ethanol,...can;t seem to get the right name so i can get some specs and physical
properties....could use some help!! ...solo
note:
its something like this..
4-amino-N-(tert-butyl)benzamide , but its an amine

Lmao. Remember that mol sieves are usually NaAlSiO4.

It doesn't. There's a real pump inside the pond. You can see that, when he plugs the inlet tube, the end of the tube that's inside the water gets
lodged in something. Also, there's a (crude) jump cut from 11:13 to 11:14. Just look at the other pond in the background (top right corner). It
suddenly gets brighter.
Let's make a simple calculation. He claims that the thing is able to pump 280 m3 in one hour. One m3 is equal to 1000 L, so the
rate is 280000 L of water per hour. It amounts to 280000/60=4666,7 L per minute, or 280000/3600=77,8 L per second. Almost 80 liters of water on each
second. Using a fridge compressor. Of course it doesn't work.
Bullshit, scam, clickbait. Call it whatever you want. If you don't believe me, his next video should convince you:
For Chrissake.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US1641005A/en
Why in this patent is mentioned a molar equivalent of alcohol is used to a molar equivalent of sulfuryl chloride but in the equation 2 molar of
alcohol is used?

Thanks bnull,
Perhaps the 'for christsakes' should be directed at my too!
I did notice the LARGE 280m^3
There a a few more dudes going with the same idea. Is it for the ad's and they get paid?
Anyhow reading the comments I had to laugh. Most not in english so I cannot understand.
'According to fluid mechanics, this is impossible. Are you hiding a pump somewhere?'
Some not so great english but funny.

Yep. And the subscribers. The chances of a subscriber watching their crap are greater than a random dude who simply gets it recommended by YouTube.
More views=>more subscribers=>more money. And as the chances of their "content" getting demonetized are remote, they keep doing that. That's
sad, to be honest.
@mr_bovinejony: The formula says that one mole of sulfuryl chloride reacts with two moles of ethanol. The molecular equivalent is the quantity that
reacts with one molecule of ethanol. For one molecule of ethanol you would need half molecule of SO2Cl2, which sounds pretty
weird until you notice that its about molar masses and not real molecules. It's the same as equivalent weight or equivalent mass.
Beginning at line 42, one molecular equivalent of SO2Cl2 means half mole. You have half mole of sulfuryl chloride to one mole of
ethanol. In lines 86-89, he uses double the amount of sulfuryl chloride to make sure there's no ethyl hydrogen sulfate left in the solution. Better
safe than sorry, I suppose.
The patent is from 1927, and the mole became a standard unit only in the early 1970s. The books I learned chemistry from were printed in the late
1950s/early1960s and I had to adjust to using moles in high school.

This is probably a bit of a stretch but I vaguely remember a procedure with triphosgene that says it can be heated at 80c to release a very slow
stream of the gas, the most controllable reaction with the stuff I have read about. It may have been in a phosgene book but I can't find it. Anyone
have any idea where this idea may have come from?

Are you sure you're not confusing the decomposition temperature with the melting point? Triphosgene melts at 80 °C and starts decomposing above 200
°C. It can be used as a phosgene substitute in the presence of a nucleophile (Heiner Eckert; Barbara Forster (1987). "Triphosgene, a Crystalline Phosgene Substitute". Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 26 (9): 894–895). That sort
of fits your description.

No, not confusing the two. It also mentioned stopping the reaction was as easy as removing the heat and letting it become a solid again. But it seems
likely that 80c wasn't the right temperature I was thinking of. It was certainly lower than 160 though.
