I wouldn't try this out. Shrapnel pictures due to the reaction of ethanol vapor with TCCA (acetaldehyde formation attempt) are seen on page 2 of this
thread: http://www.versuchschemie.de/hartmut.php?t=12979 The blast seen there was due to ethyl hypochlorite which accumulated and exploded.
A mixture of 30 to 35% pure calcium hypochlorite and absolute alcohol is reported to warm up on its own. Sandmeyer has distilled ethanol with calcium
hypochlorite and obtained chloroform-containing ethyl hypochlorite. Sandmeyer characterized ethyl and methyl hypochlorite in the literature. The
organic hypochlorites thread has more info: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=1896
The 'chlorine bomb' is due to virgorous exothermic oxidation of the alcohol releasing gases, of which organic hypochlorites might contribute to the
explosion.

What is the difference between xylitol and arabitol? Why are they different isomers? Should they both not be able to interconvert with eachother since
there are no unsaturated bonds?

No, these are chiral compounds. If you make models of the two, you will find that there is no way to overlap them atom by atom, regardless of how many
bonds you rotate. The only way to interconvert them is by breaking and making bonds.
Chiral alcohols similar to xylitol and arabitol can be interconverted by oxidizing them to the ketone, then reducing them back to the alcohol. If this
is done under achiral conditions, you will obtain a mixture of the R and S isomer, but this is such a useful interconversion that there are a wide
variety of reaction conditions available to let you choose which isomer your reaction produces. I don't know whether this interconversion has been
published for this particular substrate.

Calcium Nitrate with out Nitric Acid
What is the best way to synthesize Calcium Nitrate with out using nitric acid...
NaNO<sub>3</sub> + CaCO<sub>3</sub> = Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> + Ca(NO<sub>3</sub> <sub>2</sub>
Extract by the solublility but still bad contamination
NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> + Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> = NH<sub>4</sub>OH +
Ca(NO<sub>3</sub><sub>2</sub>
Extract by Decomposing the Ammonium Hydroxide and leave Calcium Nitrate
NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> + CaCO<sub>3</sub> = (NH<sub>4</sub><sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> + Ca(NO<sub>3</sub><sub>2</sub>
Extract by decomposing Ammonium Carbonate and leaving Calcium Nitrate
Are there any possible routes other then i said up the top?

Perhaps refluxing calcium carbonate, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide together.
| Quote: Originally posted by Formatik | | conditions can ammonia be oxidized to NH4NO2, the Ber. ref. from Hoppe-Seyler describes it... strong solutions of H2O2 with a few drops of NH4OH or
solutions of ammonium carbonate (with or without NaOH or Na2CO3) can be let to stand 24 hours without any nitrite formation occurring. But upon longer
standing, even with a small amount of hydroxide then nitrite forms. H2O2 forms (even in very dilute solutions) nitrite very rapidly, if the H2O2
solution is mixed with a few drops of NH4OH and a little NaOH or Na2CO3, and this then boiled in a retort to a very small volume. They suggest this
nitrite formation as a demonstration experiment because it is very quick to do, and then after acidification of the colorless liquid with H2SO4, the
HNO2 can be nicely be proven to be present. Excess H2O2 would oxidize the NH4NO2 to NH4NO3. |

So in other words, Calcium Carbonate and Ammonium Nitrate would work? just heap both up untill Calcium nitrate forms, and then boil off the Ammonia?

Is there much UV absorption to the silicone rubbers? They share the Si-O linkage with quartz like materrials and if one were to speculate from this
the conclusion coud be its unlikely they absorb (the silicone rubbers that is). Does anyone know of additives for the rurbbers that allow they to
absorb if in fact they don't. Any links to good sites on this topic woud be appreciated.

Because the inside air is very dry. If you stick your hand inside, the equilibrium is greatly shifted towards the evaporation of water from your hand,
which requires energy that hand readily provides.
It's the same, whether it's winter or summer. If the desiccant is very strong, like it ought to be, you'll experience a cool sensation.

Does anyone know the resonance frequency of the Benzene ring, IE: What frequency of Electromagnetic radiation would effect it in a similar fashion
that Microwaves resonate NH3?
I post a more complex question once I get a responce to this one.

Does anyone know if one could use and over-head stirrer type assembly(greased metal bar) through a rubber septum for an air-tight seal? If not is
there any cheap quick DIY fix?

It would only be air-tight if there is not much pressure difference and if the hole was well cut and tight. If you use a balloon to keep the internal
overpressure, then the air-tightness is not much of a problem (if inert atmosphere is all you need, rather than trying to control gas leakage).
A too wide diameter of the shaft might also cause friction related problems. You might just as well use a radial shaft seal of the corresponding size.
It would also do a better job in keeping the spinning shaft aligned to prevent rough vibrations.

Vacuum or over pressure?
For vacuum, a ground glass joint, the minimum size that fits your shaft, once perfectly in place and firmly clamped can be packed out with teflon
tape. Basically tie the teflon tape onto the shaft above the joint, turn on the stirrer and with tenion let the tape unwind down the shaft, build up a
knob that will creep down into the cavity between the shaft and the joint, applying tighter tenion from time to time pushes the knob down until it has
filled the joint.
Take some practice but is quite simple to master. You can then lower the shaft further if wear occurs duing your run. Placement of hose clamp above
he knob wll help with creep upwards in case you haven't got the tension right.
Over pressure is trickier.

Is there a reason balloons seem to be used for these pressure situations and not just the regulator from the cylinder directly?

I assume a balloon is used because it can handle overpressures generated within your system (from heat or generated gas). Sometimes reducing the input
flow of gas to zero is not enough.

Because they are flexible. If the pressure rises in your system, the balloon expands, if the pressure falls the balloon contracts, and if it goes too
far in either direction the balloon breaks. You don't put excessive force on any of your expensive glassware.

I was wondering if some one could answer a question on butyl lithium reagents.
Sauron posted a quite controvercial Suzuki based synthesis that required the metalation of a halo indole
with tert butyl lithium so as to make the boronic acid.
I belive this was due to the inability of a grignard to form with the halide rather than working with the
indolic nitrogen.
Is it possible to use other lithium reagents for instance the less reactive and less pyrophoric n butyl lithium
for this kind of reaction.
my personal beliefe would be yes but as of yet I have very little working experiance with lithium compounds
other than methyl lithium.
having read a reasonable chunk of the chemistry of organolithium compounds I found that differnt
butyl isomers make for different sites in the molecule being metalated.
would this also be true when a halogen is the target of metalation ?

Is there any other regent that can substitute for hydrogen iodide HI for selectively reducing ketones?
Something not as harsh as NaBH4, but easier to prepare than AlH3. I read that SH2 is actually a weaker reducing agent than anhydrous HI.
How does PH3 and SiH4 compare?

Hi, can someone please help me write a balanced equation for the reaction of lead(II)acetate with sodium bicarbonate which, yields basic lead
carbonate(Pb3(OH)2(CO3)2 .
I am having a hard time balancing this reaction I think the hydroxide part of the carbonate is throwing me off. Some guidance will be greatly
appreciated.

Lead(II) Acetate + Sodium Bicarbonate
okay I think I finally figured it out: here's what I got
3Pb(CH3OO)2(aq) + 6NaHCO3(s) --> Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2(s) + 6NaCH3OO(aq) + 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
