So I was reading my book and came across these lines, " Wax is insoluble in water and made out of unsaturated fatty acids. They're chemically inert as their hydrocarbon chains don't have any double bonds ". Now, this is where they lost me, how can a fatty acid be unsaturated and the wax molecule not have double bonds at the same time?
I know that the standard reason in textbooks is that their valence shells are full, but why should that in turn cause them to be chemically inert? What is it about full valence shells that causes atoms to be inert?
I guess another way of asking the same question would be: what is the deeper reason for the octet rule in Chemistry?
Modern chemical warfare involves a large variety of acidic, basic, and otherwise reactive chemicals, but at least since equipment is not adequately protected against these on all surfaces. The MAR had already developed a series of very inert materials, capable of withstanding virtually all chemical attacks, in the nanobotshield system, but this has not been widely deployed on material.
The MAR will develop two new types of paint: a clear, very thin, very strong self applying carbyne weave, usable on components that undergo mechanical stress, as well as a traditional paint (available in many colors, as long as the color you want is green or Sandy Brown). These paints offer improved mechanical strength as well as almost complete invulnerability to chemical attacks.
Development time is set for 6 months, at a cost of $1 billion, simplified by the existing nanobot Shield technology. The new paint will be deployed across all MAR assets.
Hi all!
If all goes well, I'll be receiving an assortment of RCs within the upcoming week or two. Since I don't trust my scale below 100mg or so, I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on safe powders to use to cut the RCs with; I want to put them in capsules. I don't want to use anything sugary, such as candy, and I don't want to use anything with other effects, such as powder laxitive.
Is there anything that fits this criteria?
Many thanks!
If I exposed Florine or Chlorine to beta particles then would I get "pure" mono-atomic gas that is as non-reactive as noble gases?
None of the sites or textbooks I've looked at have had an answer to this. The closest I've gotten to an answer is that it's a long chain alkane so it is highly unreactive.
I use a high build spray material used in the composites industry. It lists many chemicals talking about genetic defects, damaging fertility, can we and more. h340 H351 H361 H373 etc.
When I spray it I wear a OV respirator and wear gloves, but after it has dried over night, I sand it with bare hands (still wearing respirator).
To what extent are dangerous chemicals Used in the liquid form, and become inert after drying, and to what extent are the chemicals still present in dried powder that will be sanded?
I know this is a general question, but if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
