@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 me :D

oops wrong chatroom ._.

@Chemobot I feel like kicking you now.

nooo

How does one call the mass of a marker calculated from its chromatography plot?

A "calculated mass"?

@CowperKettle "mass".

Why should we be specific?

?

> If the difference between the calculated and actual molecular mass for one of the markers exceeds ±10%, a fresh solution of this marker is prepared, then chromatographed twice, after which the average retention time for the marker is calculated and a new calibration curve is plotted.

I know very little about chromatography, so this may be a very awkward translation from Russian.

There's no technical word for this that I know. Just say "the mass, as the chromatography analyses indicate, is <some badass numbers>"

@CowperKettle You verbified "chromatography". DUDE

DUUUUUUDE

I googled, and it's okay

Actually, I love your translation, except for the verbification part.

"subjected to chromatography" is a bit off

@CowperKettle But not sciency.

I tried to compress it

I did not know we can calculate the molecular mass by measuring chromatographic peaks

@CowperKettle Eh, analytical chem is all about getting people's phone numbers from a bunch of irrelevant lines.

You can never know how powerful human interpretation of physical phenomenon can be.

@Chemobot Chemobot can talk? O___O

@TIPS I chromatographied all my substances …

@MAFIA36790 There is a lot of unintended the Indians — I’m guilty of it, too =C

@Jan including the precious bodily fluids?

^_^

Good evening!

Is anyone around?

!!img/formazanate

No result found.

Oh boy .__.

!!img/formazane

Ah, now that's helpful. Thanks @Chemobot

!!img/CHeMoBOTe

No result found.

What a shame =C

Oh … Why am I no longer porphyrin in chat?

@Jan you are for me

Hm. Reloaded and I am again.

Apparantly, my chat profile was linked to chemistry all along but changed back to German once I hit … actually no that doesn’t make even the slightest of sense. I have an avatar on German.

You can have different profile pictures?

@pentavalentcarbon of course

@TIPS Is that related to how when I modify my profile I get asked if I want to propagate the changes to all the Stack Exchange sites I'm on?

@Jan heh, you want a bug to make sense?

@pentavalentcarbon Precisely

You can also have different about me's.

@TIPS Which is also precisely what I have (CC @Pen)

Hmm, I'm boring, I don't really participate in other SEs, and barely this one...

@TIPS Actually, some bugs do make sense, if you figure out things like 'oh yeah, it just takes the user's top rep site and changes that every now and again'. But then I realised that my sense making wasn't making sense.

You can't be boring, you're @pentavalent! And a carbon! That's some interesting chemistry! ;)

@Jan Don't sense make sense make sense then.

@Jan I think carbon is very boring, and chemistry is kind of boring too...

@pentavalentcarbon so is the rest of the universe, really.

You're not missing out much.

all my organic friends think there's only something like 7 elements...

as opposed to the non-organic lifeforms I know

@pentavalentcarbon 7? That many?

I mean, there's carbon and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and chlorine … and … sodium exists in mass spectrometers and …

@Jan You aren't doing your people any favors right now, but I'll forgive you since your porphyrin is coordinated, though only half-points because it's closed-shell.

@Jan And krypton . . . ite.

I love doing my kind non-favours ;)

My friends mostly work for a boron lab. One uses rhodium or ruthenium, another tin.

Now being a little more serious, which elements did I actually use in my total synthesis to date?

unobtainium and handwavium?

Realistically, I'd guess not many. I find it pretty interesting how most of the elements only see one or two applications each, but they're very important in that role.

H, Li, B, C, N, O, F, Na, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Br, Ru, Pd, Ag, Sn, I, Ce, Yb.

I've also already used Os in a different synthesis™.

@Jan Interesting idea. I should read my thesis again and count the elements. :-)

@Loong Please do so, but please add a count for every radioactive isotope xD

ok

Ce and Yb? That's pretty interesting, I only know about them in ceramic superconductors.

Yb(OTf)3 is a Lewis acid required for Gooßen’s amide-alkyne addition and Ce is part of the 'yellow sperm' staining solution xD

Meaning I forgot Mo. Oh well.
