Q: Can site users suggest some design specifications regarding graduated site development

So here comes a good news that Chemistry SE is graduating soon. Chemistry Stack Exchange has a steady flow of high quality questions and answers, and a growing number of users contributing to site health and maintenance. You're on a consistent upward trend, and the Community Team (of which I ...

DemCodeLines

12:04

Anyone here?

tschoppi

@DemCodeLines yeah, hi :)

DemCodeLines

12:21

Hi I need help combing elements

For example, combine MgCO3 and HCl

@tschoppi ^

tschoppi

Uhm, what exactly do you mean by combining? MgCO3 is not an element...

DemCodeLines

That's one of the questions on the homework and I don't know how to do it

tschoppi

So you want to know the reaction of those two compounds?

Are we talking about condensed or gas phase?

DemCodeLines

Well the product.

tschoppi

(j/k, I'd like to see you get MgCO3 into the gas phase...)

So aqueous solution?

DemCodeLines

12:27

Idk what that means

tschoppi

Are your compounds dissolved in water?

DemCodeLines

That info isn't given

tschoppi

Well, then you have two options.

Either you let HCl gas flow over solid MgCO3, or you do the whole thing in water.

LordStryker

@tschoppi oh you

tschoppi

Which one is more likely is tied to the solubility of the reactants.

Alternatively, you just search the internet. The reaction you want is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_carbonate

LordStryker

12:33

boom

tschoppi

MgCO3 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2O + CO2

heeeey @LordStryker!

LordStryker

<o

\o

:)

heya doing?!

tschoppi

Failed my exams, I'm currently retaking classes for the whole year

It's really interesting to see how well you're able to categorize the knowledge they throw at you in class when you've already been through the examination process once...

But it means I've got more time to spare, so I've got that going for me... Which is nice :)

And you? Teaching undergrads or something? Fun stuff, eh?

LordStryker

damn sorry to hear that @tschoppi

Yeah 400 of em. Great times.

tschoppi

By the way, that friend of yours never got to me...

LordStryker

12:38

no worries. She may have changed her mind or something (that is not uncommon with her) :P

Q: Correct way to combine compounds?

This is a homework question, but I don't know how it's solved. The question is to "combine MgCO3 and HCl." I have an answer sheet that says the answer to this question is: MgCO3 + HCl -> MgCl2 + CO2 + H2O I don't understand how that answer was found.

ionic-compounds

LordStryker

@DemCodeLines I am sooooo tempted to leave an answer saying "MgCO3HCl -- There you go!"

DemCodeLines

I really need an explanation of that question and answer.

LordStryker

@tschoppi you have time to write up the answer?

tschoppi

@DemCodeLines It's really more of a homework answer that would attract close-votes in microseconds. You better write out clearly what in particular you don't understand about the question and the process for arriving at the answer.

LordStryker

12:45

^@tschoppi is correct about that

tschoppi

@LordStryker I do. But I'll wait for the edit to roll in first.

Omen

hi

LordStryker

heya @Omen

Omen

how is everyone?

tschoppi

hey :)

not too shabby, and you?

LordStryker

12:46

Wonderful. I cut myself shaving this morning so I have a gnarly red wound on my face lol

Omen

I am just floating around the various sites, seeing if I can answer questions

@LordStryker that is a regular occurrence for me

LordStryker

@Omen Apparently Astra blades don't like my face

I need to stick to Derby

Omen

I am trying to use psychokinesis to shave,... not really working

DemCodeLines

What's the difference between 2HCl vs H2Cl ?

tschoppi

@Omen Try alchemy next time, guaranteed results! (I mean, burnt off hair is also no hair, right?)

LordStryker

12:50

@DemCodeLines 2HCl denotes two 'HCl' molecules

tschoppi

@DemCodeLines 2HCl is two molecules of HCl, H2Cl is a (nonsensical) molecule that has 2 hydrogen and 1 chlorine atoms.

LordStryker

H2Cl is a molecule which has 2 hydrogens

Omen

@tschoppi thats how I make coffee... its starts out as lemonade

DemCodeLines

How can 2HCl be balanced though?

tschoppi

Aha, the classical supra-ethereal lemon-to-coffee transmutation!

@DemCodeLines Start slowly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

Maybe ask your teacher to explain it one more time to you?

Omen

12:53

@tschoppi it is unintentionl... I pressed THAT button on the microwave

tschoppi

@Omen Well sucks, then you were stuck with coffee for the morning but wanted lemonade? See kids, that's what happens when you don't understand the underlying theory of the things you do...

Omen

@tschoppi especially by pressing 'that' button

getting back to chemistry, I have started reading about photochemistry

tschoppi

complicated stuff, imo

Like so many things, it's initially very easy to get a grasp on... But the devil is in the details.

LordStryker

Why is H3PO4 called "phosphoric acid" rather than "phosphic acid"? Oxoacids you change the anion from "chlor-ate --> chlor-ic" but apparently with phosphorus it goes from "phosph-ate --> phosphoric".

Omen

is it ever - i am weird though - I love the complicated

tschoppi

13:04

@LordStryker Beats me. Some of these names have weird mythological (read: historical) roots

Omen

they were probably trying to use the microwave

LordStryker

The more I learn about chemistry, the more I realize chemistry isn't really a collection of rules. Chemistry is simply a collection of exceptions to the rules.

Omen

sounds like atmospheric science

Chem.SE is a very nice looking and interesting site

LordStryker

@Omen We just graduated so we're going to get a brand new design!

Still can't believe that. It seems like I joined just yesterday, this site has been in beta for aaaages!

Omen

13:07

YThis is awesome news! \

LordStryker

@tschoppi I know right?! 2 or 3 years now

I remember when we FIRST launched. I created the first chat room :)

Omen

I am thinking of joining

LordStryker

Sadly its been 2+ years and my rep is so low. I really need to start answering more rather than chatting and just leaving comments.

Omen

low rep? does not matter - I have seen that comments help and chatting creates a very friendly atmosphere

LordStryker

@ManishEarth heya man! \o

ManishEarth

13:09

o/

LordStryker

@Omen its all about dat rep

Omen

lol

LordStryker

n it -4- da rep

tschoppi

@LordStryker My thoughts exactly. But then again, it's much easier to write a question that gets listed on the HotBar than to write an answer that gets the equivalent amount of rep. There it really is quantity. Maybe adopt the Weird Uncle Al style?

hey @ManishEarth

ManishEarth

Answer only in haikus or sonnets

Omen

13:10

or in Klingon

LordStryker

haiku is 5-7-5?

tschoppi

yes it seems to be
that haiku has this rhythm
of five seven five

LordStryker

i just found haiku. its indeed five seven five. I love @ManishEarth

ManishEarth

:p

Omen

bonus rep for haiku?

2

lol

LordStryker

okay, I am convinced, I am gonna join up

LordStryker

ONE OF US ONE OF US @OMEN IS ONE OF US!

it's an omen... oh wait...

tschoppi

Oh you @LordStryker
Sprinkling star dust on us all
When will we grow up?

Omen

what's this "grow up" you speak of?

LordStryker

13:14

@tschoppi Hopefully never.

tschoppi

:D

I was stuck for the last line and just picked the first words that fit

Omen

oooh and I have thought of a question

LordStryker

@Omen its where the real world finally beats you into submission

tschoppi

Which, incidentally, is the technique used by old ancient japanese haiku wizards

LordStryker

lol @tschoppi I just realized you're still on 5-7-5

Omen

13:15

@LordStryker HA! it can not, for I am the BOOGIE MAN

LordStryker

OOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE BOO!

wtf @LordStryker....

Omen

@Omen approves

LordStryker

@LordStryker tested. @Omen approved.

I can get behind that

tschoppi

@LordStryker are you assimilating to your freshmen by adopting similar behaviour patterns?

LordStryker

@tschoppi Heh, my freshmen are still wiping their noses and sucking their thumbs

tschoppi

13:17

But soon you will show them to the bliss that is the computer as a working station

Omen

just as long as they don't expect us to change their diapers

i think I have a reasonable question

tschoppi

@Omen Then go ahead and post it :)

Omen

hmm can I ask for advice (Chem is out of my field, but I love it for its detail)

LordStryker

Omen

bwahahahaha

LordStryker

@Omen you can always post and we can edit from there

Omen

sounds like a plan -stay tuned

ManishEarth

I tabbed out for five minutes and what is this I don't even

:p

LordStryker

aw I love it when I get a little golden star

@ManishEarth You've really been missing out on the fun!

tschoppi

@LordStryker I'd like to request your opinion on my gold question. Do you think that wildcat has a point? I just get negative vibes and find my judgement to be clouded on this issue, so some outside perspective would be greatly appreciated.

29

Q: Why is gold golden?

Bulk gold has a very characteristic warm yellow shine to it, whereas almost all other metals have a grey or silvery color. Where does this come from? I have heard that this property arises from relativistic effects, and I assume that it has to do with some distinct electronic transition energies...

inorganic-chemistry computational-chemistry theoretical-chemistry

Omen

I think that is a great question!

LordStryker

13:25

@tschoppi I think that Wildcat (and others of us) have been seeing an increase in questions that either are too broad, have an answer that can easily be found elsewhere, or that are downright ridiculous (e.g. "Can you explain quantum mechanics to me?"). I think that in light of this recent influx of 'problematic questions' some people are going to be a little antsy and on-edge. I think your question is a good one. I read it and thought to myself "well its all about relativistic effects"

but I didnt know or I dont remember much more than that so I've enjoyed the replies that your question has received.

@tschoppi In short, I think your question is a valid one.

3k views and highly upvoted responses. Great question indeed.

tschoppi

@LordStryker Thank you for your insight.
It was clear to me that I could have researched the question myself and answer it right away, accept the answer and walk away. But I felt the question had great potential, and it is nice to see it unfold.

LordStryker

@tschoppi Judging by the vote and view metrics, its one of our best questions.

@LordStryker Actually I have a chemistry-related baffling and pondered the appropriateness to ask on the site about it.

LordStryker

well ask away

Omen

@LordStryker I have now entered the foray that is Chem.SE... chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/16673/… - not in haiku...sorry...lol

LordStryker

@Omen Interesting question. I remember seeing these types of experiments on YouTube

Omen

I actually did one... it is spectacular

Grace Note

I observed a peculiar reaction when I added French Vanilla creamer into some rasberry ginger ale in a fit of random experimentation. I noticed a much quieter but essentially identical end result with milk. It's a curious reaction and I thought to ask what exactly may be the cause of it. Naturally I'd be more detailed in an actual question body.

Omen

13:35

oh and feel free to edit the living suitcase out of that and any questions and answers that I do

LordStryker

looks like enthalpy drops dramatically at each step

tschoppi

@Omen A process is not the cause, but the pathway...

3

LordStryker

@GraceNote I am sort of confused. You added F.V. to ginger ale and also milk. What did you observe from this mixing of liquids?

Grace Note

Two separate concoctions - creamer and ginger ale, and then milk and ginger ale.

It created this very weird, airy foam substance. Very flavorless, too, I might add, I might as well have been eating physical air for all the good that did. In what few attempts to actually succeed that it was, since that stuff does not want to actually flow with the liquid it sits atop.

In the case of the creamer, it was an almost explosive reaction, a small amount of drop of the creamer was enough for the reaction to fill up half the glass and spill off the top in less than a second. With milk, I didn't notice any sort of reaction until minutes later, when fizz faded away, that this foam was left (in a much smaller amount) at the surface of my drink.

Omen

@tschoppi that is awesomely zen

ManishEarth

13:40

o/ @GraceNote

ManishEarth

@Omen no haikus? for shame.

Omen

@ManishEarth i am on a diet

ManishEarth

a prose diet? so sad.

Geoff Hutchison

13:41

@tschoppi I liked the question, since I was asked the same one in class last spring. Now I have to deal with wildcat who seems angry for some reason

LordStryker

OH C'MON YOU GUYS! MILK AND GINGER ALE PEOPLE! LETS STAY ON TARGET!

Omen

@ManishEarth yeah, I know - it is like the soup diet, but with a thesaurus instead of toast

LordStryker

heya @GeoffHutchison

I enjoy your answers very much.

ManishEarth

@tschoppi That sounds so Zen

tschoppi

@Omen @ManishEarth It really does :)

ManishEarth

13:43

@GraceNote I guess it curdled, but I don't see why it would do so explosively

Omen

it is worthy of a star

Geoff Hutchison

As for milk and ginger ale, ask away. Sounds like it could go viral

tschoppi

^ What @GeoffHutchison said

Grace Note

I shall ask. I will also include a warning to folks that apparently this stuff is really hard to actually get out of your containers and even the sink.

LordStryker

@GeoffHutchison Milk and ginger ale sort of tastes like a cream soda. Used to have it when I was a kid.

Omen

13:44

^ what :17829083 said

dang it!

LordStryker

ahahahaha

ManishEarth

Posset

A posset (also spelled poshote, poshotte) was a British hot drink of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was popular from medieval times to the 19th century. The word is mainly used nowadays for a related dessert similar to syllabub. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a cold and flu remedy and was more of a drink than a mousse. == Introduction == To make the drink, milk was heated to a boil, then mixed with wine or ale, which curdled it, and the mixture was usually spiced. It was considered a specific remedy for some minor illnesses, such as a cold, and a general remedy for others...

hm

dern Brits

Grace Note

@ManishEarth In spite of the name, "ginger ale" has about as much to do with ale as "root beer" has to do with beer.

LordStryker

My best scientific guess is that the CO2 and weak acid in ginger ale messes with the milk.

@GraceNote You're drinking the wrong root beer.

ManishEarth

@GraceNote oh right, ginger ale. Forgot :p

Omen

13:46

so, my question is good, ja?

Grace Note

@LordStryker This is true enough considering the only bottle we have right now is this atrocious diet stuff.

ManishEarth

@GraceNote In that case, ginger ale is carbonated and acidic. The milk reacting with the carbonic acid might trigger the fizz from suddenly coming out

though thinking about it milk reacting with carbonic acid should do the opposite

Grace Note

Sounds all the more reason I should post a full question with possibly pictures!

Omen

One of us! One of us!

or like yoda, speak we must

so @LordStryker, is there anything I should do to my post to improve it, or it be okay as it is?

LordStryker

an idea this is
follow the five-seven-five
like yoda on haiku day

i haven't seen this room this populated in a long time its amazing

Omen

it's an omen of things to come....

LordStryker

@Omen I see no problem with your question 'as-is'. Once more of the community looks at it (and perhaps discusses it), edits may tweak it but there is nothing wrong with it for now that I can see.

I'm wasting my small spurts of free time in chat while I put together my lecture that i have to give in an hour

HOLY ODD SOCKS!

LordStryker

@ManishEarth if its a small enough project post a question and I can pound out some numbers for ya :)

ManishEarth

haha

but I know them now :p

I and my project advisor had a fun "you're wrong! no, you're wrong!" battle today. We have them often (it's all in good fun, and usually some interesting conclusions come out of it)

LordStryker

@ManishEarth You got the questions honey I've got the machines :)

Omen

dude, that is an epic answer!

LordStryker

14:03

@Omen I appreciate it

ManishEarth

But now I actually know how to simulate stuff so I can prove him wrong. Then again, he has the esoteric ability to cite these things known as "papers"

@LordStryker that answer should be published :p

@ManishEarth I'm more than certain cis-2-butene has been examined before. besides how would be sell the story to a journal? whats so important about cis-2-butene and its dipole? :O

ManishEarth

@LordStryker it's the cure for cancer?

shrugs

LordStryker

lol!

ManishEarth

since when did stuff have to be important to get published? :P

Omen

14:05

@LordStryker I have a bit of reading to do methinks! I love detail - literally, I am one of those people that love to know as much detail as possible

LordStryker

"Studies have shown a potential indirect connection between carbon and hydrogen containing compounds. We examine the cis-2-butene model compound in an effort to gain insight into the physical properties of this related molecule"

@Omen Hopefully the details I left are accurate then :P

ahhh @ManishEarth, the art of making bullshit sound technical :P

Omen

I tend to do that in my field of research (where they foolishly awarded me a PhD in)

@LordStryker sounds exactly like my field

ManishEarth

@LordStryker this is a really amazing answer. I have to go soon for some TA work, but I'll probably finish reading it there

@LordStryker eeexactly

LordStryker

Alrighty @ManishEarth. We'll catch you later. Thanks for the kind words and enjoy :)
