Q: Sodium permanganate from manganese dioxide and sodium hypochlorite

This page states that sodium permanganate can be formed by the reaction of manganese dioxide with sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide: $$\ce{2 MnO2 + 3 NaClO + 2 NaOH -> 2 NaMnO4 + 3 NaCl + H2O}$$ I assume sodium carbonate ($\ce{Na2CO3}$) will also function in this reaction as a substitute...

Q: Should I ask short questions in chat or on main site?

Recently, I had a question regarding the systematic name of $\ce{FeI2*2FeI3}{^{[\text{*}]}}$. Because the inquiry would be simple and short, and due to the possibility of sawed–off replies, I chose to seek answers in chat instead of the main site. This had numerous advantages. direct back and ...

Welcome to The Periodic Table @Linear! Here are our chat guidelines and it's recommended that you read them. If you want to turn Mathjax on, follow the instructions in this answer. Happy chatting!

user116211

Hi, @Linear; saw your meta post; ask anything here freely ;)

Linear Christmas

Already trying to come up with the clearest way to ask :p

you hang in there

In coordination chemistry, a book discusses the history of complex compounds. Specifically, it says how ammoniates were assumed to be analogous to hydrates. Commenting on the similarity, it states, 'This analogy is essentially correct for in hydrates, except for interstitial and anion water, the water is coordinated to the central metal ion.'

What the hell is anion water? :D

Also, thanks for the warm welcome

Hippalectryon

water with anions in it ? purolite.com/Customized/Uploads/…

That's how I understand it in this pdf

I'm not sure what sense it would make in your sentence though :(

Linear Christmas

15:31

(Y)

The first thing I thought of were anion-exchange systems as well

But I couldn't make sense of it either

Hippalectryon

You can always ask on main :-)

Linear Christmas

Hahah

Maybe I will ;)

I think I'll wait for an hour or two

I have (a little) faith in The Periodic Table

Honestly though, with Paypal and similar companies' shit decision not to support transactions from Iran, this is what they get. It's not like I won't pay, it's that I can't.

@MAFIA36790 Hahahaha

That's the best unintentional joke in the world.

@Hippalectryon Cozy. I'd love to

user116211

@TIPS facepalm

TIPS

I disagree with this for two reasons. First, Google translate in most language is too crappy to work with fast conversations in chat. Mix in some dialectal differences, different proverbs and idioms, and sarcasm and the lack of visible tone and intonation, and you get nothing better than confusion. Second, such feature, even used in its best potential, and providing that GT works perfectly, would still disrupt the normal chat conversations. I think in the end you either have to speak English, or talk with someone who knows the same language as you. — TIPS 17 hours ago

user116211

@hippa wanna use Bitcoins ;P

user116211

@TIPS You predicted this conversation would lead to Google Translate?

TIPS

@MAF Also Chinese even has some dialects that vary so much, some linguists claim they're separate languages. And Chinese is an East Asian language, which means Chinese documents would end up like that Thai text in the screenshot above.

user116211

@hippa: Unless the book is of old soviet Union, if the book is important and has a good value; then it would be of course translated to other languages.\

Hippalectryon

@MAFIA36790 It's a light novel :( not very well known at all

user116211

WTF ;(

Hippalectryon

It got turned into an anime a season or two ago so its translation got taken up officially but it takes a long time

user116211

I was all the way thinking it's a classified mathematical work by some secret Chinese scientist T__T

Hippalectryon

10 volumes are out so far in chinese, all fan-translated, versus between 1 and 3 officially translated

TIPS

Eh, stories are one of those things whose famous and nonfamous iterations don't have much quality difference.

Hippalectryon

It's gonna be a Loong time before they are all available

TIPS

In fact, I would rather watch a cheesy Disney cartoon from 1950s rather than read Twilight.

I dunno about the indigenous part.

I mean, I'm not really into food, so I dunno which food is international and which is our owns.

Except obvious cases, like spaghetti.

user116211

16:23

Well, many non-veg Mughal cuisines are actually derived from Turks' culture.

user116211

@TIPS spaghetti is indigenous? Well, i like it too.

TIPS

Spaghetti is of course not our food.

But Tabriz is Iran's best in foodstuff.

user116211

And we have lotsa different dishes, mostly based on rice in the modern era.

And lotsa meat too.
