Alright everyone, it's been a long time since I've been on here but I've come to realize it's really helpful so I've started visiting again! Anyways, I have a little confusion about the inflationary framework of the universe. So... I've been reading this book called The Fabric of the Cosmos by...

How could it be an acid without hydrogen atoms?

What determines a substance's viscosity? Is it a molecular pattern or something of the sort?

Yeah, OK, but can viruses produce poisons?

I need to clear this up: the difference between poisonous and infectous. Apparently infectious agents are living organisms like viruses and bacteria, while poisonous substances are, well, poisonous. But can't viruses be poisonous?

So it is parralell to the water. I get it. I'll see when I have time. I need to get everything first, and the new MP3 player I bought has left me with 30 bucks.

Yeah, I know, but I thought the electrolysis sounded kinda cool. How does the Anode do anything if its not touching the water?

You bet! Already working on getting NaOH.

I'm trying to get the hydroxide. How do I keep the chlorine from reacting with the NaOH? When I was researching I saw that you can put a Nafion membrane to keep the two products separated.

How dangerous really is the chloralkali process? I know chlorine is formed, but can I bubble it into a tube or something?

Thanks, I think I'll do exactly that. Now, where to start?

Pure water is neutral. However, minerals and such in natural spring water can make it either acidic or basic.

I'm going to get back to experimenting soon and I would like some experiments. Something cool, fun, but with a meaning, a goal. Useful products would be fun, too.

Well, confining within the laws of science, it cannot be perfect. But, you can try to find the greatest voltage possible out of a stable battery. As chroot said, lithium-ion batteries are the best, but you may be able to go higher than that.

How did they get it to turn so green? What's your name, rctrackstar?
