AI Thread Summary
To create homemade metallic ink, mix aluminum powder with a binder like white glue (PVA) for optimal results. A suggested method is to dilute the glue with water to achieve a more fluid consistency. Experimenting with food dye can add color to the mixture. Specific proportions were not provided, emphasizing the need for experimentation. This approach offers a practical solution for those unable to purchase commercial metallic ink.

I want to make homemade metalic ink mixing aluminium powder with some binder.And use it with brush or pen to write some text.So tell me the easiest way , the exact proportions ingridients and way of producing

Why do you want to produce your own ink? Can't you just buy a pen?
 
I can't .I'm form Bulgaria and there is no Sharpie
 
I need spcific recipes for ALUMINIUM POWDER nothing different

You already have some aluminium powder? The first that comes to mind is to mix it with some wood glue, the white glue that dries clear. Also known as hobby & craft glue, polyvinyl acetate (PVA). Possibly water it down to make it more fluid.

Then experiment with a drop of food dye, to see whether it can colour the glue.

Just some suggestions, I haven't tried this.

Good luck!

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
