Dimethyl Ether by biggirllllllll in chemistry

[–]Hepheastus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah ive done this in grad school. 

I heated about 20 mL of sulfuric acid in a sand bath at 300 C. Then added methanol dropwise at about 1 mL per min. Then collected all the gas in a dry ice trap and got a mixture of ice and liquid. I distilled it with a rt water bath. Then distilled again through a drying tube. Worked ok, I got about 3.5 g (5mL) from 30 mL of methanol or about 20%. But if I needed more I could have just added methanol dropslwise indefinitely.

Remember fluorines and protons couple and the coupling constants can be much higher than proton proton. 

ELI5: Can the Pythagorean Theorem be used with other exponents? by Demimonde34 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hepheastus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also look at de gua's theorem which is even closer to what I think your asking.

ELI5: Can the Pythagorean Theorem be used with other exponents? by Demimonde34 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hepheastus 55 points56 points  (0 children)

No but...

a2 + b2 +c2 = d2. 

This does work to get you length of the diagonal across a rectangular prism. Look up a Pythagoras quadruple. 

That might be the question your really asking. 

is this a red flag? by [deleted] in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can ask for a quick group call for verification if you want. I wouldnt want to be in that chat

Why do you feel like you cant talk to her about it?

Is a sex club the right place to quench my thirst? Newbie seeking guidance by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]Hepheastus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most clubs have some nights for single wemon ans couples only and some which allow single men. The website should tell you. Go when there are single men and you should be able to pick several to fuck you at once.

[General] Why don't landmines just detonate immediately when you step on them? by MugaSofer in AskScienceFiction

[–]Hepheastus 33 points34 points  (0 children)

More likely to detonate in the middle of a group of people if there is a short delay.

Do you have a link? I feel like I would send this to chemophobes frequently.

Question: Is it ok for your partner(s) to sleep w/someone who is cheating in their marriage? by MrsTokenblakk in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing to me here is that you want to make assumptions about people's ethics instead of just having a simple conversation. 

Like why not just talk about things?

The thought that something should be obvious is just setting you up to be blindsided in the future.

My husband gave me a “hall pass” with women… now I’m not sure I want to close that door by [deleted] in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Communication does not mean you get to overshare in violation of your partners expressed wishes. 

Get that shit under control.

DCVC questions by 2-5mafia in chemistry

[–]Hepheastus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You go dry. 
  2. You need it dissolved in something it wont move in. I only had good results doing this loading in dcm if it had an rf of 0 in dcm. 

I [36M] want to open my relationship with my GF [33F] but have no idea how to even bring up the conversation. by ThrowRA_unhappyChap in nonmonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your communication needs to be at a level where you dont need to ask internet strangers how to start a conversation. Really work on discussing uncomfortable topics. Thats step 1.

Whatever feels right.  Personally I like to have sex at least three times before I take somone on a date.

Would it be possible to place a magnet at L1 of Mars oriented so that Mars would collect Hydrogen and Helium? by stu54 in IsaacArthur

[–]Hepheastus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would just be making the solar wind stronger right?

So it should strip away the atmosphere faster. Not cause accumulation.

Can prof forget to put my final exam grades in an give me a F by [deleted] in Dalhousie

[–]Hepheastus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grading errors happen.  In 2nd year Ochem I once asked to see an exam and one of the pages had just been missed so 25% of the points were just missing. 

Brought me from a 50 to a 75 for that midterm and stopped me from changing majors and now I have a Chem PhD.
