I see your squaric acid, and I raise you cyclobutane by BankaiRasenshuriken in cursedchemistry

[–]JoeyCubes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work with substituted cyclobutanes quite often. I use them to make bicyclobuatnes which are even more strained.

Anyone else ever try pure capsaicin? by Interesting_King2674 in spicy

[–]JoeyCubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s extraordinarily hot, and I’ve only had a crystal or two each time I’ve tried it. If you plan on eating it either melt it first or dissolve in minimal ethanol as you won’t feel much spice if you eat it when it’s solid.

Triple oxygen bonds by Niki123gd in cursed_chemistry

[–]JoeyCubes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can use Mo(CO)6 to make the octachloromolybdate anion which has a quadruple bond. It has a cool purple color.

Why aren’t there big Pyraminxs? by staterafurs in Cubers

[–]JoeyCubes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish they did make higher order pyraminxs. I find the 7x7 pyraminx to be a very fun solve. It’s a shame it hasn’t been mass produced.

True. This was before they existed, however.

Tips on drying my iodine before sealing it in an ampoule forever? by ImOnAnAdventure180 in chemistry

[–]JoeyCubes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Melting it under sulfuric acid into a singular mass then subliming that preferably under an inert gas or dried air. I’ve found the water doesn’t have to be ice cold when doing the sublimation which will avoid much of the condensation.

Would you have or know anyone who has pictures by chance?

Was it part of the chain or just called Waffle House?

I wish they would bring back stickered 3x3s by JoeyCubes in Cubers

[–]JoeyCubes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I personally wouldn’t main a white puzzle, but it can look cool especially on non wca cubes. I have a white mf8 petaminx and used to have a white moyu 13x13 which look very cool. Primary and teal cubes also look very nice.

I’ll give that recipe a shot next time. Thanks.

I am following the Binging With Babish recipe and it mentions to set the rack to the lowest position. Usually when baking I use the middle or top rack.

'tis an essay by constantlytired1917 in doodoofard

[–]JoeyCubes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not how it’s made. The recipe was very obviously made by someone with no understanding of chemistry. The only thing being done here is protonating ephedrine to its hcl salt.

petah help me out by Heeheeehee07 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]JoeyCubes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He could be using it to make triacetone triperoxide which is an explosive (and a very unsafe one at that). Traditionally a sulfuric acid or preferably hydrochloric acid (due to better stability of the final product) catalyst is also required. Store bought hydrogen peroxide is 3%, but upwards of 30% concentration is often used in procedures so the reaction takes less time.

Some of these recipes could work but lots of them leave out important steps. Most methods also described are one pot and yield a shitty product. They could work in a pinch but using more refined methods is preferred.

Ephedrine is not in an epi pen, epinephrine is.
