moo Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Lol, must have been... :) Now we know what happened to the dinosaurs - they fell off the edge. moo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilali Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I feel like this questions not thread worthy so i'll post it here. When people talk about acid concentration in % i.e. 98% sulphuric acid, how do you work out it's conc in mol dm3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallenrm Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Methane in the sunlight reacts with chlorine, what would be the case in moonlight? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hmmm... technically moonlight is reflected sunlight, but does it contain enough UV to start the reaction? Lol, where's a chemist when ya need one... :) moo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 That sounds ok moo.. the moon is thousands of times dimmer than the sun and over a much thinner spectrum. So there is either not enough intensity to overcome the backwards reaction or the wrong wavelengths present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthepon Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I would expect there to be a 'critical frequency' situation is this free radical halogenation process. I mean that the photons having energies above a specific limit will succeed in splitting the chlorine molecules. This means that it will be wavelength rather than intensity that determines wether the reaction goes or not. For the moon, it might be very slow, but it might happen. But then, does the moonlight have the required frequencies? It does reflect whitish, so I'd expect it to reflect UV also. Dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to hit me with something? Last time I was overhanded, I had bruises for a week! Wait... maybe that was backhanded... :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
