Mercedes Benzene Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's Monomethylhydrazine.You would be correct. :phones: I'll have to start making these more obscure.... Oh, and hydrogen cyanide is correct for ron's. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Okay, I propose a chemical that... is a strong reducing agent, is used to reduce the disulfide bonds in proteins, and is relatively unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is it Sodium borohydride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is it Sodium borohydride? Nope. Keep trying :phones: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Darn. Is it then perhaps Dithiothreitol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Dithiothreitol it is. I hope my clues weren't too vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I hope my clues weren't too vague. Not at all! Okay. Next:I Propose a Chemical.... that is the anhydride of an acid that can be found in sea water, and contains a metalloid from the periodic table. Begin.

Jay-qu Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Ok, Im gonna have to break this down a little bit.. You want the anhydride (water once removed) of an acid present in sea water that contains a metalloid (Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Polonium) With the limits you proposed on this thread the final chemical must have at least 3 different elements present, the first is one of these metalloids, the second Im betting on is oxygen, the third.. well hydrogen is normally only present in anhydrides if it is part of an organic molecule, since we need more than 3 elements present I am guessing that H will be one of them, so perhaps this acid is an amino acid or a carbonic acid.. just thinking it out, even if I dont get it it may at least help someone else too :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Keep up your thinking Jay. I will tell you this however, it is not of the carbonic or amino variety. :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 This has been tough, but is it tetramethylarsinous acid anhydride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 No it is not :) I'll give at least a small hint if it would help. It only contains 3 different elements, and the total number of atoms in one molecule is 6. It is inorganic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have a feeling I was a little too tough. So to prevent this "game" from dying, I'll just post the answer, and let Jay-qu post the next one. drumroll....... Metasilicic Acid (H2SiO3), which is the anhydride of Orthosilicic acid. tah-dah.

Jay-qu Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Wow that was a toughie! Just gimme a min to come up with something moderately tricky :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Ok, I propose a chemical that occurs in the body and when it has C2H6O added smells like grapes.. happy hunting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Would it be Lactic Acid?? My reasoning.... Ethanol + Lactic Acid = grape-smelling ester? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 To good MB, next time I will have to up the ante a little :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Why thank you! I propose a chemical... that is composed of C,H, and N. It is sometimes used to make whiteboards, and comes in the form of trichloro________, used as a disinfectant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
