Jay-qu Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 trichloro isocyanuric acid is a good disinfectant, but ive never heard of it been used to make white boards.. ill keep looking :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Why dont you guys,also post an (incomplete) NMR/IR/MS spectra with the questions? Funny contest I must say ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 The contest is as follows:I will start by describing a chemical substance. People will then have to guess the chemical through research or just general knowledge based on the information provided.Here are some simple rules:-make it as challenging as you like (harder is generally more fun I think), so be as descriptive as necessary-Don't use elements. The chemical in question must be at least tertiary (3 elements)-Once the first contest is over (created by me), anyone may post their own (but please, only one at a time)-You don't have to provide rep as a reward, but I am for the first run-through.-stay on topic in the thread. posts not on topic may be deleted. Ready? I'll start easy. :doh: 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.

Mercedes Benzene Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Well, it's been about a year and 7 months (ALREADY?!!!!?:phones:) since the last proposal. Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mmmm well it must be a hydrocarbon.. Ill take a guess with the first one Trichloro-methane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mmmm well it must be a hydrocarbon.. Ill take a guess with the first one Trichloro-methane? Nope. Not quite. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 How about trichlorotriazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 How about trichlorotriazine? Nope. That's still not it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 :) der.. you cant make a polymer from methane! how 'bout Trichloro-ethene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 :) der.. you cant make a polymer from methane! how 'bout Trichloro-ethene? Remember, trichloro isn't part of the chemical that I'm looking for. I just said that it is used in the trichloro- form as a disinfectant. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

I just re-read what you wrote and it was clear, but I guess I got hung up on the trichloro-. Anyway, I'm gonna guess triazine because it just seems to fit.

Anyway, I'm gonna guess triazine because it just seems to fit. Not triazine, but that's very close.:) Since this one seems to be especially puzzling, I'll give a huge hint:The empirical formula is [ce]CH2N2[/ce] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomer Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Okay, so is it cyanamide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Okay, so is it cyanamide? Nope. You were closer with triazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thats really funny, I totally didnt read it correctly.. How about Pyridine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thats really funny, I totally didnt read it correctly.. How about Pyridine? Not pyridine. Didn't you read my big hint above?:phones: Anyone want to save these two? :cheer: Or is time to reveal the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not triazine, but that's very close.:) Since this one seems to be especially puzzling, I'll give a huge hint:The empirical formula is [ce]CH2N2[/ce] Is it diazomethane, cyanamide, or diazirine? ~modest edit: I see cyanamide was already guessed, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
