"You can thank Pres. Jackson for that one!" - Into the Night Make America Great Again! America was great once. But it stopped being great at some time in the past. When was America at its greatest? That is the time we should seek to emulate as we restore her to greatness. President Jackson, in the 1930s, presided over a truly GREAT America. It was a time when everybody knew their place. At the top, the white male who owned property. In the 1830s, there were still plenty of places where they were the ONLY eligible voters in the US. If that white male property owner also owned slaves, 3/5 of each of them could be counted for more political power. Those were the days! The Constitutional Monarchies and budding liberal democracies of Europe were already abolishing slavery. America wasn't going to budge. Not without a fight. No silliness of WOMEN having any power in the system. No votes. Not even the right to own property in their own name. No uppity non-whites expecting a place at the table. Certainly no gays or lesbians or tran-Q-bi whatevers thinking they had any right to exist. And in those days they knew EXACTLY what to do about those pesky native savages who were getting in the way of being able to use all the good land. Let us make America great again. At LEAST as great as it was in those wonderful days of the Jackson presidency. When everybody knew their place. And stayed there without whining about it. |

In anticipation of Columbus Day! There is a vicious rumor going around the Internet that Cristobol Colon, Christopher Columbus, or whatever his REAL name actually was in Italian.... They are accusing him of having been a JEW! I don't pretend to know anything about his ethnicity. Not everyone agrees that his role in history was heroic. Perhaps he deserves credit for bringing the light of civilization and Christianity to the "New World". Perhaps those native populations should have been more grateful that someone finally "discovered" them. What I know from personal experience about Cristobal is that he got himself into a whole lot of trouble with the powers that be. I got to see up close the tiny prison cell in the dungeon where Columbus rotted for a very long time in Santo Domingo. He pissed off the wrong people. I don't think that it was because they found out he was Jewish. But the Spanish Inquisition was still pretty fresh in memory at that point. Failure to confess to Jewish ethnicity and convert to Catholicism DID carry a death penalty for many in the decades just before Columbus set sail. Hero or zero, tomorrow is HIS special day. What if we find out that he wasn't even really ITALIAN? As far as you injuns go, just be grateful that someone DISCOVERED you! |

Crawl out from under that rock or get up off that basement couch and see what is happening out there in the real world. According to genetic analysis of his remains, he was a Spanish Jew from Valencia, Spain. Much controversy. I'll believe it when I see convincing evidence in a peer-reviewed scientific journal article. That may never happen. As many as 300,000 Jews lived in Spain when they launched the Inquisition. If Columbus were one of them, he would surely have been under heavy pressure to renounce or disguise it and become an active member of the Catholic Church. And they ARE saying that he wasn't even ITALIAN! |

"So, Mr. Chemistry genius, the correct answer is.." - IBdaMann As the post below makes clear: Some of the carbon dioxide that dissolves in water becomes CARBOLIC ACID. Scary stuff. Also known as phenolic acid, benzenol, or phenol, it is toxic. But don't worry because WATER ITSELF IS A BUFFER FOR ACID. All that poisonous CARBOLIC ACID gets buffered away by water itself. So, the ocean acidification hoax is easily debunked with a few simple points from the local chemistry genius. Water is a POWERFUL buffer, in fact. So powerful it makes the CARBOLIC ACID disappear to undetectable concentration in sea water. Google how much carbolic acid can be found in sea water! Into the Night wrote: The saturation of CO2 in water is dependent on temperature. You can look up this chart from various engineering sources. The amount of CO2 in the oceans is nowhere near saturation. Your soda dispenser is trying to oversaturate the CO2 in water. That's what the fizz is. CO2 venting from the water to re-establish equilibrium. Warm water holds less CO2 than cold water. Thus, for soda, CO2 will stay dissolved in the soda longer (it won't fizz as fast, but it will still fizz). Oceans, of course, have nowhere near that much CO2 in them. They don't fizz like soda does. The concentration of CO2 in any part of the ocean is about the same as the air above it. Like air, CO2 is not uniformly distributed in ocean water. CO2 also does nothing to ocean water. It does not make the ocean water less alkaline. A very small amount of CO2 in water (around 1%) will form carbolic acid. This is reaction goes both ways. Carbolic acid in water will also turn into CO2. Water itself is a buffer for acid. This means the pH of the ocean water isn't going to change any detectable degree even with the carbolic acid in it. It has the entire ocean itself acting as a buffer. Acid-base chemistry is completely denied by the Church of Global Warming in just the same way they deny the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

I'm no chemist, but I think plastic is the best buffer against acid. I learned that from watching Breaking Bad. They needed to dissolve a body in acid, but unless they put it in a plastic tub, the acid would eat through pretty much anything else, including rocks. I think this is also the general reason why petroleum jelly is the best guard against a spreading rash. If there is a better buffer against acid than plastic, than hopefully sea lover can let me know... ![]() |

Vinegar can be buffered by baking soda to maintain near neutral pH, when the (weak) acetic acid (vinegar) is transformed to the even WEAKER carbonic acid. CH3COOH + NaHCO3 = CH3COONa + H2CO3 acetic acid + sodium bicarbonate = sodium acetate + carbonic acid Compared to strong mineral acids (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid..) organic acids such as acetic acid (vinegar) are WEAK acids. The oxyanions of weak organic acids make good buffers (acetate, citrate, tartrate, etc.). The carboxylic group of these organic acids (R-COOH) weakly dissociates into hydrogen cation (H+) and carboxylate anion (R-COO-). But carbonic acid is even WEAKER than the carboxylic organic acids. Carbonate and bicarbonate oxyanions can buffer the acidity from organic acids by forming the even WEAKER acid, carbonic acid.

The claim that water itself is an excellent pH buffer is ABSURD. Nor does has Into the Night posted anything that indicates he has the slightest understanding about what pH is. Refuses to acknowledge that pH can be zero or less than zero, and insists that "there is no such thing as pOH" The vast majority of his "argument" is to identify everything that is "not a chemical" Of the thirteen sentences in his post, eleven of them are "(name of oxyanion) is not a chemical" As if that means something of any significance. The oxyanions are important because they are BUFFERS, not because anyone is suggesting that they are referenced as the complete name of a chemical. Bicarbonates are a CLASS of chemicals, but that isn't relevant either. The chemical behavior of the bicarbonate ion acting as a BUFFER is what is relevant. The chemical behavior of bicarbonate ion acting as a buffer seems to be beyond the grasp of Into the Night's expertise in chemistry. The other two sentences, out of 13, are hardly any more enlightening. "Water itself is a buffer" "Dilution is buffering, moron" And calls himself some kind of "chemist"? Does anybody, anywhere fall for his INEPT "chemist" charade? Edited on 02-12-2024 03:22 |

You know, it might not be enough to simply insist that pH CANNOT be zero or less than zero. Royal decree might not be enough to prove the chemistry behind the claim. So, what are the chemical principles that prove it is impossible for pH to be zero or less than zero? Just invoke the old thermodynamics! Insist that it would violate the laws of thermodynamics for pH to be zero. You don't even have to say which law or how. That way you don't just have the unsupported contrarian assertion that pH CANNOT be zero. You will have proven scientifically the chemical basis that makes it impossible for pH to be zero, because it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Into the Night wrote:Im a BM wrote: |

-ln1.5 = -0.41 - TRUE OR FALSE? CORRECTING THE MATH ERROR TO CALCULATE pH of 1.5 N Nitric Acid Apparently, a math error is responsible for giving the false result that a solution of 1.5 N nitric acid, HNO3, has a pH = -0.41 Let's see if we can find the error. Let's leave the chemistry out of it and look strictly at the math. What is the negative logarithm of 1.5? Apparently, only a math error would yield the result of -0.41 Putting the chemistry back into it. Apparently, only a math error would yield the result that the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (= 1.5 in 1.5 N HNO3) = -0.41 So, what OTHER value is the "correct" answer for the negative logarithm of the number 1.5?
