Scavenger Hunt
« on: December 04, 2007, 03:52:51 PM »
Ok well the month before break i got a lovely 95 question chemistry scavenger hunt.
Several of the questions are giving me quite some trouble.  I would greatly appreciate if someone would help, and here is my thanks for those who do: Thanks.
Here are some of the questions...(please not i actually have to physically obtain these things, and i has to fit in the average shoe bock

A metric container for SI unit of volume...(i.e. cubic meter or litre) im thinking milk container or something like that...

An electrochemical cell (is that a battery, i think so, not sure)

heres a toughy imo...Sucrose in gold and black (can i burn it for black...and can i burn it slightly for gold?)

a sample of solid alcochol or its label

A base indicator once contained in a common laxative

the container of a substance containing ionic fluoride

Acidic Anhydride that makes a refreshing drink

i will add more as i get through the list.  Thanks once again who help me, i know its a lot.

Battery will do.

Once it will be burnt it will be no longer sucrose ;) Will brown do for gold?

Dear Teirm ;

Volume is only a derived SI Unit and that’s cubic meter [m3].

And a few others:
-   Solid Alcochols
     -- tert. Butanol      Mp. 25.6°C
     -- 1-Tridecanol      Mp. 30.5°C
     -- 1-Tetradecanol   Mp. 38  °C

-   Laxative:    Phenolphthalein

Good Luck!

Dear Teirm ;

For Silica Gel take a look on:  "Silica Gel
  -  and follow the "Sodium Silicate"-link.

Good Luck!

Dear Teirm;

(Thank you for the Invitation.)

Acidic Anhydride:   How about CO2.
CO2 + H2O    <---->   H2CO3      or:  (HO)2C=O }

Is there anything left?

Good Luck!

P.S.: Have you read (twice!) How Silica Gel is made?
