making crystals
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:48:38 AM »
If you crash out crystals from adding 32% HCl looking like mud instead of crystals, and it's supposed to take a while but happens instantaneously, where am I going wrong?

It probably depends on what else is in the flask... More info?

In the flask are 17g o-T and 10g nAAA, and 27g of acetone.  When SWIM added the 27g of 32% HCl it's supposed to take awhile for the crystals to form and SWIM doesn't think they're supposed to look like mud.  Any thoughts?

Can you define the following terms for me?

o-T
nAAA
SWIM

I have no idea what you mean.

I think it means he wants to be banned, if he is asking about what I think he's asking.

Swim means some one who isn't me. Which is supposedly some way of saying you did something nefarious but not really.  :o

Anyhow, my advice is you try another forum, or better yet, real chemistry.
Neither flask nor beaker.

Thank you Fleaker.  I'll take my questions elsewhere.
