Is there an easy way I could make my own anti-static carpet spray?  The
commercial product is often hard to find.  Of course, pure water works for a
short time, enough to repair one computer.  I've tried adding fabric
softener but it's too strongly scented to use this way.

My understanding of hydrogen bonding is that it is due to
delocalization of the bare proton. If this was true one would expect a
heavier nucleus to bond more weakly because delocalization decreases
expoentially with the mass of the partical. Weaker intermolecular bonds

I have one single question regarding the handling of salicylic acid. This
acid is a very volatile fine powder, which easily adsorb on skin, leading to
unwanted irritation. It also tends to agglomerate and is quite impossible to
solubilize afterwards. So we spread it manually ...

I am currently trying to synthesize some yttrium barium cuprates
(YBCO-123) and have a paper that references the use of Cu(NO3)2-3H2O as
an initial reagent.  The difficulty that I am having is in that the
copper nitrate is so deliquescent that it is actually partially

I have a problem wish my dish washer after changing the supply from
soft cold water to soft hard water (as I don't have a water softener
other than the dish washer's built-in one), because I wish to save
money by using natural gas to heat the water instead of electricity.

I am looking for a viscosity correlation to estimate viscosities of
light hydrocarbons gasses.  I have read that the Ely / Hanley method is
a generally accepted one - but can't find any details on it at all
(except that its an EOS / corresponding states method).

I remember as a kid I had a chemistry set that had an experiment that
would change clear water to black and then back to clear again. Does
anyone know what chemicals this used and how the experiment was
performed. I am teaching some chemistry/magic lessons soon and I would
