We synthesized a carbon supported platinum catalyst for fuel cell.
Occasionally, we found that this catalyst can catalyse Hydrogen and
ethanol to burn in room temperature. Now we are very curious which
field this property of the catalyst can be applied? If someone feels

In a now classical study of the polymorphism of silica  in 1913 Fenner
used molten sodium tungstate, Na2WO4, as a solvent for silica, but he
did not report how much silica can be dissolved  at various
tempertures. It might be only a few percent at 1000C.

Question on organic chemistry side-chain's naming rules
What are the rule(s) for naming an organic chemical compound that has

The plastic support for the turntable in my microwave oven
broke into two pieces.  I'd like to glue it back together,
which I think should be easy enough to do, but I'm not sure
what glue to use that will hold up to the heat and moisture

Are there vacuum pumps that are made for distilling liquids without the
need for cold traps, and that wouldn't contaminate or damage the pump?
Thanks.

The following relates to a particle with a non-zero rest mass i.e. a
“massive particle”.
E = mc^2
where: E is the total relativistic energy of a particle, m is the

Could sound waves generated at the resonate frequency of salt cause the salt
molecules to break apart into sodium and chlorine?

These are practice questions that I'm struggling with...thanks for any
help you can provide...

Googling "Converting methane to electricity" returns results that burn
it and then use the kinetic energy of the gas to drive a prime mover
of an electricity generator. As someone who's a complete incompetent
in this area, I would have thought that most generators using this
