Measuring how acidic something is by how basic it isn't sounds like some serious Discworld science 😂

@ArodWinterbornSteed 8 месяцев назад

Not how basic the acid isn't, rather how crap of a base the conjugate base is - i.e. for HF how basic is the fluoride ion? - by comparison it is quite basic and therefore HF is not a super acid. It actually isn't even a strong acid.

@awaredeshmukh3202 8 месяцев назад

With great difficulty. It's quite rare and it reacts with just about anything to get rid of that extra hydrogen. Essentially if you've got a lot of spare protons (hydrogen ions) hanging around with a lot of helium, sometimes the protons will take a liking to the helium's sweet, sweet electrons and get (very very slightly) attached. It's not a stable arrangement at all, but there were quite a lot of hydrogen ions and helium atoms floating around in the early universe, so it happened sometimes.

Boron isn’t a super common element as it’s not a product of regular nuclear fusion (stellar nucleosynthesis if you want to use the fancy term), while I couldn’t tell you about how easy it would be for an organism to synthesise, it’s not common enough for a complex species to make use of

@Spencergolde 8 месяцев назад

Are you asking if it will function as an oxygen carrying motif? I don't see any reason why it would, nor any means for boron centers in the cage to display cooperativity. Generally, for aqueous biology as we know it, if your goal is to buffer the blood pH to within a certain range, you would want to use a weak acid-base system, one which can accept protons if there are too many and donate protons if there are too few. This is a pretty hard question to definitively answer because you're asking about alien life that might have non-carbon or aqueous physiology, in which case a boron-based super acid might have a function that we have no analog to. But there is no physiological function appearing in earth-based life that could be handled with super acid chemistry. As the person above mentioned, boron is cosmologically rare because it tends to get burned in early stellar fusion; but, like uranium, it's much more crustally abundant than expected because geological processes tend to concentrate it into dense pockets in the upper crust, which is why borax mining can give us cheap boron-based laundry detergent. Perhaps on other planets there are similar processes that concentrate boron into nutrient accessible pockets

@samuellourenco1050 7 месяцев назад

Nah, the conjugate base it forms is stable. For instance, sulphuric acid corrodes metal because, in contact with metal, it releases hydrogen, and then the sulphate ion reacts with the metal that was deprived of its electrons. So, the destructive action is done by the ion left behind, which is the conjugate base. The same happens if you drop an iron piece onto copper sulphate. The iron piece gets corroded, because the sulphate ions floating around have more affinity for iron than for copper. That also explains why certain metals resist certain acids.

Also the 50g of carbs in a packet of regular ramen is nothing. You're better off eating beans and chickpeas.

As a chemist I would use the standard definition of acid strength which is essentially the concentration of the H+ ion in solution. HF is generally a week acid at normal solution levels as it does not dissociate as much as say HCl or H2SO4. Of course the corrosiveness is not dependent on strength - sulphuric acid essentially removes water directly so that sugars, for instance, become pure carbon. Nitric acid react badly with the skin. Hydrochloric exists in the stomach.

Hi Nice video and synthesis. So the H-C(BCl)11 is the strongest acid by now. The Cl atoms pull onto the electrons of B atoms and the eleven BCl team pull onto the electrons of the the C atom that is more than happy to form C(BCl)11(-) and give his H atom away as a H(+). Let us compare acidity of some chosen stuffs methane, chlorofom, nitroform, phenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. The introduction of Cl atoms into the molecule increases the acidity of the molecule, but this effect is negligeable vs the introduction of NO2 groups. Acidity of CH4

Guys, you are the Sci show... So, clearly you can figure out how to normalize the level of your audio. Every single one of the Sci show videos is TOO HIGH and feels like someone is screaming at us. I personally need to lower the volume of my TV only for your video, in a series of RU-vid videos. Please, please, please... Normalize the level of your audio to the proper standards. It is an easy procedure, a press of a button during post production... 🤬 Come on, this is something you should've figured out long time ago! Address this asap. The sound of your videos is annoyingly loud. 🔇
