I had solution of hypomanganate in fridge stable for at least 20 minutes. I wasn't really examine stability of solution, I just dilute it and pour in to the drain. But now it's interested me, I will let you know when I test it.

In my experience - mixed solution of manganate and permanganate have dark blue colour (see starting chemical chameleon or try put excess of permanganate to alkaline solution of thiosulfate). But this is precipitate - this may be different.

I made K2Cr3O10 and ampouled this.


I made this chemical by dissolving K2Cr2O7 and some CrO3 in boiling hot highly concentrated HNO3 (70% or so, maybe even a little more). The nitric acid I made by distillation from H2SO4 and KNO3 and a little water to make really concentrated acid. In such concentrated acid an amazingly large amount of K2Cr2O7 can be dissolved and when that is done, then it also is possible to dissolve some CrO3 in it as well. In order to do so, the liquid must be boiling hot, otherwise you don't get all of it dissolved.

After that, I put the flask with the acid and dissolved chromium compounds in a hot water bath, which I slowly let cool down. The next day I had a big crop of beautiful red K2Cr3O10. I put this on a glass fritte and used some paper tissue on the other side of the fritte to absorb the acid and any CrO3 which still is dissolved in it. This was quite scary, the acid with CrO3 is a very harsh oxidizer and after ten seconds or so, the paper tissue with acid soaked in it starts to fume and hiss. So, I had a bucket with water nearby and dumped the paper tissue with absorbed acid in that immediately. I repeated this procedure until no more acid could be absorbed in paper tissue. At this point, the solid already was quite dry.
Next, I put the solid in a petri dish and put it in an oven at 100 C for 20 minutes or so. I finally put the petri dish in a plastic jar, in which I also put a small dish, full of NaOH. This absorbs acid vapor and after several days I had a perfectly dry product, which could be ampouled nicely.

Below follow pictures of the ampouled product on a white background and on a black background:

I also made pictures where the compound is kept near the container of my K2Cr2O7. These pictures nicely show the difference between K2Cr2O7 and K3Cr3O10.

Once the K3Cr3O10 is completely dry and free of acid, it is not hygroscopic anymore, and it can be kept around very well. I will use this sample in my element collection as an addon to the chromium sample (together with Cr2O3, CsCr-alum, K2CrO4, K2Cr2O7).

Very nice! I'm also curious what it would look like next to CrO3. Is it an intermediate between the oxide's dark red and dichromate orange?

It indeed is an intermediate color. CrO3 is darker.
I can make a picture of K2Cr3O10 besides some CrO3. Expect that picture one of these days . . .

Hi.

Here is photo of one of my crystals of ammonium-ferric sulfate. Crystal weight is 37,7g. On photos has beautiful pale violet colour but currently is transparent on edges (but middle is still pale violet) and surface is little bit rusty but it doesn't become rusty even more. I store it in paraffin oil to prevent water losses (on the air it lose water and becomes rusty).

Figure 1: I started stockpiling orange peels in my freezer, telling myself that I'd steam distill them some day. By the time the freezer was full & I got around to the project, I had 2.63 kg hoarded.

organgeOil.jpg - 46kB
Figure 2: When I was done, I had 41.80 g of orange oil collected, for a dry mass percent of ~1.6% oil. I measured its density as 0.837 g/mL.

Also, my house smelled like Froot Loops the whole time :cool:

Nice! That's the largest batch of limonene extraction I've ever seen!

That's interesting. How much solvent did you need for this extraction? And what solvent did you use? Did you recover the solvent by distilling it off and using it again? Could you provide some more details on how the extraction was done?

Another question I have is what you can do with this orange oil? Does it have some specific interesting chemical properties, which can be used in nice chemical experiments?

I hope he used steam distillation, it's relatively fast, in one morning I processed about 1kg of peels in a few batches, using a solvent would require lots of it (just to cover the peels) and even more for washings, the beta carotene would also be extracted so a distillation is mandatory. Meh steam distillation is better:D
The oil should be mainly limonene, it's used as a solvent

Yep, this was a steam distillation... actually several. I've never really gotten the hang of the technique so I decided to just do it over and over for practice. I hadn't thought as far ahead as a use for the orange oil! I might mix some with alcohol and spray it on paper to make scented stationery for my letter writing. :)

In the process I learned that orange oil is produced industrially from the waste from orange juice production by pressing rather than steam distillation.

shouldn't uranyl nitrate be UO2 (NO3)2?
is that an uranium (IV) (with oxygen!?) nitrite?
i think you messed up the formula a bit:D

That sample of uranyl nitrate is beautiful.

@Ubya: Uranyl ion has uranium in its +6 oxidation state. The ion is UO2(2+) and the nitrate salt is UO2(NO3)2.

yup i know, i was messing around trying to interpret the wrong formula:P

@chem science: beautiful sample, uranium is one of my favourite elements, if not the most

6-Monodeoxy-6-monoazido-beta-cyclodextrin synthesized via refluxingMono-6-O-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrin and sodium azide in an aqueous solution..
Used as synthetic intermediate. The azide is reduced to make 6-Monodeoxy-6-monoamino-beta-cyclodextrin or used in click chemistry to attatch subsituted functional groups which can be used to bind/trace movement in vivo. One example is performing an amidation reaction between the amino-cyclodextrin and biotin( biotinylation). When tested on mice, the movement of the cyclodextrin within the cell can be traced by introduction and binding of streptavidin or avidin. Cyclodextrins can act as "cages" for molecules such as steroids and facilitate drug delivery. B-cyclodextrin itself is combined with DMSO and a specific therapeutic drug to permit effective drug delivery through cellular walls.
