Hey Callaway when preparing Nitric esters like Nitroglycerin or Methyl Nitrate it is commonly done by mixing strong, or fuming Nitric and Sulfuric acids together and letting them cool and then adding the alcohol. Since the nitrate ion is the one doing the work of making highly reactive shit what role does the sulkfuric acid play other than making extra shit to take out when the desired compounds are formed?

Sulfuric acid donates a proton and converts the nitric acid into a nitronium ion form so the negatively charged oxygen atoms in the glycerine can go after it, so you could say that the sulfuric acid acts as a sort of catalyst for the nitration reaction.

It's really no big deal to separate it out, since it is water soluble and nitroglycerin is not.

Thanks for that info Callaway.

It's not a big deal but it's a great thing.

Callaway, why do the White Supremacists Skinheads all have a infatuation with the Nazi's and Hitler?

How comes I urinate less in summer?

(This is serious question btw - it happened last summer as well)

[GalileoAce]

You sweat more in summer and that is where you lose fluid. So that means less pee. The same happens for me. It is normal for this to happen.
Sorry Callaway, couldn't help myself because I know the answer. Maybe. I could be wrong...

Edit: Shit I just posted as GA. It's renaeden posting this.

GA Edit: Now you've made me seem smarter than I am

Thanks renaeden 

When I was downstairs before (after I'd posted this) I thought maybe it was from sweating. I do sweat a hell of a lot lol

That makes sense as I've noticed I've been going to the toilet only once a day sometimes, and I did that a lot last year too

Callaway, why do the White Supremacists Skinheads all have a infatuation with the Nazi's and Hitler?

I think that White Supremacists Skinheads and Nazis share many beliefs, for example, both groups think that they are better than anyone else because they are "white" or "Aryan."

On what grounds?

Utilll something changes as to what is attractive?

I am just saying its bull...shipt

 

Any louder?   Libarains to you hear me me laughing?

Its hard to imagine, when there is so many people on earth.  It would seem more likely that everyone has their strenghts and weakness.  Postive statements tend to be true and negative statements tend to be false.  This is an unproductive attitude of those people, actually weakens them, helpiing to ensure more of the opposite.
