Apparently you failed high school English too. Or is English not your first language?

Here's a lesson: "bye" is a word that means you're leaving. To say "bye" and not leave makes no sense.

diclorodifeniltricloroetano...
You should feel yoouself in the clouds if you take a little of this... 🙂
thats the name in spanish, and Im sure the english name doesn't differ too much.
But if you want a shorthand for it, is DDT 🙂

should be spread over this forums...

P.S.: if you don't know what a phenol group is, take ur elementary organic chemistry books, and re read them. You will making yourself a favour!

P.S.: I hope you take my comments with a little of salt.
Let's go Argentina! I want to see the result of Holland-Servia in a few hours!! I can't sleep!
Lol!
Cheers friend

Phthalein also apparently describes something - a phenyl ring attached to a 5 membered ring with an ester group incorporated in the 5 membered ring.
I believe you are right. I have ny basic lessons on organic chemistry 40 years ago, and never had a practical use for them. In my work, I leave it for the crazy chemichal engineers, who provides us with what we ask from them.

Anyway my rec, friend.

Edit: btw, the phenolphthalein is an organic substance used with filter paper to determine the pH of a solution. At least. that was the main use I gave it when I was a kid... eras ago. 🙂

We dropped it into solutions. In any case, that is indeed what it's for - checking to see when the pH of something passes a certain threshold (threshhold?).

It's aroundabout pH 9 that it changes - above that pink, below that colourless. Easiest one to see the colour change, just unfortunately not suitable for two many reactions.

It is also quite common in foodstuffs, i'm not sure why, but is being phased out because of a link to cancer. Aromatic, organic compounds and all that malarky.

Phenol might be quite common in foods, but phenolphthalein isn't. And the vast majority of food contains organic compounds - pure table salt is the obvious exception.

I agree, the Polish would be much stronger with him on the team.

Or was I thinking of phenylalanine? 😕

Or phenolalanine?

Cfuk knows.

They should call it Phuck.
