ironman chemistry

redfive - apologies in advance, i am a chemist.

Even better: what element has an atomic weight closest to half that of Fe?

Al.

Who won Kona last year? Faris Al-Sultan. Faris' web site is in German and he used a Google translator to serve up an English version of the site. Take a wild guess as to what the translator did to his name?

Physical properties:  combustible
Hazards: when inhaled - Burning sensation. Cough. Sore throat; May be alsorbed through skin: burning sensation, redness, pain; Eye: redness, pain; Ingestion: abdominal cramps, burning sensation.
The hazardous description looks like those one may experience when doing an IronMan.

Or the side effects of visiting your local massage parlor.

Heheh, he should be the "aluminum" man.  More flexible than iron. 
Or maybe that "Al" is actually short for aluminum?   

As for a molecule having the molecular mass of 140.6, I found
o-CHLOROBENZALDEHYDE , formula=  C₇H₅ClO / ClC₆H₄CHO
Physical properties:  combustible
Hazards: when inhaled - Burning sensation. Cough. Sore throat; May be alsorbed through skin: burning sensation, redness, pain; Eye: redness, pain; Ingestion: abdominal cramps, burning sensation

when I felt this baffled in chemistry class, I usually handled it like this:

"Uh, Mr Peltz?  May I please be excused to go to the rest room?  It's kinda, uh, a girl emergency..."

Damn, girls are so resourceful. I just cut out and got an "F". Still gives me the heeevee geeevees!

redfive - 2006-03-02 7:07 PM apologies in advance, i am a chemist. so, running distance for a ironman/marathon is 26.2 miles. if we seperate out those two numbers, 26 and 2, and subsitute the elements with those atomic numbers, you get Fe and He. so 26.2 = Fe.He Fe is the symbol for iron and the He, well, that's helium, but he also means man. so it could mean ironman! huh? huh? anyone? is this thing on? class dimissed!

Here are a few more:

Those of you with international flair:

Fr.Fe.He
Ge.Fe.He
Am.Fe.He
Ag.He: For those of you doing the Silverman in Nevada


for those who take a long time to finish Pb.Fe.He

for those hairy, swarthy types W.Fe.He

for those fleet of feet Hg.Fe.He

for those who swim very well Np.Fe.He

I knew the metric ton of paper I burned through drawing organic molecular structures didn't go to the landfill for nothin'... I just drew ortho-chlorobenzaldehyde....for absolutely no reason whatsoever....

Does it resemble anything like swim/bike/run? e.g. 2 benzene rings as the wheels of the bike.....

RGRBILL - 2006-03-04 3:04 PM

It does if you draw out the full synthesis pathway, like starting with benzene.....thanks for that.... ....
