can put plants on the inside of our living or working environments and things like that um but like water has chlorine and all the stuff so we can't really control that as much and then there's um physical stress which is sortof a good thing you know working out I love working out I love Pumping Iron you know being active that's sort of good
Well, to make 2,4,5-T, you start with tetrachlorobenzene, a benzene ring with four chlorine atoms attached to it. These chlorine atoms are very electronegative, so they want to steal electrons from nearby atoms. Luckily for them, the six carbons in the benzene ring are all sharing their electrons in these fuzzy donut-shaped clouds around the ring.
That's what this circle in the diagram is meant to represent. The chlorine atoms pull on this electron cloud, bringing it closer to themselves, and as a result, the carbons in the benzene ring become slightly positively charged and the chlorine 's slightly negatively charged.
for referring to the periodic elements. So chlorine has 17 protons.
It's an acid made up of a ring of six carbons and hydrogens called a benzene ring, with an acid tail. There are also two chlorine atoms in the two and four positions of the ring, which is why it's called 2,4-D. To keep things tidy, we don't have to draw all these carbons and hydrogens, but keep in mind they're still there.
The chlorine atoms pull on this electron cloud, bringing it closer to themselves, and as a result, the carbons in the benzene ring become slightly positively charged and the chlorine 's slightly negatively charged. Now, if you heat up tetrachlorobenzene with sodium hydroxide, one of the negative hydroxide ions will want to bind to one of the slightly positively charged carbons in the benzene ring.
So no, this isn't coming up for whatever reason on the screen. It actually smells of chlorine .
as too much elbow grease and you kind of let it go. And for me, they always end up going back into the pool, getting caught up in the chlorine , and they come back to me a couple years later and something else. So, I suppose it's the same sort of mentality as like there's only so much you can polish a turd. Not that they're turd, but like at a certain
in the Great Diaspora. Caves filled with chlorine gas." So I got that, and I think, well, of course, I don't have a word for "chlorine gas." So what am I going to do with that?
To improve this pickiness further, Jones also tested chemicals similar to 2,4-D. He found that adding another chlorine to the benzene ring, transforming it to 2,4,5-T, left grasses even more unscathed. He was onto something huge.
Even antidepressants change the human microbiome. How about water that contains chlorine or fluoride, or how about heavy metals like mercury and fish, or cadmium in shellfish? All those factors also dramatically change the intestinal microbiome.
If you dilute kitchen bleach enough, you can chemically disinfect the water, and it'll be safe to drink. You're exploiting the chemistry of chlorine in exactly the same way the water coming out of the faucets is treated with chlorine to disinfect and make it safe to drink.
Sodium is an explosive metal. You put it in water and it's kind of neat. You put it in water, and it just, it doesn't quite explode, but it gets hot, and it pops around. Chlorine , it's a gas. It's going to kill you. So these two things are deadly. They're awful. And yet when you mix them, you put it on your food at night. It's salt, right? And so this
We talk about it and then we realize what could be done to make it better. So we do some extensive filtration to get rid of chlorine and heavy metals and things like that.
And we were able to bring back what we've always referred to as the smoking gun. It showed that there was this tremendous correlation with the chlorine molecules that we were seeing, which ended up being the source of the ozone hole. And the exciting thing about that for us is that that data that we took fed directly
Now, if you heat up tetrachlorobenzene with sodium hydroxide, one of the negative hydroxide ions will want to bind to one of the slightly positively charged carbons in the benzene ring. And to do that, it forces out the chlorine atom, taking its place. This creates trichlorophenol, or TCP, a key ingredient in making the herbicide.
So Iain, there's not one answer, unfortunately, but let me make this point. You have to filter your water, remove chlorine and fluoride.
So first of all, the ozone layer, the stratospheric ozone layer that protects the Earth from otherwise being sterilized, that ozone layer has been damaged by chemicals humans put there-- most of all the chlorofluorocarbons, chlorine -containing compounds, but also nitrogen oxides. And in ways that are too complicated to explain right now, it turns out that adding sulfuric acid accelerates those reactions in some ways.
and it opens up a whole load of other stuff. but generating crucial substances, like bleach or chlorine and things.
Jonah Hill: Sometimes they don't initially and then I'm like no, seriously me. Jonah Hill: Hummus. OK Do you put chlorine in the hummus so you can swim in it still?
So Iain, there's not one answer, unfortunately, but let me make this point. and ice cream. We filter our water to remove the chlorine and fluoride.
And in ways that are too complicated to explain right now, it turns out that adding sulfuric acid accelerates those reactions in some ways. The sulfuric acid itself doesn't do much, but in the presence of the chlorine that humans put there, you make that stratospheric ozone loss worse. So you can kind of estimate what that is and get some estimate of the net impacts of that on mortality on the surface.
because it hasn't been washed by the acid. It's a bit like the theory of why we have to wash before we go into a public swimming pool full of chlorine . But it's the same thing.
The patients get so debilitated that you just do it in your bed. And your job is to wash them and to get rid of the buckets and fill it with chlorine , because chlorine neutralizes the cholera toxin. And we were building beds.
based on the chemistry in the wood, whether it be sulphur or chlorine that may be attacking it in a corrosion mechanism.
for referring to the periodic elements. to create a word that means "that element." So when you add vun to 17 you get chlorine .
and make it safe to drink. If you can't find any kitchen bleach, you can use swimming pool chlorine . So sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite will disinfect water for you.
Perfect. It's like, why does is smell like chlorine ?
before spreading out over it, and then also we have chlorine that's just below the fluorine, which is almost as bad.
Water, of course, is going to be another primary consideration for you, and it goes by repurposing everyday substances you can scavenge from the dead cities, the abandoned cities. You can purify water very, very adequately using something like kitchen bleach or swimming pool chlorine , so sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite, and you just dilute them enough.
How do these ingredients do nothing in his own tests, but at the same time cause these painful skin disorders inside 2,4,5-T factories? Well, to make 2,4,5-T, you start with tetrachlorobenzene, a benzene ring with four chlorine atoms attached to it. These chlorine atoms are very electronegative, so they want to steal electrons from nearby atoms.
for referring to the periodic elements. Which means that they created this word, rimafozvun, which means chlorine the element, or the substance.
for referring to the periodic elements. Then kimafozvun, which is now the dangerous animal and has the concept of danger in it, is used specifically for chlorine gas, which
And so what do we do with all of this information? And so what we do see is that there's been a tremendous reduction-- well, a reduction in the growth rate, and actually, a reduction in the total amount of chlorine
That the fluorine, he said, it would be OK with the neon, and it would observe sort of an "armed truce" with the chlorine , but everything else--
to do it by making it very hot and using a couple of catalysts-- iodine and sulfur, or copper and chlorine -- to create hydrogen,
that comes out of the tank. We put in a bucket of water with a little bit of chlorine . And you can see it bubbling when it's fermenting.
