    Seems like it would have been more appropriate to give JFK's brother the alcohol!

    Hey Airplanenut
    I don't think most of the members of this forum have a clue what your post means. (I do). image

    Airplanenut,

    HOOCH is C-C-OH. I think your picture is isopropyl.

    << <i>Airplanenut,

    Yup. You can also call it 2-propanol if you want to be really geeky. image

    C-C-OH, provided you assume that both carbon atoms have their full compliment of hydrogen atoms bound to them, is our friend ethanol which makes beer taste even better and ugly women slightly attractive. image

    HOOCH......... well.......... that can't exist unless you add a couple more hydrogens to that terminal carbon. If you do that, you'll wind up with methyl peroxide which isn't exactly a very safe compound to have around. (Organic peroxides are nasty little buggers).
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    Uh!! yes it can; commonly known as formic acid. Adding 2 hydrogens will give you methyl/methane hydroperoxide.

    Y'all are thinking way too hard for me. HOOCH is just something you grow in a cornfield, brew in a bathtub, and distill in the garage. It does contain C-C-OH though (among other things), but hopefully not C-OH.

    Hey, to bring this thread back to topicality, are there any depictions of alcohol or related items such as a still on any coin?
