Talk:Hexafluoroacetone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] of hydrogen gas

I deleted the hydrogen because the hydrogen has to come from nowhere, because there is no hydrogen in the metal nor in the Hexafluoroacetone.Stone 08:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Stone, I found that piece of information in a MSDS document for hexafluoroacetone under the "stability & reactivity" section (#10):(http://www.airliquide.com/safety/msds/en/063_AL_EN.pdf). Honestly I can't vouch for its rightness and I agree with you that if hydrogen is formed in those conditions it will come from neither the HFA, nor the metal. May it be coming from the moisture? If you have or find evidence that claim is wrong feel free to remove it.

Hi Berserker79 the moisture mentioned in the paper has to go into the article, because the hydrogen source has to be mentioned. In chemical experiments under inert atmosphere only HF will form. So if the moisture is in everything is OK.

[edit] HFA is inorganic

To be (annoyingly?) precise, hexafluoroacetone is not organic and should be listed as an inorganic stub.--Smokefoot 13:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
