| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | While reading through all these theories and explanations for us ignorant ones, one question begs to be asked. Will this new formula for water eventually lead to a better beer? o&aswallow Recognized His Destiny Early. Too Many Hotties, Not Enough Horny Goat Weed Now accepting foster children applications.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Doc, you're right about the h-bonding, I totally forgot that. However, the thing about dissolving gases in colder water is something I learned in a graduate level chemical oceanography class. Water at higher latitudes (near the north pole), which is colder than water at mid latitudes, generally has a tendency to saturate at higher oxygen concentrations. If I have a chance today at work I'll look it up and explain it better. I've never felt like such a nerd in my life!! Josh  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Whoops, you're right about that I was thinking of when you dissolve a solid in water the saturation point is higher for something hotter, not for gases though Oops, my bad quote:Is that why you're a moron and I'm a doctor? :) OK, that was pretty weak, but it was too easy to pass up quote:Just guessing here, but I'd have to say it's because all of the ions in tap water (like the chlorine that they use to sterilize it and the florine that's in it for your teeth) might interfere with the enzyme action. Enzymes are protiens, and protiens are really bitchy about what shape they stay in (they are long twisted chains of molecules, their shape determines their function) especially when there are all kinds of charged ions floating around them. If you want to see what happens when you really change the shape of a protien, cook an egg white. That stuff (called albumin) is pure protien. When you heat it up, it changes the whole shape of it (in a process called denaturing) and you can see how it changes the properties of it. It goes from clear to opaque and from runny and sticky to hard.  I can levitate birds. No one cares. This message was edited by Doc Smith on 7-26-01 @ 9:21 AM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Doc Smith, Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? Are you in science? I'm a grad student in microbiology. Josh | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Nope, I'm a mechanical engineer I enjoy science though, and I have a pretty decent memory for useless crap...hence the carpal tunnel inducing posts above Gah damn, I'm sorry guys, I just re-read this thread...didn't mean to turn it into Doc's Science Corner I can levitate birds. No one cares. | ||||
