Swim was wondering what the answer to this is, any help would be a awesome.

(CH3)2CO+CO2

is this a homework question?

it's acetone and carbon dioxide

What are they when added together?

In chemical notation please

something is missing.
you don't get anything by mixing acetone with
carbon dioxide alone.

Swim remembers seeing something recently and was unsure of the legitimacy of the context.

It said that it maybe possible to boil (CH3)2CO and bubble CO2 through it. It then reacts to form something and the question is if this is legit what does it produce. Swim would rather speak to someone as yourself that knows for sure, then when swim knows for sure of credibility swim will proceed with swims researching.

without an acid catalyst, all you end up with is a binary mixture of acetone and carbon dioxide.

What would you suggest?

Would you like swim to post the link to what swim read, swim found it again?

swim is a verb, not a noun; and verbs don't precede other verbs, it's just not proper grammar..
unless swim is a nickname for someone. in that case, I don't know who swim is.


bubbling CO2 through an uncharged solution won't yield any new products.

I'm glad you don't know who swim is, the grammar was intended that way.

Not trying to be difficult, notice you seem irritated with my postings and that is not the goal. but I must ask for safety's sake and for increasing ones knowledge, would you help me by briefly explaining how a process like this would hypothetically go? Seeing as you seem to know your shit I could use some advice. If not its chill I understand but I have been researching religiously and can't seem to find what I need.

I was being facetious, I know what swim is (frequented the hiveboard in '99), we just don't use it anymore. It doesn't hold any more legal weight than claiming an imaginary friend broke the law.

the partial equation you gave, I don't know where you got it from, is incomplete. you don't get anything by adding the two. you can continue searching, but you won't find anything.

Particularly why I came to the forum to get help from someone like yourself as i said before. Would you be willing to help me via pm on this issue. One is having problems finding any anhydride for public sale such as nicotinic or succinic and one would like to continue research.

At least without drawing attention to ones self

yea, that's not possible. the anhydrides are on the TSCA inventory.

Are there any practical ways to solve this issue. I.e. a synth of sorts? Or maybe a strong desiccant?
