Of course it would work it is basic solubility chemistry !
Thanks - I wasn't previously familiar with enhanced solubility as a lower-energy state. Makes some degree of sense, though... I'll be sure to toy with it.
As a counterpoint, however, if I recall correctly, NH3 is a weaker base than, say, NaOH... and also, if I recall correctly, HCL is slightly weaker than, say NO3. This would imply :
a) Ab2's nitric acid/ammonium chloride would probably work, IMHO... but more to the point of this...
b) If I take your word on increased solubility as a lower-energy (preferred) state (it seems logical, but if I took EVERYTHING that made sense to my wingnut ass as gospel without doing the experiments...), in what way would one counterbalance this against a reaction being otherwise dispreferred? Where would I know which would take precedence?
Thanks...
