Johnny was a corporate stooge,
but Johnny’s words untrue;
what Johnny sold as H2O
was H2O4U.
Is H2O4U chemically possibly? I feel like you could make a chain out of the oxygens and put hydrogen at both ends but I don’t hear anything more that O3
Not as written. But uranyl peroxide is a thing.
There’s UO4·4(H2O) studtite and UO4·2(H2O) metastudtite
This is what i missed about old reddit the most.
Love it 😘
I don’t want to be guy who needs to read the NMR spectra of this stuff.
Little Johnny took a drink but now will drink no more
For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
Fun fact: unlike some other site that shall not be named, Lemmy’s markdown can do subscripts!

Two squiggles for
strikethrough; one squiggle for subscript; and no squiggle for you!Strikethrough is
double-tildedouble-squiggly.
Neat, I’ve never seen that version before. The one I know is:
Johnny was a chemist's son but Johnny is no more. What Johnny thought was H2O was H2SO4.Doubt you’d die from drinking a bit of sulphuric acid, probably would spit it out as soon as you notice your tongue is burning anyway.
Strong acids are weak, you’d notice the boiling acid flavor and spit it out with the rest of your mouth lining right away.
Something something H2SO4
Is H2O4U actually possible to synthesize? Is it stable?
Would it be a liquid at any reasonable temperatures?
Tetraoxidane (H2O4) is very unstable by itself, and I doubt adding a uranium into the mix would stabilize it
Hm… I’m guessing that adding Uranium to that would make it quickly oxidize, and instead of H2O4U, you’d get mostly U3O8 (the most stable Uranium oxide) and a bunch of H2O and Hydrogen gas.
And a lot of heat. If I had to guess, I’d bet on that being a… “rather energetic” exothermic reaction.
Surely if you shook the bottle well, the ingredients would recombine like a vinaigrette, and the intended flavor could be appreciated.
Refreshing!
No way to know until you try
Awww, the redditor by the name TheZyde understood the joke!
