★☆★NAPHTALENE??★☆★

Ada soalan... betul ker campuran naphtalene ball a.k.a ubat gegat nih dgn minyak petrol,
boleh menambahkan rantaian carbon... dgn kata lain, kalau minyak RON92 + ubat gegat = RON97 (contoh lah)..
kalau benar, boleh tak tunjukkan calculation ker, persamaan kimia ker etc..
kalau tak benar pon, boleh tak bagi explanation sikit??

Terima kasihhh/...

MYTH.... DULU ADA DLM MYTHBUSTER

ABBOTT SHUTS DOWN DALLAS-BASED BIOPERFORMANCE FOR PEDDLING FAKE
FUEL PILLS IN PYRAMID SCHEME Claims of increased gas mileage to save consumers money called bogus

*AUSTIN - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott* today filed a lawsuit and
obtained a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against
Texas-based BioPerformance Inc. The company, organized as an illegal
pyramid scheme, markets a fuel pill it falsely claims will boost gas
mileage and save consumers money.

"BioPerformance claims its top-secret gas pills can save consumers big
bucks at the gas pump," said Attorney General Abbott. "These claims are
bogus; the pill does absolutely nothing to improve gas mileage. The
company is merely a smokescreen to trigger the recruitment of more and
more paying members into what appears to be an illegal pyramid scheme."

Scientists who tested the product at the University of Texas at Austin
and at a Florida university concluded that the pills are mainly
naphthalene, the chemical found in mothballs. The Attorney General's
laboratory expert actually concluded BioPerformance's product could
decrease engine performance.

Legitimate multi-level marketing businesses pay commissions based on the
sale of goods and services, while illegal pyramids, which the Attorney
General alleges BioPerformance is, pay commissions based mainly on the
recruitment of people to the organization.

Consumers are encouraged to become "dealers" at the various dazzling
seminars BioPerformance sponsors around the country, at start-up costs
of between $300 to over $500. Members can participate at various
levels of "business volume" sales, but ultimately the plan functions on
the basis of how many others a member can recruit to become dealers,
which is by definition a pyramid scheme. On its Web site the company
boasts almost 4,500 Texas members with $25 million in sales since December.

The Attorney General's lawsuit alleges violations of the Texas Deceptive
Trade Practices Act and the promotion of an illegal pyramid scheme,
which can result in penalties of $20,000 per violation. The suit
requests restitution to consumers who have been financially harmed by
the false promises of this operation. These false income promotions
include slick Web site come-ons for new sports cars, mansions and
exclusive vacations "just for helping Americans save money on gas."

The Attorney General's scientific expert also found that the chemical
compound used in these pills can be harmful to humans. Short-term
exposure to naphthalene by humans via inhalation, ingestion or skin
contact can result in anemia and neurological or liver damage.

Consumers who encounter a business that is making false claims or
appears to be operating as a pyramid scheme may file a complaint with
the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at (800) 252-8011 or
file a complaint online at www.oag.state.tx.us

BioPerformance Inc., president and owner Lowell Mims and co-owner
Gustavo Romero of Irving advertise nationally via the Internet and
through seminars around Texas and other states, exploiting the climate
of today's high fuel prices. The company's ads claim the gasoline pills
and powders they offer have a non-toxic "top secret gas pill" that can
increase fuel efficiency by 30 percent or more and cut harmful emissions
by up to 50 percent. In fact, the additive is basically the chemical
equivalent of mothballs, which are toxic.

musang dah jawap dah... myth

Aku ada terbaca...

To increase your petrol mileage. Put 4oz of benzol to each ten gallons of petrol to increase kmh...Kesahihannya blum disahkan..

alpha_dansei

betullah benda tuh myth kan.. okey saya dah paham...
tapi macam mana pulak chemical reaction between naphthalene & gas nih..
dengar citer org, ubat gegat nih akan melarut dlm gasolin..
kalau ambik average hydrocarbon dlm gasolin, Octane C8H18 dan dibandingkan
dgn naphthalene C10H8, pembakaran rantaian carbon tinggi C10 ni patutnye menghasilkan tenaga lebih tinggi??
ada sesape boleh tolong? :ah:

hmm.. benzol tuh aper yek?

musang_pulut

benzena le...C6H6

ka ...

Memang ler...naftalena mmpyi bil C yang tinggi tp kena tgk jgk struktur molekul dia..



Proses pemecahan gelang benzena perlu tenaga tinggi compare dgn oktana



Cara mudah nak tentukan sama ada ianya sesuai jadi bahan bakar adalah pada flash point
naftalena, fp: 79 - 87 癈
oktana: fp: 13癈

alpha_dansei

okey, citer pasal flash point & tenaga nak leraikan ikatan carbon tu mmg make sense..
teringat aku pasal entropy & enthalpy masa sekolah dulu..

tima kasih!
