Quirky Science Facts!

[Guest chendoh]

The Terracotta Army are thousands of life-sized figures in fired clay of soldiers who were to guard China's Emperor Qiu Shihuangdi after his death in the 3rd century BC. Discovered by peasants digging a well in 1974, at Xian, it is often referred to as the Eigth Wonder of the World! :)

 

Okay - more History than Science, but still cool, okay?

 

Not when you consider the TC lasting for more than 2100 years, the potter must of had one heck of a formula.

 

And If you look at them closely, they don't look like they were fired very hard.

All the compounds of copper are poisonous!!!!

:):rolleyes:

[Jay-qu]

All the compounds of copper are poisonous!!!!

:rolleyes::confused:

Then would you consider it safe to have all your water running through copper pipes?

[Qfwfq]

Not that lead, from which the word 'plumbing' derives, is much less toxic. Use of these pipes relies on a layer of insoluble oxide forming.

Would that oxide be considered a compound?

[Qfwfq]

Would that oxide be considered a compound?

Sure but the trick is that it stays put and forms a protective layer.

 

Quirky enough?

Which implies that not all compounds of copper are poisonous :confused:

[Qfwfq]

Which doesn't imply that! :confused:

 

Try scrapin' off the compound and swallowin' it...

[Kayra]

Which doesn't implie that! :confused:
