What is methyl isocyanate?
Answer .
Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C2H3NO, arranged as H3C-N=C=O. Synonyms are isocyanatomethane, methyl carbylamine, and M…IC. It was discovered in 1888 as an ester of isocyanic acid. As a highly toxic and irritating material, it is hazardous to human health. The great 1984 industrial disaster in Bhopal, India that killed thousands of people was caused by the release of methyl isocyanate vapor.

What is methyl hydrate?
Methyl Hydrate is simply another word for Methanol; which is the simplest form of alcohol. By that I mean it has the least atoms in each molecule of all the alcohols - s…uch as ethanol and propanol. It has a formula of CH3OH. It is volatile (explodes easily), and also rather poisonous. It occurs naturally, and is produced by some plants. It is the contributing chemical compound in the process of producing 'biodiesel'. (which is quite frankly a bad idea anyway while I'm on the subject - seeing as thousands of acres of forestry have been destroyed to clear growing space for sugar cane [or maize] to produce the methanol to make the ethanol, which makes the biodiesel - and thus, it is doing the environment a lot more harm than it is good, by destroying the worlds only natural response to global warming - photosynthesis - and especially when you consider the heavy machinery involved in both deforestation and harvesting the crops, then the transportation on large ships back to the USA then the UK and the rest of Europe where it is also becoming popular: all these things combined are surely increasing the carbon emissions, not helping them! And whats more, the ethanol is mostly mixed with around 40-60% normal diesel (or petrol) to make the biofuel, so its benefits are again decreased. The only real way to 'save the planet' through biofuel, is to make it yourself at home. I know a farmer who does it, and his truck runs well on it. Im sure there is info on the web on how to do it - just type something simple like 'how to make your own biofuel'. And dont be scared by words like 'transesterification'. ) (MORE)

What is methyl masterdrol?
Methyl Masterdrol is basically an oral steriod (a.k.a. Prohormone) used in body building to promote muscle growth. IMO it is a bad route to go when it comes to weight-tr…aining as it has been said to have some not so good side effects. Keep it natural!! (MORE)

What does methylating DNA do?
DNA methylation essentially causes DNA to stick to the histones. RNA polymerase, an enzyme that splits DNA apart for transcription, cannot access methylated DNA, so it isn't u…sed in protein synthesis. It is effectively silenced by the attached methyl group. (MORE)

How is methyl made?
There is no such thing as a lone 'methyl'. A methyl group is a CH3 extending off an organic compounds main carbon chain. They can be created by the Sn2 reaction on iodomethane…, or by the reaction of methyl lithium or MeMgCl with a carbon atom that is substituted with a leaving group (MORE)

What are methyl markers?
Methyl markers are basically things that will turn on or off genes so certain traits will be expressed and some wont, they are supposed to help adapt the fetus to better suit …the environment it thinks its going into, these markers usually do this while the baby is still in the womb and some come after its out.

What is the charge of methyl?
I don't understand "the charge of methyl". A methyl group isn'tformally charged. It's normally a slight electron donor (a weaklyactivating group, if you prefer that terminolog…y), if that helps. (MORE)
