Well, urine and sugar aren’t going to make arsenic, which is a separate element that isn’t present in either.
Could it make another poisonous compound? Maybe, but I doubt it. Urine may be disgusting, but it isn’t poisonous. (Sailor dying of thirst die from drinking their urine, but that’s because they overdose on the salt in it. It wouldn’t kill you all that quickly, and you’d probably survive if you had access to fresh water.)
Finally, I live in the Albany, NY, area and AFAIK there is no ordinance against giving away free sugar. You can pick up packets of sugar in any restaurant.
urine is completely sterile. Arsenic can only be made from something else with an atom smasher, and I don’t think sugar does that. Urine does contain urea and uric acid, both of which are harmless in the quantity they are in. Sugar is just carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Nothing too dangerous there. Ammonia boils at such a low temperature it would evaporate away in a week or neutralize itself by absorbing more water.
Look up that law. My bet is that it does not exist.
And SoulSearching, ammonia only sets up crystals at very very low temperatures.
Socrates was made to drink hemlock, and arsenic is an element found easily enough on the periodic table (i.e. a substance made up of uniform atoms, like iron and gold, and not the product of a chemical mixture). Arsenic is a metal and can be found in alloys with other metals, refined and used casually to poison people in huge numbers, though Socrates wasn’t one of them.
There’s a cave-dweller about, but it ain’t (necessarily) red_dragon.
So, you can make arsenic from, say, old lace by putting it in a particle accelerator, causing a collision, and re-assembling the subatomic particles into arsenic?
Sign me up. 'Cept I want to study making Platinum from navel lint.
In theory, you can transmute any element into any other elment by nuclear processes, but the cost is going to be far more expensive than conventional methods.
I suppose if a substance, like Hemlock, contained Arsenic, you could get pure Arsenic by Hemlock’s decomposition, hence forming the element Arsenic from something else…
The kicker here is that a particle collider does not seperate molecules into atoms, but rather atoms into subatomic particles. I don’t know of any ways to specify the assembly of quarks and gluons into anything that we want them to become, no matter the cost.
Are you drinking your own urine? Are you splashing it all over your face and rubbing it in your hair? If not, you might as well be flushing it down the toilet.
It’s liquid sunshine, people! Fill those oversize pickle jars in your basement and glug it down proper. Load up the ice trays in your workplace freezer. You owe it to your kids, your spouse, certainly yourself. Ancient Chinese secret.
