how could you start an uncontrolled bosch Reaction or Sabatier reaction on venus or mars?

You would need an enormous source of hydrogen, to make the reaction self sustained. That would mean a lot of water and electricity.\n\nMy idea to solve for excess CO2 would be to genetically modify algae so that they can live on Mars or Venus.

You can try Muratic Acid ( dilute 4 parts water with 1 part acid )\nMix in a 5 gal bucket , pour on tire marks then scrub with a stiff bristle broom and hose off . That should do it but do not breath the vapors , I recommend wearing a protective mask ( available at your local hardware store ) .

Read: Men are from Mars, Women from Venus and buy a Venus fly trap plant. I guarantee you will feel better.

I think the concentrations would be too small to be visible.  you would only be able to react with the available OH-'s, which is 10^-7 mol/L, in theory the maximum quantity of Pb(OH)2 you could make then would be 5x10^-8 mol/L.  If Le Chatelier's principle came into play maybe a little more, but that's assuming everything reacted, which probably wont happen.

It depends on a variety of things: the angle of entry into the atmosphere, the size of the comet, the composition of the comet, etc.\n\nAn interesting note: one of the proposals for terraforming Mars is to use ice-coments to raise the amount of water vapor, create a greenhouse effect, and both warm the planet and add to the water on Mars.

You could rig a "Dean-Stark Trap" on the side of your condensor. That will eliminate water from your esterification (assuming its similar to the Fisher esterification) and force the production of more water and product, until one of the reagents is used up or an equilibrium is achieved.\n\nAnother method would be TLC, comparing the starting reaction mixture to the final product.\n\nSpectroscopy (NMR, IR) could be used.\n\nFinally, you could just put some of your sample into a GC-MS.

Chemical reactions are fun how about a baking soda volcano?\nor you can make an experiment showing air pressure and oxygen use, use a big clear jar( mayo peanut butter) a pie plate a bit of modeling clay a candle and some colored water and some pennies.\nplace the clay  in the center of the pie plate\nplace the pennies 2 or 3 high( you may wish to tape them, make 3 or 4 sets set them around the clay so they will support the jar up from the bottom of the pie plate\nplace a birthday candle into the clay  fill the pie plate with enough colored water to cover the edge of the jar and a little more when it is upside down on the pennies\nnow remove the jar, light the candle and replace the jar over it.\nThe candle will go out. this shows that fire needs oxygen and uses the oxygen in the jar.\nIf your jar is not too big you will see the water rise up into the jar. The gas in the jar has changed, it does not have the same pressure it did before the oxygen was removed. The pressure from the outside air makes the water rise. This demonstrates air pressure. Have the teacher light the candle. try it at home a few times you may have to change jar or glass size to get a good effect.\nI do not recommend the electric pickle experiment.

You could use a catalyst to turn CO2 into a oxygenate.\n\nPlants would be the most efficient and cheapest way possible as far as I know. But plants won't just grow on mars, you would need to make the conditions suitable for plant life to survive. I think they were talking about man-made global warming to increase the atmosphere and warm it up for possible teraforming. \n\nAlso, there is water on mars already and why would you want it to rain carbon?

It seems unnecessary since space settlement will be able to build more than a thousand times the Earth's surface area for us to live on while with Venus you might get the surface area of the Earth after a lot of effort and with Mars you'll get maybe a third or so (unless you do without oceans).\n\nTerraforming though is certainly possible, Mars would be easier than Venus but Venus would probably be a better planet once you finished it.\n\nTo terraform Mars you just increase the thickness of the atmosphere, put some plants there to give it oxygen and get some more heat to the planet (either you create a greenhouse effect or you put mirrors in orbit of the planet).  The biggest problem with Mars is the lower gravity.  It might not be a problem or might only be a problem if the Martians want to return to Earth or it might be almost as bad as zero g (and unlike in space it is very hard to make a large centrifuge on a planet).  The higher gravity will also make Mars incapable of holding an atmosphere with a lot of oxygen in it for any great length of time so over millions of years you'll have to replace the oxygen that leaks out.\n\nVenus has higher gravity (about 90% of Earth) so I don't expect gravity to be a problem there although heat is going to be a big problem.  Venus simply receives too much sunlight which is why it is so hot.  Even if you were to remove the atmosphere it would still be 100 °C which is far too hot for anyone to live so you have to reduce the insolation somehow.  Moving the planet would be the best way in my opinion although a giant filter between Venus and the sun (say at Sun-Venus L1) would also work.  Once you reduce the amount of sunlight striking the planet you can start to work on getting the atmosphere down to a more reasonable pressure by removing the CO_2 preferably by putting it into the rocks and then adding water.\n\nWith water you can then add plants and get photosynthesis going so that you can get the oxygen atmosphere needed.\n\nMercury might be another possibility but it combines the problems of Mars (low gravity and small size) with the problems of Venus (too much sunlight).

How about the red fountain experiment with acids and litmus solutions? mail me at pr4kane@yahoo.com for furhter details on it. u can try electroplating,bleaching by chlorine/so2,the brown ring test with sulphuric acid etc.

This is a brilliant thought. Please read the book "The Case for Mars" by Dr Robert Zubrin, PhD. for a nuts and bolts down to earth scientific discussion of what it would take to put men on Mars, and ultimately to turn Mars into an Earthlike planet. It is available on amazon.com and in many local bookstores. I highly recommend it.
