Question: How can I "transport" a single H20 molecule without physically moving it or using gasses it over 12 ft. with a wall dividing the space?
To "transport" a single H2O molecule without physically moving it or using gases over 12 ft with a wall dividing the space, you can use a chemical reaction or a chain of reactions. Here is a step-by-step process to achieve this: 1. First, place a water container at your starting point. 2. Next, find a chemical agent that reacts with water to form a new compound - this will absorb the single H2O molecule. For example, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) can absorb water to form hydrated calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O). 3. Bring that new compound (the hydrated calcium chloride) over to the other 12 ft location by any means without involving the gas phase. 4. At the destination, add a suitable reactant to extract the previously bound H2O molecule back into the water. One way is to use sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). It reacts with the hydrated calcium chloride to produce calcium carbonate (CaCO3 - a solid), sodium chloride (NaCl - a salt), and water: CaCl2.2H2O + Na2CO3 → CaCO3 + 2NaCl + 2H2O Make sure all the reactions take place in solid or liquid phase. 5. With proper filtering methods, you can now isolate a single H2O molecule from the resulting water. This method allows you to "transport" the H2O molecule by integrating it into a different compound, moving that compound, and releasing the H2O molecule at the desired location. Of course, you might also transport several other water molecules during this process, but the principle still applies.
