¿por qué el éter etílico es mucho menos soluble en agua que el alcohol ter-butílico?

Even though they have the same empirical formula, ethyl ether is much less polar than tert-butanol. tert-butanol has an OH that is polar and interacts with water to render it more soluble.

what is the fiesta in Marbella called ‘Verbena El Salto del Agua’?

October 29, 2009 - 1:09 pm 2 Comments

im going on holiday to Marbella, Spain on early August this year and this fiesta is on…. any ideas whats involved?

Marbella used to be called ‘Salt City’…Salduba …when the Romans were there.
It was changed to Marbil-la by the Moors.

The current popularity of Marbella as a resort started with the breakdown of a Rolls-Royce car driven by a German prince in the area in the 1940s.

The old quarter is very pleasant and the beach is OK but the last time I was there, 18 months ago we had three days of torrential rain along the south coast of Spain and I spent one morning under the awning of an ice-cream and coffee parlour by the road along the beach front while the police 4×4 drove by every hour or so checking the floods. The hill leading down there from the town centre looked like a waterfall. There was nobody else in sight from the beach road apart from the severely over-worked Senorita in the parlour who had another coffee to make every forty minutes or so……..Escaping from Malaga’s equally heavy rain didn’t actually improve things for me for the weather but the lone company was excellent.

I’m not sure if I spelled it right. My friend mentioned it’s an upper or a downer for parties. Is it some kind or drug? or an Alcohol mixture?

That’s "Water" in spanish and french.

This is my personal favorite:

Agua de Horchata (or-CHAT-ah) Mexican Rice Water Recipe

This unusual beverage originated with the Aztecs. It is very popular in Mexico, and pairs exceptionally well with the flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine.

Ingredients:

Serves 8 cups

2 cupslong-grain white rice, ground fine
2 whole 2-inch cinnamon sticks
1-1.5 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
boiling water for soaking
ice cubes

METHOD:

1. Place the rice and cinnamon in a spacious, heat-resistant mixing bowl and add enough boiling water to cover. Top with plastic wrap and set aside for eight hours, or overnight.

2. Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer, drain well, and discard the water.

3. Place half of the softened rice, cinnamon sticks, and four cups of water in a blender and liquefy. Repeat with the remaining rice and water.

4. Pour the mixture through a double layer of cheesecloth set in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Discard the solids.

5. Add the sugar and vanilla to the bowl and mix until dissolved.

6. Pour the Agua de Horchata into a pitcher and chill 2–3 hours before serving.

7. Serve over ice in individual glasses.

Does anyone know how to make the drink "Agua de Sevilla"?

October 9, 2009 - 12:32 pm 3 Comments


AGUA de SEVILLA

100ml Whiskey

(Whisky, or whiskey, refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from grains and aged in oak casks.)

150ml Cognac

(Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a brandy, which is produced in the region surrounding the town. It must be made from at least 90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes. The rest of the cognac can consist of ten selected grapes. However, most cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only. It must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged at least 2 and 1/2 years in French oak barrels in order to be called cognac.)

150ml Cointreau

(Cointreau (pronounced [kwan'-tro]) is a brand of triple sec liqueur, and produced in Saint-Barthélemy-d’Anjou, a suburb of Angers, France. Cointreau sources its oranges from all over the world, usually Spain and Haiti.)

700ml Pineapple Juice

(Self-explanatory.)

900ml Cava

(Cava is the name of a type of white or pink sparkling wine, produced mainly in the Penedès region in Catalonia, (the Catalan Countries), 40 km to the south west of Barcelona. Its name is derived from the Catalan word for cellar.)

Coco Lopez, optional

(Coco Lopez is a Puerto Rican coconut product which is used in many popular drinks.)

Enjoy!
