That molecule certainly does exist. It happens to be quite reactive and polymerizes very easily but it's a perfectly good molecule. I'm certain you have seen some. The pale blue colour in a gas or candle flame is the light emission from excited C2 molecules returning to the ground state.

Default recipe anyone can try ?

2/3rd cup 1% choc. milk
1/3rd cup big8 lemon big up pop


seems to form a liquid foam and seems from my perspective to taste like cream soda lol.


drink quickly for it not to seperate.

oh I forgot to mention do this in a bigger glass as I did it in a 2 cup volume and I used this basic assumed recipe and I got another cup worth of foam on top.

Ironically I just saw something like this on CNN lol

so effectively use industries waste to form drinking water. and filter the carbon to get enough for nanotubes.
And where would the energy required for this chemical transformation come from?

So, you need to study how energy is involved in chemical reactions.

I know it breaks bonds etc. I can't remember most of my chemistry classes and I got bad grades in it for failure to organize what my homework was and complete it most days.

I think that methane would worsen the problem... It is a green house gas 20x more potent than carbon dioxide. Further... I think that it would be very hard to mix it with C2- a very unstable molecule. What is to prevent this from binding with other molecules?

This is NOT a likely chemical reaction. Both CH4 and CO2 are stable. Are you adding heat? This reaction won't happen on its own, if at all.

that was originally suggested by someone else I think I just went along with it also it would be using it from the environment hence it may come with energy to perform the reaction also yes C2 is bad but if it's formed enough it can form C60 or other things and the water can be cooled and used.

I think that you have to understand that amount of energy required.
