Flax is useful in very many ways. The Latin species name ''usitatissimum'' means "most useful", pointing to the many traditional uses of the plant and their importance for human life.
==Uses==
==Uses==
* The fibers are spun to make [[linen]] thread.
===Primary===
* The seeds, separated and pressed, the seeds produce linseed oil. which is used for waterproofing cloth tarps. Because it oxidizes readily, it is also used as a paint substrate. Combined with cork, sawdust, and [[chalk]] and applied to a cloth backing, it forms linoleum, a waterproof floor surface known colloquially as '''linoleum'''.
* Chelation treatment for heavy metals including [[mercury]], [[bismuth]], [[chromium]], [[cobalt]], [[gold]], [[nickel]], [[lead]], antimony, cadmium, and arsenic

==Natural occurrence==
<blockquote>
* '''does not''' occur naturally
The soils most suitable for flax, besides the alluvial kind, are deep loams, and containing a large proportion of organic matter. Heavy clays are unsuitable, as are soils of a gravelly or dry sandy nature. Farming flax requires few fertilizers or pesticides. Within 8 weeks of sowing, the plant will reach 10–15 cm in height, and will grow several centimeters per day under its optimal growth conditions, reaching 70–80 cm within fifteen days.

dimercaprol

  1. Combine 2,3-dibromo propanol with sodium hydrosulfide
    C3H6Br2O + 2 NaSH → CH2SH-CHSH-CH2OH + 2 NaBr

sodium hydrosulfide

  1. Bubble hydrogen sulfide through a solution of sodium hydroxide which possibly contains some amount of solid sodium sulfide (Na2S).
    H2S(g) + NaOH(aq)
    {
    →
    130-150°C}
