How to Create 3D Diagrams for Enantiomer Reactions?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the user's request for assistance in visualizing three specific chemical reactions in 3D. The reactions involve cobalt complexes and their transformations, including the formation of rac-[Co(en)3]Cl3.0.5NaCl.3H2O from CoCl2.6H2O and en.2HCl, followed by the reaction with (+)Tartaric acid to produce [(+)Co(en)3](+)tart]Cl.5H2O, and finally the reaction with NaI to yield [(+)Co(en)3]I3.H2O. The user seeks help in creating 3D representations of these reactions using a computer program, with a preference for visual outputs that can be shared via platforms like Imgur. Explanations accompanying the visualizations would be highly valued.

hi there, I've got three chemical reactions I'm struggling to put into 3d.

1) CoCl2.6H2O + en.2HCL --> rac-[Co(en)3]Cl3.0.5NaCl.3H2O (using NaOH and H2O2 as catalysts)

2) rac-[Co(en)3]Cl3.0.5NaCl.3H2O + (+)Tartaric acid --> [(+)Co(en)3](+)tart]Cl.5H2O

3) [(+)Co(en)3](+)tart]Cl.5H2O + NaI --> [(+)Co(en)3]I3.H2O

anyone able to help? most useful would be the equations done in 3d using a computer program then uploading a screenshot to imgur or something, but really any help is appreciated. thanks heaps :) explanations behind answers most appreciated

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
