I've read the Wiki several times. I have no issue understanding how induction heating works in principle. What I don't understand is where the numbers/calculations come from. Very few guides on the topic go into any depth about it, they only explain the basic principle of it.

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in EE forum. I've been learning about induction heating for the past few hours and scoured every video on youtube and every web article I could come across and I still lack an understanding of how to determine the heat output of an induction heater. I...

Thank you :). That's what I was thinking as I was typing the post out but I wanted to make sure. That sure does simplify things a lot for me.

This is more electrical engineering than chemistry I would think. If the current density required is 200mA per cm^2, and the electrode is a hollow copper tube that is submersed in an electrolyte in which the inside of the tube is not touching any solution, should the current be calculated...

Is this so? I remember reading that the electrical requirement to reduce H-H is not much higher than the electrical requirement to reduce a number of compounds that are very commonly reduced electrochemically, such as the bond between N-O2 bonds. I did come across this study, in the abstract...

Thank you. Electrochemistry is an underexplored field in my opinion with a lot of potential. Can I ask why you said there will be a problem finding a solvent? I was thinking both a H2O solution or an alcohol solution could would as long as the electrolyte is largely dissolvable and nonreactive...

Would the electrochemical reduction of H2 form Hydrogen Anions of H- H2 + 2e- -> 2H- If this is the case, is the following true? H- + (1/2)H2 -> H2

Imagine there is a reaction performed and it contains a product that is easily separable via an acid base extraction. This product is only formed in 50% yield. The other 50% formed unwanted products that are to be separated and done away with. If all that is known is the structure of these...

Ah, so, if I carefully control the PH, I can add acid until the PH is neutral, and then I could decant off mixture and be left with the remaining carboxylic acid? Will this acid-base neutralization leave any solid residual products in the mistd of my carboxylic? I realize that NaOH + HCL will...

That is a possibility but then I face the problem of the formed salt(from the NaOH being neutralized by an acid) potentially being unseparable from the carboxylic-acid. This of course could be done if the salt can be filted out from the acid with water rinses, but this would assume that the acid...

I have an amino carboxylic acid that is practically insoluble in most alcohols and in water, but supposedly soluble in an 20% NaOH solution. A basic reaction is run with an organic solvent/reactant, and the amino carboxylic acid dissolved in the NaOH solution. After the reaction the layers...
