AI Thread Summary
Several free software options for drawing chemical elements and simulating chemical reactions are available. ChemDraw and ISISDraw are recommended for Windows and Mac users, offering robust features for chemistry drawing. For Linux users, there are various chemistry applications, although options for simulating reaction mechanisms are limited and not as effective.

ChemDraw and ISISDraw are both good chemistry drawing programs that run under Windows and Mac.

If you are a linux user, there are many chemistry apps out there...if it is reaction mechanisms that you are looking for, unfortunately there aren't too many programs that do them very well.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

Thread 'Ruthenium-Iridium compound with catalytic effects'

Engineers slash iridium use in electrolyzer catalyst by 80%, boosting path to affordable green hydrogen https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/engineers-slash-iridium-use-electrolyzer-catalyst-80-boosting-path-affordable-green Ruthenium is also fairly expensive (a year ago it was about $490/ troy oz, but has nearly doubled in price over the past year, now about $910/ troy oz). I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
