Crash Course in Chem: Enthalpy, Bombo Calorimeter & Molecular Weight/Moles

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for resources to understand key chemistry concepts such as enthalpy, bomb calorimetry, and calculations involving molecular weight and moles. The individual expresses concern about their chemistry background, especially when tackling thermodynamics and related problems. A recommended resource is "Chemistry in the Community" (ChemCom), which provides educational materials that may help bridge the knowledge gap. The emphasis is on finding accessible crash courses or introductory materials to build a foundational understanding in these topics.

Does anyone have any links or places for me to look for a crash course in enthalpy, bombo calorimeter, and equations dealing with molecular weight or moles in general?

I took a physics class worried about my lack of chemistry background, but everyone told me not to worry about it... Well, getting into Thermodynamics and a attempting a few "refresher" chem problems has told me otherwise.

I don't even have any idea where to start looking. Thanks for the help in davance. :smile:

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 '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...
