AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion surrounding the classification of naphthenes and aromatics in a provided table. Participants express uncertainty about the absence of explanations for aromatic compounds, specifically regarding the distinction between saturated and unsaturated naphthene. There is a query about whether benzene and unsaturated naphthene are classified as aromatic, while saturated naphthene is not. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in the table, as it lacks detailed information on aromatic compounds. Despite the table's shortcomings, some participants acknowledge that the chemical formulas can clarify the differences between benzene and cyclohexane, suggesting that understanding these distinctions is crucial for interpreting the information presented.

In this table there are two different naphthene so this confuses me.

They are saturated and non saturated Naphthene .
 
Why arent there any explanation for aromatic in the table and benzene and unsaturated naphthene are written under aromotic so are benzene and unsaturated naphthene are aromatic but saturated naphthene not?
 
What does it mean "aromatic"?

Do you understand the difference between benzene and cyclohexane?
 
Look at the table in the pic, there is no info for aromatic and there are benzene and the other
naphthene.
 
I agree table is not especially good, but formulas given explain rather well what is what. Especially when you know the answers to the question I posted earlier.
 

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...
