AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking resources related to the effects of acids, particularly pH levels, on polymers and plastics. The original poster requests articles or papers on this topic. A participant suggests using Sci-Finder as a valuable resource for finding relevant scientific literature. Additionally, there is a brief mention of the acid value of polymers, indicating a potential area of interest for further exploration. Overall, the focus is on obtaining academic and research materials related to polymer and acid interactions.

Hi,

Could anyone lend some suggestions as to where to find information on acid's (pH's) effects on polymers (specifically plastics, but the general polymer/acid reactions are good too). I would especially like articles or papers that relate to this topic, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sci-Finder is great!
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
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!!
