AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the best methods for capturing images from Molden, with users expressing dissatisfaction with the Print Screen function as an effective solution. Suggestions include using the camera icon feature within Molden, although it is criticized for its poor performance. An alternative recommended tool is Jmol, which is highlighted as a better option for image capture. Overall, the consensus leans towards avoiding Molden for this purpose due to its limitations.

Just curious what the best way to pull off an image from Molden is? To me it seems that Print Screen is a bit of a silly way to do it; any suggestions?

It's the icon that looks like a camera. But really, don't use Molden for that, it's horrible.
Try http://jmol.sourceforge.net/" instead.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

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...

Thread 'Enthalpy - published values'

Do the published values of Enthalpy include the work done against a constant pressure, e.g., the atmosphere? (I am not a chemist). I am reviewing enthalpy and entropy as part of the statistical mechanics applied to transistors. I assume, from my reading, that the work done would mostly apply to reactions involving gasses.

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!
