AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on developing a mixing fluid calculator to determine the masses of two components (m1 and m2) based on known temperatures and total volume. The user has successfully solved for the final temperature (Tf) but seeks a method to calculate both m1 and m2 when the total mass (mt) is known. Given a total volume of 99ml at 20 degrees Celsius, with initial temperatures T1 at 25 degrees and T2 at 10 degrees, the user proposes a formula for m2: m2 = m1 (T1 - Tf) / (Tf - T2). The conversation emphasizes the need for a simultaneous calculation of m1 and m2 within a spreadsheet framework, highlighting the challenge of achieving this with the provided data.

TL;DR Summary
Need to manipulate T(final) = (m1_T1 + m2_T2) / (m1 + m2) to solve for m2
Trying to build a mixing fluid calculator and cannot for the life of me figure out how to solve for m2 rather then Tf

Got an answer to question 1, but bonus question: is there anyway to solve for m2 and m1 if mt is known?

IE given a total volume of mixture IE 99ml, at 20 deg. I know T1 is 25 deg, and T2 is 10.. Using the math it tells me I need 33ml of T2 and 66ml of T1. This will be built into a spreadsheet, is there anyway to calculate both t1 and t2 at the same time?

I suggest it is,
m2 = m1 (T1 - Tf) / (Tf - T2)

Thank you so much!
 

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 '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!!
