I'm a Junior, Chemistry major. My schedule for the fall is the following.
Inorganic Chemistry, Inorganic Lab, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Calculus III. Is this suicidal? or is it possible to pull straight A's having these classes? I have the capacities. I'm just worried about the time. I'm currently taking Calculus II during summer II and doing really well. I feel this could be just as much work as I'm going to have in the fall. Any advices?.

Seems reasonable, though I wonder where your physical chemistry classes are, and why Calculus III (this almost seems like a final year maths course to me).
 

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!!
