Can Carbon & Nitrogen React at High Temperatures?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential reaction between carbon sourced from graphene sheets and nitrogen gas at high temperatures. While carbon nitrides do exist, there is skepticism regarding their formation under the specific conditions mentioned. It is noted that no nitride formation occurs on graphite crucibles even when heated to temperatures between 1000-2000°C in air, suggesting that achieving the desired reaction may not be feasible at reasonable pressures and temperatures.

C+N2 (@ hight T)--> ?

Hi all,

I wonder if carbon (from graphene sheets) and nitrogen gas (from a compressed cylinder) can react at high temperatures?

Thank you very much.

Yes carbon nitrides exist, but that link doesn't say anything about them forming in the manner described by the OP. I'm doubtful you would see any nitride formation at any reasonable pressures/temperatures. You don't see any nitride formation on graphite crucibles when heated to 1000-2000 C in air.

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!!
