AI Thread Summary
Monopropellants, particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), require specific catalysts for effective decomposition. Not all catalysts can catalyze every reaction; many are selective and only work with particular chemical processes. The effectiveness of a catalyst bed in facilitating H2O2 decomposition depends on the nature of the catalyst used, as random catalysts may not yield the desired results. Understanding the specific interactions between catalysts and monopropellants is crucial for optimizing performance in propulsion applications.

Currently looking up all sorts of stuff about monopropellants(and catalysed reactions), but when anything talks about catalysts, they never say which one. Do all chemical classed as catalysts catalyse anything, could a catalyst bed H2O2 monopropellants decomposition just be a chunk of any random catalyst?
Thanks for any help

No, some catalysts are quire specific.
 

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!!
