AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around frustration with the complexities of chemistry, particularly the concept of equilibrium. The original poster expresses feelings of overwhelm and confusion, describing their experience as emotionally taxing. Another participant suggests that if there are no specific scientific questions, the thread could be moved to a more general discussion area, as similar grievances about chemistry have been shared before. Ultimately, the poster decides to withdraw the thread, indicating it was primarily a venting session rather than a request for information.

Dynamis, do you have a specific scientific question to ask in the area of chemistry ? If not, I'll move this to General Discussion. People have griped about chemistry there in the past.
 
Nah that's okay, just delete this thread. I was just venting.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

Thread 'Ruthenium-Iridium compound with catalytic effects'

Engineers slash iridium use in electrolyzer catalyst by 80%, boosting path to affordable green hydrogen https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/engineers-slash-iridium-use-electrolyzer-catalyst-80-boosting-path-affordable-green Ruthenium is also fairly expensive (a year ago it was about $490/ troy oz, but has nearly doubled in price over the past year, now about $910/ troy oz). I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
