AI Thread Summary
To compare the amounts of calcium carbonate in two different shells, a suggested experiment involves using an acid to react with the carbonate. The reaction produces salt, water, and carbon dioxide, which can be measured to determine the calcium carbonate content. Participants in the discussion noted the importance of conducting the experiment in a controlled environment and suggested seeking additional resources in the chemistry section of the forum for more detailed guidance. There was also a mention of previous responses to similar questions, indicating that the topic had been addressed before.

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!!
