Calculating U6Bi Stoichiometry: 8.7g U & 1.3g Bi

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the stoichiometric calculation for preparing 10 grams of U6Bi. The initial calculation provided by Rajini indicates a need for 8.7 grams of uranium (U) and 1.3 grams of bismuth (Bi), which is confirmed to be correct but not highly precise. A more accurate breakdown suggests the required amounts are approximately 8.7235 grams of U and 1.2765 grams of Bi.

Hello All,
To preparate 10 g of
U6Bi
we need 8.7 g of U
and 1.3 g of Bi. Is my stoichiometric calculation correct.
THanks, Rajini.

Hmm thanks!
The accurate value..
U=8.723513989 g
Bi=1.276486011 g
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
