Does anyone have any links or places for me to look for a crash course in enthalpy, bombo calorimeter, and equations dealing with molecular weight or moles in general?

I took a physics class worried about my lack of chemistry background, but everyone told me not to worry about it... Well, getting into Thermodynamics and a attempting a few "refresher" chem problems has told me otherwise.

I don't even have any idea where to start looking. Thanks for the help in davance. :smile:

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!!
