AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Debye-Hückel Rule and the effect of relaxation in the presence of an electric field. The initial query seeks clarification on how relaxation occurs under these conditions, suggesting a misunderstanding of the relationship between electric fields and molecular behavior. Participants clarify that relaxation refers to the reshaping of the ionic cloud surrounding a central ion when an electric field is applied. It is emphasized that while the electric field can shift the equilibrium positions of ions, it does not halt the relaxation process. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding ionic interactions and the dynamics of electrolyte behavior in electric fields.

Dear Fellows,
In Debye Huckle Rule, how does Relaxation effect occurs in the presence of electric field.Logically it is not possible in the presence of electric field.Please help me out.

Thanks
Faisal

Plz Plz Plz Reply this question i m an urgent need for this explanation.PLZZZ help out..
 
I fear I don't quite understand your question. Relaxation of what?
Maybe you can extend the description of what exactly you are interested in?

Btw, the second guy is called "Hückel", not Huckle.
 
Sorry for Huckel:-) relaxation effect of the molecules in the electrolyte when the electric field is applied..??
 
OK, you mean reshaping of the ionic cloud after the "central" ion moved.

Why would the electric field stop the process? It can shift the equilibrium positions of ions, but it won't stop the relaxation.
 

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...
