AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of deoxidizing iron inclusions within natural Kyanite crystals, particularly those that appear rusty. The initial inquiry seeks clarification on the process of reduction in this context. However, responses indicate skepticism about the possibility of effectively reducing iron within the crystal structure, suggesting that the task may be impractical. The conversation emphasizes the challenges associated with altering the chemical state of inclusions in natural minerals.

Hello,

I was wondering if we can deoxidize Iron inside a crystal like Kyanite (Natural form), which contains Fe inclusions (sometimes rusty)...

Thanks in advance.

Deoxidize... you probably mean reduction. Please elaborate on what you want to do, it is not clear.

Probably impossible no matter what you are thinking of.
 

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!!
