AI Thread Summary
Determining anodic and cathodic peak currents in quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetry (CV) can be challenging due to the difficulty in establishing a baseline. Unlike reversible CVs, where peak identification is straightforward, quasi-reversible CVs require careful consideration of the baseline placement to accurately assess peak currents. Techniques such as using the tangent method or baseline correction algorithms may be helpful in this context. Additionally, analyzing the peak shapes and their corresponding potentials can provide insights into the reaction kinetics, aiding in the identification of peak currents.

I have a series of CV recordings (25 mV/s, 50 mV/s to 100 mV/s) that yield quasi-reversible CVs. I cannot post the exact data or molecule because it's protected by an NDA.

How do I determine the anodic peak current and the cathodic peak current? For reversible CVs it seems like a fairly easy task, but it's hard to tell where to place the baseline on a quasi-reversible CV.

Anyone know anything about this?
 

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!!
