decrease Pressure Volume

AI Thread Summary

The relationship between attractive forces and the real volume of gases compared to ideal gases is crucial in understanding gas behavior. Real gases experience intermolecular attractive forces, which affect their pressure and volume. When the real volume of a gas is reduced and attractive forces increase, the pressure typically decreases due to these intermolecular interactions, which counteract the pressure exerted by the gas particles. In contrast, ideal gases are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces, leading to different behavior under similar conditions. Understanding these dynamics is essential for accurately predicting the behavior of real gases in various applications.

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 'Enthalpy - published values'

Do the published values of Enthalpy include the work done against a constant pressure, e.g., the atmosphere? (I am not a chemist). I am reviewing enthalpy and entropy as part of the statistical mechanics applied to transistors. I assume, from my reading, that the work done would mostly apply to reactions involving gasses.

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!!
