AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a university panel presentation on the topic "WOW in chemistry." The original poster is uncertain about the meaning of "WOW," speculating whether it refers to surprising discoveries in chemistry, particularly those resulting from accidents, or if it pertains to remarkable chemical experiments. A participant suggests that "WOW" might be an acronym, potentially related to emulsions, referencing AcronymFinder for clarification. The urgency of the situation is emphasized, as the panel discussion is scheduled for three days later, highlighting the need for clear guidance on the topic.

Since it is in all caps, I'm guessing WOW is an acronym, and not an exclamation. And from the AcronymFinder website, I'm guessing they will want to discuss Emulsions...

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!!
