AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking assistance with Seasolve's PeakFit software for fitting Gaussian curves to UV-vis spectra. The user expresses a desire to automate the peak fitting process to achieve a specific R-squared value, as their current method feels improvised. They request advice and tips for effectively using PeakFit. Additionally, a suggestion is made to explore an alternative peak fitting program called Fityk, which is free and may offer useful features.

Now, I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this in but I need some help with a particular peakfitting software, and my advisor has never used it before so I can't really ask anyone in our lab.

I am currently using seasolve's PeakFit, what I am trying to do is fit a gaussian curve to some UV-vis spectra in a particular wavelength range. I can do this but the way I am doing this seems very ad hocish to me. What I really want to do is use the automated peakfiting to fit a gaussian to this particular wavelength range to a particular r-squared value. I am wondering if anyone has any advice for doing this, or tips and tricks for using peakfit in general.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I haven't used PeakFit for a long time, so don't have an answer to your question, but you may have a look at another peak fitting program: http://www.unipress.waw.pl/fityk/" (it's free).

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!!
