    Argon Gas Water
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a research project focused on sonoluminescence and the effects of argon presence in water. The main inquiry is about methods to accurately and easily measure argon gas concentration. It is highlighted that argon is chemically inert, which limits chemical detection methods. A suggestion is made to search online for resources related to "argon determination in water," which yields promising results for the researcher's needs.

I am doing a research project on sonoluminescence and I am researching if any changes to argon would be made if argon is present in the water. For this I want to find a way to measure the concentration of argon gas accurately and easily. Can anyone help me, whether it be an equation to use, chemical used to detect it or a probe or anything. Please answer quickly.

Thank You!

Argon is chemically inert, so there are no chemical methods to detect it.

Have you tried googling? Some of the very first hits for "argon determination in water" look promising.
 
You got it. Thank you
 
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...
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!!
