AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on challenges faced in developing an HPLC method for analyzing beta-alanine using an Agilent system. The user reports difficulties achieving a satisfactory peak with their current method, which employs a gradient mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in both water and acetonitrile, utilizing a 250 mm C18 column at a flow rate of 1.0 µL. The detection wavelength is set at 214 nm with a 10 µL injection volume at ambient temperature. The gradient profile includes specific ratios of mobile phases over time, but the user expresses uncertainty about the effectiveness of their current setup. Suggestions and troubleshooting advice from other forum members are sought to improve peak resolution and overall method performance.

I am working on HPLC method Beta alanine and unable to get a good enough peak. I'm using an agilent system HPLC ,gradient mobile phase(a: 0.1% formic Acid in Ro water,0.1% Formic acid in ACN) 250 mm C18 4/6x 250 mm column Flow rate 1.0 ul Detector: 214 nm 10 ul injected temp:ambient
Gradient below min A: B: 0 95 5 2 75 25 10 50 50 12 5 95 15 5 95 Im unsure on what I'm not doing correctly! Any help will be appreciated!

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!!
