AI Thread Summary
To convert a coefficient of thermal expansion from 7.78E-6 K^-1 to C^-1, it's important to note that the conversion between Kelvin (K) and Celsius (C) is straightforward since a change of 1 K is equivalent to a change of 1 °C. Therefore, the coefficient remains the same in both units, meaning 7.78E-6 K^-1 is also 7.78E-6 C^-1. The confusion arises from the fact that while the temperature scales differ by an offset, the rates of change are identical. Thus, no additional conversion factor is needed for this specific case.

Ok, so I know this shouldn't be so hard. I am trying to convert a Coefficient of thermal expansion from 7.78E-6k^-1 to C^-1. But, I'm not sure what the conversion rate would be in this case. This is an odd conversion because you add to switch between C and K. So I'm not sure how to convert these rates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I'm an idiot. I knew it was something simple.
 

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!!
