AI Thread Summary
To dissolve solid strontium, which is an alkaline metal, it is essential to consider its reactivity. Strontium does not dissolve easily in solutions without undergoing a reaction. The discussion suggests that simply shaving strontium may not be efficient or safe. Instead, the focus is on preparing strontium in a form that can be mixed with a conductive dispersion containing graphite, n-Butyl Acetate, and Ethyl Cellulose. The proposed method involves using an electrolyte like KOH or NaOH, but it is noted that strontium will react rather than dissolve without a reaction occurring. Therefore, careful handling and preparation are crucial for achieving the desired outcome in the conductive dispersion.

How do you chemically dissolve Strontium in it's solid form? (It's an alkaline metal)

I need it in some kind of liquid form or flakes (I was thinking of just shaving it down but that might not be as efficient nor very safe) so I can then put it into another solution of graphene conductive dispersion.

I'm planning on mixing it with an electrolyte such as KOH or NaOH

However, how do you get Strontium metal prepared so it will dissolve in the solution?

Without reaction? You don't.
 

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!!
