    Chamber Measure
AI Thread Summary
To measure the remaining oxygen levels in a chamber that is not perfectly sealed, electrochemical sensors designed for measuring the partial pressure of oxygen are recommended. These sensors are widely available and offer a non-destructive method for assessing oxygen concentration.

Dear all:

I want to make a chamber as O2-free. The chamber is not perfectly sealed, so it has some small holes. I have used N2 gas (by pumping N2 from one input and escaping of O2 from holes in junctions). Now, I want to measure the amount of remaining O2 inside chamber. How can I do that? Is there any meter or other non-destructive! way?

Thank you very much,
Regards

Yes, there are electrochemical sensors that measure the partial pressure of oxygen; they are easily found with an Internet search.
 
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!!
