AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the idea of making beer easier to transport by removing water while retaining alcohol content. One suggested method is fractional freezing, which involves lowering the temperature to separate water from alcohol. However, it's important to note that both fractional freezing and distillation of alcohol are illegal in many areas without a permit. The conversation emphasizes the need for caution and awareness of legal implications when experimenting with alcohol concentration methods.

Hi
I'm new but I figured, this is a good place to start.
Suppose I had a bottle of beer, and I wanted to somehow make that bottle of beer a little more easy to transport. Is there a way of getting the water out while retaining the alcohol so that upon adding good clean water back into a much smaller bottle of beer, I get back a beer? Don't worry about the carbonation. :)
Just toying about with the idea.

You may be able to concentrate the beer via fractional freezing. I should note that, like distilation, concentrating alcohol via fractional freezing is illegal without a permit in many locations.
 
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!!
