    Ions Rusting
AI Thread Summary
Ions play a significant role in the rusting process, primarily through redox reactions, which are essential for understanding corrosion chemistry. A solid grasp of thermodynamics is also crucial, as it underpins the principles governing these reactions. Recommended resources for further study include "Basic Concepts of Chemistry" by Leo Malone and "Microbiology" by Prescott et al., which provide insights into thermodynamics and its application in natural processes. Additionally, Atkins' works are suggested for a comprehensive understanding of these concepts. Understanding these foundational elements is vital for effectively addressing rusting and corrosion issues.

how does ions affect rusting
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
if you ever deal with ions best is to look at redox reactions and understand their concept prior to attempting anything else. Second it would be good to brush up on thermodynamics that is relevant to general chemistry. The best source is "Basic Concepts of Chemistry" by Leo Malone, its published by Wiley. The best book I have found that explains fundamental laws of thermodynamics in nature is Microbiology by Prescott et al.

[/sidetrack]This is a bold and unusual claim[/sidetrack] I would recommend Atkins - it's good and more.
 

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!!
