AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying a specific term for the study of liquids and gases during transformation. While the broader field of chemistry encompasses this topic, participants suggest that "physical chemistry" is a relevant branch that focuses on phase transitions and the behavior of substances in different states. Additionally, the term "thermodynamics" is mentioned as it relates to energy changes during these transformations. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise terminology in the context of studying phase transitions in chemistry.

Hello All,

I was wondering if some of the great chemistry people here could help me with this one. I'm wondering if there is a word out there that describes the study of liquids and gasses in transformation? I know that could all be included under the term "Chemistry" but I'm wondering if there is a more specific branch of study that is focused on this aspect?

Thanks,
Jason O

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!!
