AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the characterization of biodiesel samples made from pumpkin oil, specifically focusing on determining their optical properties, including the refractive index (RI) and the use of Raman spectroscopy. It is confirmed that Raman spectroscopy can be used for characterization, but it is noted that determining the refractive index cannot be achieved with a Raman instrument. The conversation emphasizes the importance of identifying suitable methods for analyzing the optical properties of biodiesel.

i have made biodiesel from pumpkin oil and samples of B10 B20,...,B100. i want to get optical properties of these samples.what should be these poperties?i want to determine refractive index and also want to use raman spectroscopy.can i do this??can i use raman?

Of course you may characterize it by Raman. I don't believe you can determine the RI with a Raman instrument, though.
 

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!!
