AI Thread Summary
Running a 300 Amp DC converter in a chlorate cell is not advisable due to the rapid corrosion of electrodes and the excessive production of chlorine gas. While higher current can accelerate chlorate production, it may lead to fewer chlorate crystals and potential damage to the system, including boiling away water and ruining electrodes. It is recommended to maintain a reasonable current level and consider optimal temperature and current density for effective production, as faster isn't always better in this process.

In Chlorate cell should i run 300 Amp by DC Converter 300 AMP to make Chlorate in short period?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
i would not recommend that because the greater the current, the faster the electrodes will corrode. i also would not recommend this because the massive amount of chlorine gas it would cause.
it may speed up the process but you will have fewer chlorate crystals left over.
But that's just my recommendation.
if you still want to do that, try to Google it that's how i found this site, lol
 
300 Amps! How are you going to [safely] run 300 amps through an electrolytic cell?
If you try to do this for any extended period of time, you are going to boil your water away and ruin your electrodes.

The higher the current through the cell, the faster the Chlorate production, yes, but I would keep the current to a reasonable level if I were you.

There is an optimum temperature and current density (current per unit surface area of the electrodes) one might try to shoot for. Faster production is not always “better” in this sense.
 
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!!
