    Cell Measuring
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the measurement of activities using a Knudsen cell, focusing on how these measurements relate to Gibbs energy calculations. Participants seek resources that explain the principles behind Knudsen cells, including what specific activities are measured and the methodology for deriving Gibbs energy from these measurements. Additionally, there is interest in understanding the temperature range applicable to this method. A suggestion is made to explore resources related to electrolysis for further information. Links to relevant websites are provided for additional research on the topic.

Hello

I would like to find some texts or web sites explaining how and why activities can be measured with a Knudsen cell. What is measured and how the Gibbs energy is deuced from the measurements.

I would also like to find out the range of application of this method, like for temperatures.

Thanks,

Michel

I've actually researched a bit on electric cells, perhaps you can find something here (try to browse under electrolysis etc)

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!!
