Nitrogen Oxidizing properties at high temperature

AI Thread Summary
DiNitrogen's unreactivity is attributed to its strong triple bond, but at extremely high temperatures, such as 3500K in a tungsten reactor chamber, the potential for reactivity increases. The discussion centers on whether nitrogen at this temperature could act as a strong oxidizer and if it would dissolve an anti-reducing coating. While at 6000K, any coating would likely evaporate, the focus is on the effects at 3500K. The consensus suggests that at this temperature, nitrogen may not effectively dissolve the anti-reducing coating, but the high temperature raises concerns about the stability of the coating itself. Overall, the interaction between heated nitrogen and the coating remains uncertain, emphasizing the need for further investigation into the specific conditions and materials involved.

DiNitrogen is very unreactive due to the tripple bond it has, but what happens if it heated to very high temperature and bonds are broken? does it start behaving as a strong oxidiser. I could not find iinformation on at which temperature this happens but let's assume 3500K in a Tunston reactor chamber in a presurised environment with an antireducing coating, will it start disolving the anti reducing coating?

At 6000 K any coating will evaporate, so the presence of nitrogen is the least of your concerns.

Alright, let's change that, a Tunston reaction chamber with anti reducing coating heating Nitrogen 3500K, will the Nitrogen dissove the anti reducing coating
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
