AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a liquid with variable oxygen absorption capacity based on temperature, specifically mentioning alkyl pyrogallol solutions. The user seeks a method to produce oxygen efficiently for a project that requires a consistent supply of oxygen in a compact form. The limitations of relying solely on solubility for oxygen storage are acknowledged, prompting inquiries about alternative processes for oxygen extraction from air. Technologies used in oxygen concentrators are suggested as potential solutions. The user aims to demonstrate complete combustion of fuels to minimize smoke, expressing a preference for on-demand oxygen production rather than purchasing it outright.

I am looking for a liquid whose oxygen absorption capacity varies with temperature. I have heard of alkyl pyrogallol solution but there are different solutions of pyrogallol in alkaline solution . I wanted to produce oxygen with the help of this o2 absorbing capacity variation with temperature.

As long are you are thinking about relying on the solubility differences, amount of oxygen stored will be very small.
 
Then is there any other process which can provide me with regular supply of oxygen because the requirement for my project is regular absorbing of oxygen from air that too in a highly engineered (as small volume as possible) manner. The substance should be instantly made unsaturated and saturated(of oxygen) such that I can store the oxygen thus collected.

Have you considered technologies used in oxygen concentrators? How much oxygen do you need? Why you can't use just air?
 
I'll have a look at them. I jus want to demonstrate complete combustion of fuels (with sufficient amount of oxygen provided to them). hence to reduce smoke produced. This could be done with me purchasing oxygen,but I jus want to know how can we produce oxygen in a reasonable manner on the go.

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!!
