SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the need for an online reference table that provides solubility information for common chemicals in various solutes. The user expresses frustration with existing resources that either lack specificity or are overly detailed. The goal is to find a straightforward tool that allows for quick access to solubility data without unnecessary complexity. This highlights a gap in accessible resources for casual users interested in crystal birefringence.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of solubility concepts
  • Familiarity with crystal birefringence
  • Knowledge of common chemicals and their properties
  • Experience using online scientific databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research online databases like PubChem for solubility data
  • Explore resources such as the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics
  • Investigate solubility rules for common ionic compounds
  • Learn about birefringence measurement techniques using microscopes
USEFUL FOR

Amateur chemists, hobbyists interested in microscopy, educators seeking simple solubility references, and anyone exploring the properties of crystals.

I'm interested in looking at birefringence of crystals with a microscope (just for amusement). I'm definitely not a chemist, and don't intend to become one.

Does anyone know of a quick online reference for the solubility of common chemicals in different solutes? Every time I search for this I get results that are way too specific, or too general. I don't want to waste time researching dead ends.

What do you mean too specific or too general?
 

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
