AI Thread Summary
Dan, a high school junior, is developing a sports drink for cross country runners, starting with a lemonade flavor. He seeks advice on potential chemical reactions that may occur when combining various supplements, including vitamins and minerals, in his drink formulation. The specific supplements he plans to include are folic acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, beta-carotene, sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, L-Tyrosine, and glycine. He is looking for insights from experienced chemists or professors regarding the reactivity of these ingredients when mixed. Additionally, he welcomes any suggestions for his project.

Hello my name is Dan,

I am a high school junior and had an idea i need some help with. I am currently designing a sports drink for myself and my fellow cross country runners. I am planning on making a flavor, hypothetically lemonade first, then via multivitamin supplements, powder, and soft gel tablets. My question is reactivity, now I am in AP Chemistry and i couldn't answer this one so any college professors or highly educated chemists. With all of these supplements being added amounting to approximately, are there going to be any reactions occurring? Also any suggestions you guys may have also appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

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...

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!!
