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 '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...
