AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the safety of camphoric acid for human consumption, particularly for individuals experiencing excessive sweating after undergoing sympathectomy. The original poster expresses frustration over their inability to manage sweating in hot weather and mentions a community of nearly 700 members facing similar issues. Despite the inquiry about camphoric acid's efficacy in alleviating these symptoms, responses emphasize the importance of consulting a physician for medical advice, leading to the closure of the thread.

I need to know if this stuff

is safe for human consumption. Camphoric acid is supposed to stop sweating in wasting conditions. I had a sympathectomy and can't go outside in the summer without looking like I climbed out of a pool in 20 minutes.

There is a website with almost 700 members that have had this done to them. It's terrible. We're looking for some kind of relief from our side effects.

Thank you for your time.

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 '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...
