AI Thread Summary
Carbonation in drinks enhances flavor and provides a unique sensory experience, as the fizzy CO2 creates a gassy feeling that many find enjoyable. This sensation includes a tingling effect in the mouth and a tickling feeling in the nose, contributing to the overall appeal of carbonated beverages. The origin of carbonated water dates back to 1767 when Dr. Joseph Priestley discovered a method to infuse water with carbon dioxide, leading to its popularity among affluent Europeans and the eventual rise of the modern soft drink industry.

Because they taste good. People enjoy the fizzy CO2.

It is just my personal idea ?
I guess, it is about thirty_ness, I like it when it run up to my nose.
 
Supposedly in 1767 Dr. Joseph Priestley made carbonated water by pouring water back and forth over a vat that emitted carbon dioxide as exhaust. It became some kind of hit with snooty rich Europeans and the modern soft drink industry was born.
 

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!!
