Click For Summary

Anhydrous magnesium sulfate can potentially be compressed into a tablet form to control its reaction in water. The use of a binder is suggested as essential for achieving this compression. The discussion highlights the need for appropriate materials to facilitate the tablet's stability and effectiveness. Further exploration into suitable binders and methods for compression is implied. This approach could enable a more manageable release of magnesium sulfate during chemical reactions.

Huh?

My bet is you will need some kind of a binder.

Thread 'Molecular-level explanation of macroscopic phenomena: dissolving'

What I know and please correct me: a macroscopic probe of raw sugar you can buy from the store can be modeled to be an almost perfect cube of a size of 0.7 up to 1 mm. Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
