AI Thread Summary

To determine the volume of 0.248 M HCl required to react with 1.36 g of zinc to produce hydrogen gas, first, calculate the moles of zinc using its molar mass (approximately 65.38 g/mol). This results in about 0.0208 moles of zinc. The reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid is a 1:2 molar ratio, meaning 0.0208 moles of zinc will require 0.0416 moles of HCl. Using the molarity of the HCl solution, the volume needed can be calculated by rearranging the molarity equation (M = moles/volume) to find volume = moles/M. This results in approximately 168.5 mL of 0.248 M HCl needed for the reaction.

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 'Enthalpy - published values'

Do the published values of Enthalpy include the work done against a constant pressure, e.g., the atmosphere? (I am not a chemist). I am reviewing enthalpy and entropy as part of the statistical mechanics applied to transistors. I assume, from my reading, that the work done would mostly apply to reactions involving gasses.

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!!
