Yesterday in a school lab experiment, I accidentally splashed a really small amount of potassium dichromate solution (0.02000mol/L) on my hand. By "small amount," I mean a tiny drop that can't even visibly "run" due to gravity.
Of course, I washed it off right after for a good amount of time. But am I still in any danger at all because of it? And are there any symptoms I should be aware of in case I got infected? I just wanted to make sure.

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!!
