Struggling with Stoichiometry in High School Chemistry? Here's How to Master it!

AI Thread Summary
Understanding stoichiometry in chemistry requires a solid grasp of the relationships between moles, grams, and Avogadro's number. To master stoichiometric calculations, focus on practicing conversion between these units and familiarize yourself with balanced chemical equations. Utilizing dimensional analysis can also help in solving problems effectively. Visual aids, such as mole ratios and diagrams, can enhance comprehension. Additionally, engaging with practice problems and seeking resources like textbooks or online tutorials can reinforce learning. For high school chemistry in general, developing a strong foundation in basic concepts and consistent practice is essential for success.

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...
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!!
