AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the thermal decomposition of potassium superoxide (KO2), potassium peroxide, and potassium oxide. Participants seek to understand the temperatures at which these compounds decompose, specifically the temperature at which KO2 breaks down into potassium and oxygen. There is a mention of the synthesis of KO2 from potassium and oxygen, indicating that this reaction occurs at high temperatures. The main inquiry is focused on the specific temperature required for the decomposition of KO2.

Temperature of Potassium superoxide

Hello,
Does anyone know what are the temperatures of Potassium suproxide, potassium peroxide and potassium oxide on which they fall apart(oxigen goes away)?

How can I make KO2 in some syntesis?

Do you mean bond dissociation energies?

I think that the reaction,

<br /> K + O_{2} ---&gt; KO_{2}<br />

does take place (at high temp.). Correct me if I am wrong...


Cheers
Vivek
 
I ment in the other way:

KO2 ----> K + O2

On what temperature it happens?
Thanks.
 

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!!
