    Cycle Extraction
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around issues with the Soxhlet extraction cycle, specifically the failure of liquid in the middle section to return to the bottom section despite reaching the appropriate height. Key points include the potential influence of temperature on solvent volume and viscosity during the extraction process. Variations in these factors could affect the overall efficiency and outcomes of the Soxhlet extraction. The conversation highlights the importance of considering these variables when troubleshooting extraction procedures.

I have a trouble with soxhlet extraction cycle.
Liquid in the middle section of soxhlet appratus should returen to the bottom section of soxhlet appratus when it reaches an appropriate height. The question is :The return did not appearence in the whole cycle but the liquid level actually reached that height.

Did the solvent volume change?
 
soxhelt extraction procedure?Why?

Is your procedure temperature dependent for extraction,if so volume at that temperature would had been altered.Also the viscosity must be altered.I do not actually know your specific experiment but being a physical chemis i guess possible variables which might affect experimental outcopmes.
 

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!!
