The easiest method to synthesize AlBO3 involves combining borax with a soluble aluminum salt to collect the precipitate, although this may yield only a crude approximation. For high-purity AlBO3, particularly suitable for electronics, high-temperature solid-state metathesis is typically required, though this process is more complex and not considered easy.
How pure are we talking here? You could probably get a crude approximation by combining borax with a soluble aluminum salt and collecting the precipitate. Everything I've seen for electronics-quality AlBO3 has involved high-temperature solid state metathesis, which I'm not sure I'd call easy.
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...
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.
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!!
