AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on methods for dissolving sulfate crystals that accumulate on lead plates in lead-acid batteries. Participants encourage research through resources like Google and Wikipedia to gather foundational knowledge. There is an emphasis on finding specific information and asking targeted questions based on that research, rather than seeking direct answers without prior exploration. The importance of understanding the underlying chemistry and potential solutions for sulfate crystal dissolution is highlighted, indicating a need for a more informed approach to the topic.

Please find some information using Google or Wikipedia or a similar resource, and then post links to your reading here and ask specific questions about the links. Thanks. :smile:
 

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!!
