    Oxygen State
AI Thread Summary
At a temperature of 280 K and an atmospheric pressure of 50 bar, oxygen would be in a fluid state, specifically as a gas. The critical point for oxygen is 49.8 bar and 154.6 K, meaning that at 50 bar, the pressure exceeds the critical point, and the oxygen cannot exist as a liquid or solid under these conditions. The discussion emphasizes that the state of oxygen in this scenario is best described as a gas, despite being under high pressure.

Lets say we have oxygen with a temperature of 280 K at an atmospheric pressure of 50 bar. What would the state of oxygen be in?
Gas
Liquid
Solid
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
It would be fluid, not solid, and may be fairly described as gas.

Oxygen critical point is 49,8 bar, 154,6 K.
 
Sounds like you just did someones homework.
 
What do you mean by fairly described as a gas?
 

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!!

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...
