AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a text-based quiz program to create quizzes for studying chemistry definitions and foreign language vocabulary. They recall using a program with an XML file for questions and answers but can no longer find it. One suggestion offered is to use a spreadsheet to organize questions and answers, utilizing a random number to shuffle them and hiding answers with formatting. This method is deemed easy for those familiar with spreadsheet software like Excel or OpenOffice. Additionally, sporcle.com is recommended as an online platform for creating text-based quizzes that can be used for study purposes.

I'm looking for a text-based quiz program that I can put in questions and take quizzes. I need it to help study a whole slew of definitions for chemistry as well as vocabulary words for a foreign language. When I was in the military I had this program that had a simple XML file for questions and answers and a small exe file, but I can no longer find it! Thanks

If you've had any experience with spreadsheet programs (e.g. excel or openoffice) this should be quite easy for you to do.

I am still open to any other suggestions if anyone knows of a program like this.
 
sporcle.com is an website where you can create text-based quizzes for others to play (you could probably create some quizzes to study with).
 

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!!
