I'm having trouble with the calculation side of Chemistry (ideal gas equation, amount of substance etc). I guess it's mainly the equations I am having trouble remembering.. If anyone knows of any site/place with them all on i'd _REALLY_ appreciate it, thanks.

Try looking for the sticky messages on this forum, I am sure you'll find lots of useful sites. The sticky messages are on the top.
 
Also look at the sticky in the homework help section. I remember seeing some Chem tutorial links there.
 
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...
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!!
