Haven't been able to find the answer anywhere IRL yet, so I thought I'd see if someone in the PhysicsForums could help me with this one.
When doing SEM/EDS (EDX/EDXS) (~equivalent to x-ray fluorescence) analysis it looks as if my europium containing samples contain copper as well, which'd...
You could start with heating the different sweeteners in an oven at a certain temperature and note the differences before and after: do they look burnt? No need to taste then. Do they look the same as before? You might try and taste if they still taste sweet. Beware: I don't know anything about...
OK, I just calculated for a triply capped trigonal prism that there is just one radius ratio: 0.73
For a dodecahedron I calculate 0.83 as the minimum radius ratio (for cation-anion interactions) but this leaves four out of eight coordinating atoms at almost twice the distance (as described...
Is it true that there should be two distances from a dodecahedrally coordinated cation to the two types of coordinating atoms?
When I calculate what the octahedron should look like assuming that all anion-anion distances are equal I will get two different cation-anion distances:
if all...
Hi!
I heard from somebody that teflon might react with some alkoxides, and that this is actually what DuPont uses in some cases to make the teflon coatings stick to cookingware or whatever is coated in these specific cases.
This bothers me since I have a cuvette with a teflon stopper...
Where did Pengwuino go?
I just want to ask you (and maybe Nerro as well) (or Moonbear more scientifically) what will happen if people like Pengwuino and Nerro travel across a time zone? Will you still like the same cycle with regard to the clock or will your cycle be shifted corresponding to...
No, d) Al(H2))6Cl3 should definitely be d) Al(H2O)6Cl3 which means I think it is just hydrated aluminium chloride AlCl3.6H2O (aluminium chloride hexahydrate). But if that's not the same thing, then I'd have to call Al(H2O)6Cl3 hexa-aquaaluminate chloride.
I think b) is ammono not amino. amino...
Hi!
I've finally made some effort to understand spectroscopic term symbols (^{2S+1}L_J) and after having thought a few times that I'd understood but then running into trouble again, now I'm fairly convinced that I got it right. But some things bother me though.
Apparently I was locked too...
I really don't see the problem. You get an expression P2/P1 that is unitless for obvious reasons - the units cancel out on division. If P2/P1 = x then P2 = x times P1, P1 having a (arbitrary) unit of pressure like bar, kPa, atm, psi etc. and x being unitless. The only thing I wonder about is how...
This sounds really good, but also too complicated to find anything specific (/ too extensive to read it all and become almost all-knowing :wink: )
(No chance of you telling me what happens with aluminium on contact with chlorinated solvents? :wink: :wink: )
So they give out "standards" that...
kanato! you seem like someone getting the picture with the linear algebra involved in orbital theories!
have you seen any different linear combinations of the d orbitals than the usual xy,yz,zx,x2-y2 and z2 set? Hope this is not too OT... but I would like to see what it looked like if one...
Hi! Is silicon inert? i.e. can I clean it from deposited films with e.g. HNO3 and H2SO4 without etching the silicon itself? What about amorphous carbon?
OK, if the formulation "will convert to grey tin" should be interpreted as over time, maybe not even within some millennia, but it will happen, then the procedure sounds right and you need only thermodynamical data.
