The Periodic Table

X moles of aluminum sulfate is added to a soil water solution and oven dried. Next 20 mL of water with a pH of 8.08 was added to the dried soil and the pH was recorded. pH readings were generally low ( 3.2-5). Is there a way to back calculate the pH of just the soil water solution w/out alum...

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M you're welcome

@pH1 I would be surprised if they did because the laws are against it …

Loong

@Jan sure. In chemistry, however, the disadvantages of the Master's degrees are evened out when people do a doctorate.

Jan

Let's unpin @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M's pin for pinning right abuse!

pH13

@Jan the law says, that it is allowed as long as there are also bachelor/master options

Loong

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Was hat er gesagt?

Jan

@Loong Which disadvantages?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Jan I haven't closed the tab yet. (Reloads gun)

pH13

i.e. the missing vordiplomsprüfung

at least in my eyes

but the main disadvantage is, that everyone hates it ... not the system itself

Loong

@Jan chaotic modular course of study, incomplete basic qualifications, lower usefulness for the industry, but harder course of study for the students

@pH13 true

Jan

@pH13 I stand corrected.

Q: Do we need a tag like "foundations of chemistry"?

I mean, for this topic: Understanding chemistry as a whole. This is clearly not "homework". But then, maybe, I (being relatively new to chem.SE) am missing something? Maybe we already have a tag with similar meaning? Or maybe it has been discussed and proven unnecessary?

Too slow D=

Where's a table? I need to flip one! D=

Loong

@Jan don't flip the periodic table!

Jan

@Loong Because it would crush poor little (and weak) hydrogen and helium?

TanMath

@Jan I am not a high-rep member, so I can still participate?

Jan

Yeah, technically. Your edits will have to get approved, which will put me closer to the proofreader badge, so it is much appreciated =3 But remember to try to make substantial edits where possible ^^

TanMath

@Jan ok.. what time will it be? will it be 15:30 UTC only?

Jan

10:14 PM

We don't know the time yet.

TanMath

@Jan yay! 15:30 is too early for me...

but does it need to be Friday UTC?

because I'm available early morning Saturday UTC...

Yep.

Jan

It'll likely be Friday because tradition.

orthocresol

@TanMath I was trying to be polite. If you want me to be a bit more blunt, your phrasing confused me.

Still, I hope that link was relevant.

TanMath

@orthocresol ok... I just felt kinda offended because you are telling me, someone w/ a lot of biology background, such a simple concept about biology...

@Jan ok. then maybe i cant make it....

orthocresol

I don't know about your biology background. Sorry if it sounded condescending.

I probably jumped to conclusions because it's a common misconception that people have when first studying plants.

Anyway, regarding TRE, the idea is that we all try to do it at the same time to avoid flooding the main page too much with edited posts. If the others are kind enough to play along, maybe you could help edit before the event starts and then they can approve your edits when it has started

I'm off to sleep. 💤💤💤 (does that show up properly?)

TanMath

10:41 PM

@orthocresol sure

@orthocresol yeah, but it still doesn't answer my question.. I have found pesticides that use canide but wouldn't they kill the plant?

Plus, maybe this question should be migrated to biology.SE?

@orthocresol its ok.. at least we have cleared our misconceptions...
