@hBy2Py sorry! I was away from technology for a while, and missed the game entirely

though you were in an advantage in that game so I guess you deserve the win ;)

i'm very much free now, so, in case you're looking to be beaten in a blitz game, lemme know ;)

A: Your closure rate avoids your growth, I suggest leniency

Bit of a disclaimer: I am not a member of Chemistry. I have no stake in this community. I just like stats. I like seeing how numbers stack up. The initial analysis rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw them, although I couldn't really put my finger on it at first. It seems somewhat suspect...

Q: Is ChemiDay a reliable enough source (for inorganic reactions) to be cited on our site?

We have quite a lot of upvoted posts - 77 to be exact - using a website called ChemiDay as their reference material. However, from the looks of it, the website doesn't appear to be a reliable reference. Suppose I have a question: "What are the products of the reaction between fluorine and ammon...

@1,3-feeds Bad references are still better than no reference at all?

@Loong probably not? Bad references can be misleading or entirely incorrect. How can they be better than no reference?

I am getting a piloerection.

@GaurangTandon I figured that's what happened -- I regretted starting those games as rated, most timed out. :-/

@GaurangTandon Not really. See my answer.

@GaurangTandon I'll keep an eye out for you being online over there; I could see a blitz game happening in the evening here, at some point.

@hBy2Py aye aye

@hBy2Py yeah, a month earlier when we started the game i didn't know I would be going on a vacation :/

@hBy2Py yep, your answer is great

@Martin-マーチン (wanting to say this for quite a while) thanks for checking the reopen review queues often!

@anurag-baundwal, this is stackexchange, you get reputation points solely for answering/resolving problems. It is the polite and humble, I, whom treats people with kindness regardless of how or to what extent they might be able to serve me. If this simple narration of logic escapes you, I doubt your existence on this website is anything but futile and troll-ish. — FluffyDragon 17 mins ago

woah what did I just read

i can't think of a good response to

@gaurang-tandon, to be honest, I’m an uneducated idiot with a party balloon shop that I have recently opened. I tried searching google to formulate the answer on my own but the equations are beyond me. Maybe if someone could explain how to get to the right answer, that would be nice. — FluffyDragon 1 min ago

can someone help?

@GaurangTandon An 'uneducated idiot with a party balloon shop' would probably not phrase a question with a pressure given in units like that (not to mention that the units are wrong) -- all of the pressures would be in psi.

Why would a balloon shop owner (1) blow down a full helium tank (stuff is expensive!), and (2) care how long it would take?

Likely troll. Downvote and ignore.

I don't think that the question really make sense. The gas is released at a pressure of 16 psi. But that doesn't tell us the flow rate. That could be a big or a small valve, both adjusted to the same pressure.

@Loong Good point.

@hBy2Py In order to estimate how many balloons can be filled with one tank?

The answer to the posted question would not significantly help answer that.

Rate of flow is irrelevant to quantity contained
