2012-04-22 combustion:

Molecular oxygen (O2) is not inert.  It is stable.  There is a difference. When texts refer to the molecular form of an element, they are referring to the smallest, common stable form of the pure substance

2012-01-02 salt vs sugar , which dissolves faster in room temperature water:

The clouding you saw was the salt being first suspended before dissolving.  A suspension is not the same as a dissolution - suspension is the physical placement of one thing into another thing so that

2011-11-22 Chemistry:

In brief:   The repulsion between paired electrons is do to the restricted volume in space that their orbital occupies.  Even with different quantum states, they are still mapped over the same area.  What

2011-11-07 Why does Gorilla Glue expand?:

The atmospheric or liquid moisture promotes the decarboxylation (CO2) component of the urethane polymerization.  Initially the glue has long-ish chains that give it some viscoscity thicker than water or

2011-10-18 Activation energy:

In general, yes. There are 3 typical energy quanta that can effect this.  Rotational energy is lowest energy jump, and often is not pivotal to reactions... except when microwave energy is used to super-rotate
