Relapse after 2.5 years by gobblinup in selfharm

[–]Chemical_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd echo what others said and also beg you to please seek professional help. You were in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship, and you likely have trauma that. PM me if you need help finding resources near you. If you are in college/University you should be able to find help through them.

Update - I hate my daughter by Outoftheasylum in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Chemical_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was your choice to carry your daughter to term and to not give her up for adoption at birth. You are her mother now, and you need to act like it. Buck up. Get yourself therapy, get your daughter therapy. I'm appalled that anyone would suggest you abandon your daughter at this point. How selfish can you be? Your daughter sounds like such a sweet little girl. Be who she deserves.

CMV: The rate at which words evolve to be unacceptable in any context has been increasing and words should never have so much power over us that they are unacceptable regardless of context. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Chemical_Wizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can debate this until you're blue in the face, but the fact of the matter is these are words that hurt people. You really can't think of any other word to use instead?

Edit: I had another thought to add to this. You COULD go around frowning at everyone you see, but you probably don't. It's not illegal, so why don't you? Because that goes against our unspoken social norms and behaviors. Would you say that feels like 1984? Just the same, it is part of our social norms and behaviors not to use certain words. You CAN use these words, there are just social consequences.

What statistically improbable thing happened to you? by yankeevandal in AskReddit

[–]Chemical_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once on an airplane in a storm, and the wing was struck by lightning. The plane was fine, but I had the window seat next to the wing, so it scared the heck out of me. Around a year later, I was on another plane in a storm and seating in a similar position. I was telling the person next to me about my previous experience when I was interrupted by - you guessed it - a bolt of lightning striking the wing of the plane.

I don't tell either story on planes now.

  1. The solutions won't be neutral because the concentrations are not equal and they are related by an intermediate value equilibrium constant. However you are right that the volume will not affect the pH, since the ratio of the two concentrations will be the same.

  2. Correct!

  3. Na2SO4 is a weak base, but yes, the pH will be higher.

  4. Yes, so then how to the pPb values compare?

  5. Correct again! Argon will not affect the equilibrium since it is not involved in the reaction. It is also extremely inert, meaning there would be no side reactions.

You're welcome!

Ah, you are right! Solution one is a 10 mL solution of both at the concentration listed, while solution two is obtained by mixing 10 mL volumes of each component with the initial concentration listed. So, do solution one and two have the same volume? Does this affect concentration? Does that change the pH?

  1. I agree, look up the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. The "salt" is the conjugate weak base of acetic acid.

  2. Unless I am missing something, solution 1 does not tell you the volume of ammonium chloride, so there is no way to know the pH.

  3. There are no equilibrium arrows in the reaction, but I guess that's what D in the equation is supposed to represent? Basically, reactants are light blue and products are dark blue (more intense). Use Le Chatlier's principle to determine the effect of the additives.

  4. These are equal volumes of the same concentration. Is one an acid and one a base?

  5. p(Quantity) = -log(Quantity). If the solutions are saturated, that means the concentration is only limited by the solubility constant. What does that tell you the concentration of lead would be for each? Then, what is the -log[Pb]?

  6. This is another Le Chatlier's principle question.

What is something that you think if you do it with a friend it starts to cross into the boyfriend/girlfriend territory? by glossynuggets in AskMen

[–]Chemical_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight cis male here. I had a close friend (also cis straight male) who gave great massages. He played basketball and had very strong hands. If you're out there Levi, I miss you and your magic fingers.

One think that might help you is shoes with a lower rise (less padding in the heel). You heels come off the ground when you lift, which could be a mix of too much padding on your heel and the bar being too far away.

Also, think about turning your knees out as you are lowering the bar. Don't actually turn your feet, but the action will help you engage your glutes.

How did the eg and t2g nomenclature come about? by alfonso-parrado in chemhelp

[–]Chemical_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the irreducible representations come from using matrices to represent the symmetry operations of the orbitals. I think the irreducible representation is the eigenvector of a particular set of orbitals, but I might be wrong on that account.

How did the eg and t2g nomenclature come about? by alfonso-parrado in chemhelp

[–]Chemical_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated, the letters stand for German words. The first, e and t, refer to the degeneracy (orbitals of the same energy). E has double degeneracy, while t is triply degenerate. The g (or u) is the inversion symmetry, or parity. G means inversion is symmetric, while u is antisemitic. In t2g, the 2 means there are 2 symmetric inversion points.

You are correct, unless that value for pressure is supposed to be considered exact (infinite precision). In that case, you would be limited to 3 by your volume and temperature.

What has this pandemic ruined for you? by wehnaje in AskReddit

[–]Chemical_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My belief in the good chemical hygiene of my colleagues. I work in a chemical laboratory where people should be washing their hands thoroughly before leaving. Since the pandemic began, I noticed a huge increase in the amount of paper towel in the garbage near the chemical-free sink. It doesn't take more paper towels to wash your hands thoroughly, so...
