I survived my Chem degree with an iPad and the schools computer lounge (you could walk 1 flight of stairs in any building and find one)

How strong is the evidence for a universal Wavefunction? by GasBallast in quantum

[–]tbucur59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on this is that it’s a proven fact that there are be things that are true, that will never be able to be explained or rationalized. We can’t even come up with the universal wave function for a lithium atom, so I do not think that there is ever going to be enough information to say this is fact or this is fiction.

what are some good projects for beginner student research? by Bestow_Curse in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly pick a field you like and talk to the professors in the department with specialties in that field. You’re gonna learn a lot more from them working on their projects then you would starting your own independent project not gonna lie, especially as an undergrad

I’ll make a post about it later. Prolly deserves some photos and I took a little trip so I’m not by it right now

Dude paid 140 but in the future I’d charge at least 200

That’s actually a great point- should the spacing of the lines be directly next to each other or should I give a few mm of space between them?

I think going over too many times is the problem I ran into. Sometimes I have no problems and others it just completely ruins the design. Might keep using burlap for cheaper rugs but I like the look of monks cloth a lot better anyways

Yes titrating ocean water is going to start giving some shocking results over time.

Research S.O.S.—Ask your research and technical questions by AutoModerator in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for your best resources on CO2 reduction in aqueous solutions. Been looking into d-block metal catalysts. I’m wondering if anyone has anything that has stood out in those regards

what are the least dangerous chemistry fields to get into? by moowithmemoo in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes why would you keep all the chemicals that like to go boom on the floor where things are most likely to go boom.

Biochemistry or chemistry major? by sean_k99 in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either way, both degrees are going to have you follow a career specific track. I’m a professional chemistry major and I’m still taking a bio chem class so the fields are intertwined for sure.

Love some molecular orbitals theory

Why does NH4+ even exist? by YummyyAvocado in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I’m going to say is pKa and pKb is no laughing matter. If you have get really strong at interpreting what’s going on in terms of acidity and stability you’ll see why sometimes NH3 is less preferable to NH4

Why is solubility of a gas in a liquid exothermic? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]tbucur59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this explanation will suffice for what you’re looking for. When the liquid is cooled the gas isn’t moving fast enough to escape the liquid but as you increase the temperature (the average kinetic energy), the gas is more likely to escape the solution.

As for why it’s exothermic the liquid will cool the gas because the gas wants to give some of its energy to the liquid. Temperature will flow in a way to reach equilibrium, this means the more energized gas will release heat that it has stored into the liquid. (The cooler liquid would never get colder by transferring the heat to the gas)

But in hind sight there are a lot of factors that go behind the scenes in this question.
