Why are ions much more efficient than electrons at beam-induced deposition? |
Does the pyrolysis of $\ce{CaCl2 · 2 H2O}$ give $\ce{CaCl2 + 2 H2O}$ or $\ce{Ca(OH)2 + 2 HCl}?$ |
I am trying to find a way to separate my PLA samples and ABS samples. Last night I've observed:
- When soaked in Ethyl Acetate:
- ABS disintegrates in about an hour,
- PLA loses "fancy" properties, ( such as green/yellow color-changing filament, went blue. )
- All PLA, fancy or standard, turns very flexibl... |

It would be burnt outside in the forest at about 2 degrees Celsius with about 75 percent air humidity. I'm not sure how good its quality might be, but it looks fine, pretty much like this [here][1].

Why lithium looses electron more easily than sodium according to electrode potential values? |
In my school science textbook, written more than twenty years ago, it said that *pure* iron does not rust. Accompanying was a photograph of an ancient iron statue situated outside, which had not rusted.
Is this correct? |

"I am trying to understand why Nitrogen in Ammonia is a proton acceptor."

I mean doesn't every compound has its own different reduction and oxidation potential ? Or its just one potential that can be compared to understand which one will get reduced and which one will get oxidised ? |
Is redox potential a valid term? |
There is the table of **standard electrode potentials**. These are values which is relative to **the standard hydrogen electrode**. They were measured at certain, constant for all, conditions.
To measure actual potentials one can use Nernst equation

> Is redox potential a valid term?
Yes it is a valid thermodynamic term. Also oxidation potential is a valid term. After a century of arguments, electrochemical societies decided to write all the half cells as reduction e.g., $\ce{Fe^{3+} + e- -> Fe^{2+}}$ and call the potential of this reaction as the reduction p... |

I have read that aniline does not undergo Friedel–Crafts reaction because it complexes with Lewis acid $\ce{AlCl3}.$ Will it also react with $\ce{FeBr3}$ during bromination (to receive a 3-bromo substituted benzene)? |

> Is redox potential a valid term?
Yes it is a valid thermodynamic term. Also oxidation potential is a valid term. *These terms differ only by a sign*. If a reduction potential of a given half cell is -0.73 V with respect to hydrogen cell. its oxidation potential is +0.73 V. So you have to stick to one term for co... |
> I mean doesn't every compound has its own different reduction and oxidation potential ? Or its just one potential that can be compared to understand which one will get reduced and which one will get oxidised ?

Why is it when you heat and pressurize CO and H2 it converts to methane? Is it because when you heat the molecules the bonds get weaker and the pressure breaks the bonds and allows them to flow and create new molecule?

Coupled cluster is a non-variational method, meaning that it can give energies that are below the true FCI energy (the "variational limit" for variational methods).
Often coupled cluster still gives energies far above the true FCI energy, and sometimes it gives energies that dip below the variational limit.
Is th... |

I have three histidine residues that are next to each other in a protein. When I compute the fraction of un-protonated states for each individual histidine as a function of pH my titration curve has a non-Henderson Hasselbalch shape. Hence I can't fit it using the HH equation for 1 site:

You are correct that there are aspects to consider:
- The increase of *pressure* equates to more particles per unit of volume. It is like filling a metro with more and more people during rush hour, the propability of collisions increases.
- The increase of *temperature* equates to a higher kinetic energy of the... |

Your proposed structure is wrong.

The data look as if you have simply done a titration of histidine, with a first pKa at around 6, and another one at around 8.5 - 9.
