What is the conversion factor from eV to kJ/mol? To go from eV to J, you have to multiply with the unit charge (formally speaking you insert the e into eV). To go to J/mol you multiply with Avogadro's number. What is the product of the unit charge and Avogadro's number - the Faraday constant. And if you were treated to Chemistry Olympiad at school then, hopefully, you are still able to blurt out its value even when woken up in the middle of the night: 96 485 C/mol. If we divide this by 1000, we get... Читать дальше...

Crystals from outer space

Yes, these crystals were formed in space on the International Space Station, but despite the crystals’ epic and extraordinary origin, the astronauts aboard the ISS who worked on the experiment got a hand from a bunch of young amateur scientists from Wisconsin. In 2017, the organizers of the Wisconsin Crystal Growing Contest, which accepts entries from students age 11 to 18, launched a collaboration with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS)...
