Calcium stearate particle sizes
Question
My current university project is to try and coat paper with various calcium stearate dispersions of various particle sizes.
The general rule of thumb i know is that larger particle sizes give rise to rougher grippier furnish. HOWEVER this is not the case. i found that it is
in fact the smaller particle sizes which yielded rougher furnishing to the final coated paper.
Im a bit confused. can someone help explain this?

How do you define/measure "roughness"? Your findings seem to contradict sandpaper, where the smaller the particle size, the smoother the sandpaper.

Do you have to distill HEET brand Methanol, or is it pure enough for using? I bought a couple bottles today. What are the impurities if any?

Search before asking questions. It shouldn't be others job to do your own research.

For fuck's sake.
I did search.
I can ask a question if I can't find the answer. I hate people that make a deal out of someone not being able to find an answer. This is called the
fucking short question thread for a reason. I didn't go off and make a big deal of it, and I didn't force you to type a response.

Well, considering that one of the links I posted was the first result from typing "HEET Methanol site:www.sciencemadness.org" into Google, I can't
imagine you searched very thoroughly. This topic has been discussed many times on the forum, its not like the information is inaccessible in the
least. If you're unable to find such widely posted information and need someone to search for you, what do you expect will happen if you decide to do
more advanced experimenting or work in a professional environment? You certainly are not going to get others to search for you there.
Searching for information is a vital tool in chemistry, rediscovering what is already known and published is a waste of time and money. Even in "The
Short Questions Thread", you're still taking the time of others to reply to your post. You're going to need to learn how to search sooner or later,
that time might as well be now.

I do some more complicated things, and it seems like those are easier to find than the simple ones. I can't even find a source of OTC Nitric acid
anywhere near me, and I've searched for hours altogether. I figured there would be something on HEET at youtube, but nothing. I read forums but prefer
to see people actually doing an experiment.

Question
Can I pump gasses into a closed container with a pressure washer to achieve a chamber pressure close to the rated pressure?
I could modify the pump for cooling and I might be able to lubricate the insides, both of which are potential problems that can be addressed.

Looks like a pressure equalising addition funnel. The extra tap at the top is a nice touch although I am not sure how useful it would be most of the
time.

We used to use something like that for solvent distillation. A large RBF below containing the solvent and drying agent, and a condensor above. Open
the bottom tap to reflux the solvent over the drying agent, and close it to collect solvent. When you have enough, use a syringe through the upper
tap to remove the quantity of solvent needed.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Perhaps a combination Strauss and Schlenk flask?

Um, that might be it. I was thinking of a dropping funnel for inert atmosphere. The long neck at the top is intriguing.
Bromine, definitely bromine.

Why does the emission spectra for neon light have so many colored bonds when there are only a few energy levels? - I mean how come when a photon is
released from an electron falling from N3 to n1, how come a single color isn't released?

Fred, Jim and Shelia.
This answer is equally as valid as the question.

It's still a liquid, just really really slow.

Orbitals. It's all about orbitals not just the rule-of-8.

Oxidation of the organic polymer.
Think about what 'Weathering' means.

Nobody knows apart from zts16 and he's not saying.

Google Pitot Tube.

They're not long enough to be outside that absobtion spectrum of water.

The same electron can be in one of several energy/spin states.
Check out the Quantum thread.
Please check on self-medication schedules, and if they have been observed or not.

Pitot tubes are for measuring stagnation pressure of a flowing fluid, which is different than partial pressure of a gas.

Speaking of the right direction, would you care to elaborate a little on those answers Aga?
Here is a question I found interesting, it says it requires a special procedure. Can someone identify what special procedure they are referring to?

Sideways is not good for me at this time of night.
However ...
it says 3.24g Ti, 5.40g Oxide (presumably Titanium Oxide)
5.40g - 3.24g = 2.16g to account for.
3.24g of Ti @ 47.867g/mol = 0.06768 mol
We're pretty sure it's an Oxide, so what does 0.06768 mol of O weigh ?
1.08g Holy Shit !
Two of those make 2.16g : the number we want !
TiO2 is likely the right answer,so Titanium Dioxide.

No, glass is an amorphous solid. That's practically the definition of a glass.
The glass we normally think of as glass is composed of long-chain polysilicate ions, with branches, paired with a mixture of sodium, potassium,
calcium and sometimes other metal cations. When you melt glass, these ions don't flow freely, because they get tangled up in each other (an ordinary
liquid could be visualized by a bucket of marbles that can be stirred up. Liquid glass is more like a bucket of cooked spaghetti). When it cools
down, the ions can't get past the viscosity of the liquid to form an orderly crystal lattice, they just slow down and stop where they are. So it has
the same internal structure as a liquid (but isn't one).
The same is true for things like plastic sulphur and nylon- long molecules which get tangled instead of forming crystals.
