Chemical Potential Puns

From my perspective having a kid is the most horrifying thing anyone could ever wish upon themselves, for every good thing there's about having children there's like a billion bad things. Yet, people willingly choose to have children everyday, sometimes multiple ones.

I think there's two possibilities here: Either

A. I'm near sighted/ too ignorant in my assessment of what it must feel like to have children and there's a cogent argument to be made FOR having children that I don't know of (something more concrete than "its just beauuuuutiful").

B. Potential parents' brain's go through a chemical change that makes their condition acceptable and even enjoyable. I know a lot of hormones and neurotransmitters get secreted (or whatever) whenever, for example, a mother breastfeeds, but I don't know if that in part or alone answers the paradox.

I've talked to a lot of parents and asked their opinions on the matter and the more I do so the more I'm convinced it's B, hence why I ask, to see if there's any truth to it. If possible, it'd be nice to read some reliable sources on the matter if you know of any.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: When i say it's the "worst horrifying thing..." I'm exaggerating, of course there's worse things than raising a kid!

Is it accurate to say that different forms of potential energy are determined based on HOW and WHERE potential energy is being stored? For example, if it is stored in chemical bonds, it is called chemical energy. And if it is stored in objected being stretched or compressed, it is called elastic energy.

Basically title. Cleared A levels and thinking about chemical engineering from NUST or LUMS.

Chemical mortars right now are extremely ineffective. The problem with chemical mortars isn't their mechanics and how it works. Instead, it's the fact that security has too easy access to gas masks. Chemical mortars can easily be deterred by a single supply point.

I propose a simple solution, to raise the price of gas masks to 2 supply points.

The will be a bit of a balance change and will make the chemical mortars more useful, rather than just being a colored smoke display. Since some players might not be willing to waste 2 supply points on a gas mask, it will deny the security more effectively.

And yes, I know this will be painful for the PvE gamers. Maybe PvE could have the same price, or even having masks for security become free?

Also, as an extra bonus, the security uses Avon Protection masks. Those things are expensive, with some of their products having the same prices as guns. It will be more realistic in a way.

Thoughts and concerns? Maybe other solutions? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

TLDR; Chemical gas is bad, security has easy mask access, increase masks to 2 supply.

Dear fellow reddit chemists,

I hope this post finds you well.

Given that the chemical potential of a substance in solution can be given by:

d μ = -SdT + VmdP

And that this is equal to the change in Gibbs molar energy, an we determine the change in chemical potential by measuring how the Gibbs free energy changes as function of chemical composition/amount?

How one could go about determining the chemical potential experimentally?

My kind regards

We end up with a total arrangement of nuclei & bound elctrons that's 'lower in the potential well' than it was when those same charged bodies were arranged in the form of the precursors of the chemical reaction; and much, or maybe all, of that energy ends-up as heat - ie extra kinetic energy of the new molecules. So the question is: as the reaction is in-progress, do the rearranging electrons perform their 'motions' in such a way as directly to exert the force on the atoms & fragments of molecules necessary to accelerate them to their new higher speeds?

As far as I can figure, the only alternative would be for the energy to appear in the very first instance as photons, which then are absorbed by the new molecules, which receive the energy of those photons. But I can't really see it working like that, because each photon would, through necessity of conserving momentum, only be able to impart a miniscule amount of kinetic energy to the molecule or fragment of molecule, so that an excessively large № of these photons would have to be generated - over-&-over again, with the molecule getting a tiny boost (about ½Q^(2)/mc^(2) ) each time it absorbs one ... with some of them escaping & being easily detected as bright light of specific wavelengths, which doesn't happen in the case of combustion of such things as petrochemical fuels, although it does happen in the case of combustion of metals.

So if the chemical energy is directly converted into kinetic energy of the products, where would I find account of how it occurs? - ie the quantum mechanics of how the rearranging of a bunch of electrons & more massive positively charged bodies directly translates into relative motion of the finally-formed parts.

 

Or, to put it more crudely, does the settling of the electrons into their new places constitute a kind of tiny 'railgun' that 'launches the more massive parts off' as they are in the process of constituting themselves, & therefore whilst their own electronic configuration is in a more excited state that the rapidly-changing electric & magnetic fields due to that 'settling' of the electrons can get 'a handle' on?

 

It probably does translate directly into kinetic energy, doesn't it. We can imagine two bodies, each of which can store energy by internal vibration, colliding, & the energy of the collision going-into exciting the vibrational modes of the two objects that have just collided. Now fo

aight Ch. 1 pt. 6 Chemical energy

In my magic system people have the ability to absorb and output different energy types, stuff like Thermal, Sonic, light, and Kinetic energy, these are the basic four that are widely known by the population, but a certain few individuals can harness the power of electricity, as well as chemical energy.

keep in mind this is creation and absorption not manipulation. each person has an input and an output, so somebody could be a thermal/sonic, a light/thermal, a kinetic/light, and so on and so on with the first word being what they can absorb, and the second being what they can turn said energy into.

So the main purpose of this post is that i was wondering what one could do to the world if they had the ability to break chemical bonds and absorb the energy. for inputs this would this be like disintegrating things, or more like ageing things, or like rusting them?

For outputs does this give them the ability to become alchemists? could they create new elements out of air? do they need to be able to cause chemical reactions based on giving/taking energy from bonds?

Now this is all hypothetical, im 100% sure that this is impossible and isn't even clear, its a bit confusing and I've been told that it doesn't work, Electricals on a small scale could increase and decrease the energy charge of atoms but I dont know if it will work like this. Id greatly appreciate thoughts and ideas
