It’s also something that will vary based on the population.

Perhaps not necessary but if you don’t run them you’ll need some proof that your products are safe. How will you prove it?

The link to use now is - https://chemistscorner.com/members-directory/chemicalmatt/forums/comments/page/2/
Change the page number to whatever one you want.
Hopefully, they’ll have it completely working shortly.

The choice to switch was not one that I necessarily wanted to do.
The old forum software didn’t work any longer. -

AdministratorFebruary 9, 2023 at 1:41 pm in reply to: Comments on New forum design / softwareI’m working on figuring out how to change from “member” to something else.
However, in the “profile” section you can put a lot more than in the previous software. I’d suggest you populate that so anyone who clicks on your username will get the information they need.

AdministratorFebruary 13, 2023 at 7:16 am in reply to: Lactic vs Citric acid…differences and advantages.Looks like it is a linking issue. I’ll have my IT guy fix it.
In the mean time, if you want to look at all of his replies you need the link to look like this…
https://chemistscorner.com/members-directory/chemicalmatt/forums/replies/page/2/
Just change the #2 to any of the 44 pages you want to view

AdministratorFebruary 12, 2023 at 1:58 pm in reply to: Lactic vs Citric acid…differences and advantages.I believe you can do the following…
1. Click on any user’s name. That will bring up their profile.
2. Then click on “forums” which is in the menu just below their name. (The default menu is “profile”)
3. This brings up a list of all the discussions they started, the comments they made, and the things that they favorited.
That should be exactly what you are looking for and easier than using Google.

AdministratorFebruary 12, 2023 at 8:27 am in reply to: Lactic vs Citric acid…differences and advantages.I’m trying to fix the site but one trick you can do is to use Google.
Go to Google. In the search bar type chemistscorner.com : <username>
I think that will show all instances of that person’s posts. But the link might not be quite right. If the link to any of them has the format https://chemistscorner.com/forum/discussion/xxxx Remove the /forum/ part and try it without that. That should call up the right page.

AdministratorFebruary 9, 2023 at 1:40 pm in reply to: Comments on New forum design / softwareI’m not sure I understand the problem with the search function. Is it working for you now?
I tested it on my system and it is now working. It could be a “cookie” issue on your computer at the moment. Perhaps clear cookies and try.
Let me know if you are still having problems.
Thanks!

AdministratorFebruary 7, 2023 at 2:45 pm in reply to: Why molecular weight of cetearyl alcohol is 512.94 instead of ~250I asked ChatGPT and it said…
“The molecular weight of cetearyl alcohol is 392.62 g/mol.“
I don’t think that is correct either.
More from ChatGPT -
“The sum of the molecular weights of cetyl alcohol (C16H32O) and stearyl alcohol (C18H38O) is approximately 410 g/mol.
To calculate this, we first need to determine the atomic weight of each element in the molecule and then multiply it by the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. The atomic weights of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) can be taken from the periodic table.
For cetyl alcohol, the molecular weight is:
16 (C) * 12.01 (atomic weight of C) + 32 (H) * 1.01 (atomic weight of H) + 1 (O) * 16 (atomic weight of O) = 192.48 g/mol
For stearyl alcohol, the molecular weight is:
18 (C) * 12.01 (atomic weight of C) + 38 (H) * 1.01 (atomic weight of H) + 1 (O) * 16 (atomic weight of O) = 218.36 g/mol
Finally, the sum of the molecular weights of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol is:
192.48 + 218.36 = 410.84 g/mol
Note: This is an approximate value, and the actual molecular weight of cetearyl alcohol may slightly vary depending on its specific composition.“
So, I think the average molecular weight is (x)192.48 + (y)(218.36)
In this case x = fraction of cetyl alcohol and y = fraction of stearyl alcohol -

This is a wysiwyg editor so if you want to underline something you can highlight it and do <ctrl>U
<ctrl>B bolds text
<ctrl>I italicizes, etc. -
