That’s a good point, and not too pedantic I think. There have been concerns about leaching from pressure treated woods, conservation of paper products which leach acidic compounds are an issue, and I may have given the impression that plastic was somehow unusually ephemeral when it’s far from unique. Thanks for the kind correction.
- Pulcinella 8y ago:) Kinetic stability vs. Thermodynamic stability is one of the reasons why it’s so difficult to make a chemistry lab simulator without just handcoding thousands of reactions. Books like The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics have all the information needed to simulate a reaction thermodynamically, but not realistically. For example, thermodynamically hydrogen gas should explode on contact with oxygen, but that doesn’t generally happen in real life without something like a spark. You need the rate constant for a reaction and you can only get that through bench research or really advanced quantum chemistry simulations. That rate constant only applies to that reaction so you need a different one for methane and oxygen for example. By that point your back to just handcoding individual reactions.
