Specific vs Molar Heat Capacity[edit]

The intensive heat capacity value in the info box is per mole (Molar Heat Capacity) but labeled "Specific Heat Capacity", which is per mass. Is there a reason for this? Thelbert (talk) 21:49, 16 December 2015 (UTC)


I am sorry, but I suppose you must have done an error in normal temperature water density - "Liquid: 999.9720 kg/m3" should be "Liquid: 997.20 kg/m3" instead. Let us look at https://water.usgs.gov/edu/density.html . I went through chemical high school, I remember there was a "room" to argue that "water density is not exactly 1 (g/ml)". If it were by just 0.003%, no one would be seriously complaining, but 0.3% is something you can distinguish by normal balances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1x2trfn (talkcontribs) 21:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Solubility[edit]

I've just reverted a good-faith edit by Weneedwikipedia‎ to the solubility_other parameter in Template:Chembox, intending to move Weneedwikipedia‎'s new content to solvent_other, but the template does not have this parameter. Should we record the fact that water is an excellent solvent in the infobox, or is it sufficient to record the fact later in the running text? Dbfirs 11:34, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Sum vs product of concentrations[edit]

@Smokefoot:, are you sure in changing "product of the concentrations" to "sum of the concentrations" here? The product of the concentrations/(or to be more correct, activities) would remain constant as Kw.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Oops and yikes. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
