Hello all!

I found your forum on google while trying to look up a problem on my Chem 101 homework. A little about me, in case anyone cares:

Im a 36 year old male from Boise who decided to go back to school last year. Im in my second year (4th semester) at a local community college and am really enjoying school. Im taking Trig, Chem 101 w/ Chem lab, and American History. Doing a Liberal Arts degree with an engineering focus. I'll be transferring to Boise State after finishing up at CWI (College of Western Idaho).

I hope Ill be able to ask some questions with Chemistry and Trig without being too annoying haha

Thanks for reading,
unstable

P.S. If someone can link the board to post my issue, Id appreciate it. The problem Im having trouble with is:
Find the number of SO₄^2- Units, #S atoms, #O atoms, #Metal atoms for the following: CaSO₄

Hello everyone!
That's my first post, I'm a researcher in chemistry!
My interest are Polymers and catalysts ... not very skilled in Organic chemistry!

Hello, my name is Guilherme and I'm a 1st year undergrad in Chemistry here in the south of Brazil.
I'm applying for a military exam to try and join the Army, meanwhile I'll be studying 1 year of Chem, so I'm trying to make the most out of it.

Honestly, I'm bad at Chemistry, didn't have a good base in high-school, and that is why I decided to study it more.

Also explosive reactions are really fun.

Also explosive reactions are really fun.

Sure they are.

Bad news: we don't discuss explosives here.

I'm well aware, I've read the rules.

Hello, friend.

I am from India, seventeen years old who wishes to become a pharmaceutical scientist. I wish to join one of the IITs for my M.Sc (Or M.S as you folks put it. We generally in India, refer to M.S as Master of Surgery.)

Dear Friends,

I am Rolf, 53 years old.
I became interested in chemistry as a 12 year old, after my father bought mee and my brother a chemistry-set. I had a lab in our basement as a teenager, making both experiments with chemistry and electricity. Started at Astra-Zeneca in -96 doing prodrugs of penicillin, switched to working with nucleosides targeting HIV. When Astra closed down the HIV-research my bosses started a new company, Medivir. I stayd at Astra for one more year working with CNS-drugs, mainly 8-OHDPAT analogs doing a lot of palldium(0) and copper-chemistry then I quit and started at Medivir. At this time I also started my PhD. We worked with PETT-analogs, doing some really neat QSAR-work with the software PC-Model from Serena Software. I bought stocks really cheap when Medivir was just a 10-people company and -94 the company was on the Stockholm Stock Market, I made some profit on this. I have invested this in my own company Kemicon and are now working on some nice protecting group chemistry.
Have a nice day!

I started at Astra-Zeneca -86, mistake!

From Connecticut, have taught at a small college/university.  Have done lots of different kinds of chemistry - but mostly Organic related.

Love to run.

Hello everybody! I recently joined this forum since I'm from Sweden and there's no Swedish counterpart where chemistry can be discussed.

I am taking a course in chemistry in October this fall, the reason for this is mainly because of interest and not necessarily because I care about education per se, as in my mom wanting to do something with my life etc, haha. Although, if my levels of knowledge increase to such a state that I am competent enough for a job, that would be wonderful, but I mostly value knowledge in itself

Greetings from Sweden!

Hi, everyone! I'm an academic researcher studying how people read and write technical communication (such as manuals and how-to instructions) outside of a workplace setting. I'm here to learn more about citizen chemistry. I'm also a tenured professor, amateur recorder player, and very slow runner. I live in Chicago, IL with my husband (who is a researcher and librarian) and our cat, Houdini.
