How many times did they remix that 42.5% before being like I’m just going to go be a clown?
There pretty much had to be a grad student getting absolutely grilled for crappy measurements when they showed the paper.
“Here are my 6 measurements per datapiont, totalling 240, and here are the 137 measurements for that one spike there”
That is nothing but nature trolling us
Why it do it like that?
My uneducated gut feeling is that it’s due to the ratio of water and how the water molecules interact with the acid. Other acids have similar curves (in that they aren’t a smooth curve).
And that’s at fixed pressure, otherwise the graph turns 3D and whoever has to format it starts looking longingly at the window
Better is Acetic acid
Water itself is also fine. In space what ocurres with water? Does it freeze or evaporate?
