We all know what happens when spacetime bends. What happens when it folds instead? Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 01:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi there.
I have Potassium Sorbate granules and I need it in liquid form as concentrated as posible.
According to
Potassium_sorbate, its "Solubility in Water" is 58.2% at 20°C,
but I'm not sure what that means in practical terms?
(In other words, if I take 100g of Potassium Sorbate, what is the minimum amount of water I will need to dissolve it, and, therefore what strength Potassium Sorbate would that solution be?)
Thanks in advance

On a website about unusual Linnaean names I visited a few years back, there was a mention of two Japanese birds of the same genus whose common names in Japanese were mixed up when they were given scientific names. Something like the bird called yosenabe in Japanese was given the scientific name Nipponavis akamichi and the bird called akamichi in Japanese was given the scientific name Nipponavis yosenabe. I can no longer find this page, and searching for "japanese birds" and "mix up" has left me empty-handed. Does anyone know the names of the two bird species who got their names mixed up?
