Talk:Bjerrum length

Room Temperature

is typically not 300 K unless you like it hot. It is typically the range between 288 - 298 K (15-25°C) Vegar Ottesen 14:48, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

15^oC is a bit chilly for room temperature, admittedly I have worked in labs where the bench temperature was < 10^oC, but I don't think that was intentional. In the case of this article, maybe someone meant to refer to "standard ambient temperature and pressure" and decided to round up for some reason?

I changed the corresponding part to "water at room temperature ($T\approx 293{\mbox{ K}}$)" since $\varepsilon _{r}\approx 80$ fits best to that temperature (according to the literature cited as source for the graph). PChemiker (talk) 08:21, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

What is the significance of it?

A dictionary definition.

Am I crazy?

Am I crazy, or is there something off about the plot of the Bjerrum length? The expression is stated as going as 1/T, but the plotted graph is increasing with T. Is the x-axis meant to be the inverse temp, 1/kT? I want a bear as a pet (talk) 22:28, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Nevermind, just read that it is in water and the dielectric constant leads to the increase. It might be beneficial to showcase the temperature dependence of water's dielectric constant for clarity. I want a bear as a pet (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
