Talk:Bjerrum length

is typically not 300 K unless you like it hot. It is typically the range between 288 - 298 K (15-25°C)

: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 ($T\; \backslash approx\; 293\; \backslash mbox\{\; K\}$)" since $\backslash varepsilon\_r\; \backslash approx\; 80$ fits best to that temperature (according to the literature cited as source for the graph).

A dictionary definition.

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)
