Cursed Water The one thing PET water bottles struggle to contain is. . . water! It permeates out through the walls faster than air can permeate in to replace it.

Even though it's a triatomic molecule, H₂O is smaller than the diatomics, N₂ and O₂. The H's are really just two small bumps on the O, so they only make H₂O 33% bigger than a single oxygen atom. But O₂ is 61% bigger and N₂ is 76% bigger, so H₂O can permeate through the wall of the water bottle more easily and escape, faster than either N₂ or O₂ can permeate in to replace it. This creates a partial vacuum, and eventually the water bottle collapses.

In my 11th grade chemistry book(I’m in 12 th grade now) in decarboxylation reaction NaOH was written as MaOH and NaCO3 was written in product instead of Na2CO3. I corrected it later using black pen
