AI Thread Summary
2-Pentanol can be synthesized from 2-pentene and water, but there is interest in exploring its production through fermentation. The discussion highlights the potential for a fermentation reaction to yield 2-pentanol, represented by the equation involving the formation of C5H12O and CO2. The reference to the article from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology suggests that there may be relevant research on microbial processes that could facilitate this synthesis. The feasibility and specific pathways for producing 2-pentanol via fermentation remain key points of inquiry.

so i know that 2-pentanol can be synth'd from 2-pentene+H20

however, i'd like to know if its possible to synth the molecule via a fermentation reaction


all i have so far:

__ ______ --> __ C5H12O + __ CO2

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
