AI Thread Summary
To react an alkyne with a ketone, it is necessary to first treat the alkyne with sodium amide (NaNH2) to generate a nucleophile. This step is crucial for facilitating the reaction with the ketone. The discussion also references a specific experiment involving tetraphenylcyclopentadiene and diphenylacetylene, which was conducted by heating in silicone oil without the use of bases, indicating that alternative methods may exist for alkyne reactions. However, general reactions between alkynes and ketones are not well-documented in the sources consulted.

Can some one send me link that shows how a alkyne will react with a ketone. I have tryed google but found nothing.

Well you'll probably need to treat the alkyne with NaNH2 first, in order for it to react as a nucleophile towards the ketone. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any particular reactions of an alkyne in general and a ketone.
 
We reacted tetraphenylcyclopentadiene with diphenylacetylene while heating with a blow torch in silicone oil. Thats it, there where no bases
 

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!!
