How do I know what product to I get from the reaction between 2 molecules?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the chemical reaction between Linolenic Acid and Luteolin, with the user speculating that it may involve an acid-base reaction. They propose that Linolenic Acid could act as an acid and Luteolin as a base, suggesting that the alcohol group from Linolenic Acid might interact with the double bond oxygen in Luteolin. The user expresses uncertainty about whether the reaction would yield water as a product, typical of acid-base reactions, or if the molecules would simply bond without breaking apart. They also mention the concept of condensation reactions, specifically referencing alcohol-acid ester formation as a relevant example.

Hi,

I need to know what is the product I would get from the reaction between Linolenic Acid 8http://dl.clackamas.edu/ch106-06/images/fatty10.jpg) and Luteolin (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/f/f9/20070124191456!Luteolin.png)

I think Linolenic Acid would act as an acid and Luteolin as a base, so it would be an acid-base reaction.

I would say that the alcohol from linolenic acid would attack the oxygen with the double bond from luteolin but I think I need to get water as a product from and acid-base reaction. I don't know if the would just bond, or the molecules would break apart...

Thanks for the help!

Ever heard of a condensation reaction? A common one is alcohol-acid ester formation.
 

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!!
