Identifying the Source of Organic Chemistry Problems: A Scientist's Perspective

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking help to identify a book or problem collection related to organic chemistry exercises they received from a friend while preparing for a chemistry olympiad. They mention that the problems are more challenging than those found in Solomon's Organic Chemistry. Another user suggests that the problems may be from the "Book of Invisible Chemistry Problems," authored by Anon. The original poster later acknowledges a mistake in not uploading a picture of the exercise, which could assist in identifying the source.

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!!
