AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the reactivity of chloro benzyl alcohol isomers—ortho, meta, and para—when used as reactants with esters. Key points include the influence of the position of the chloro group on the benzyl alcohol's nucleophilicity and the steric effects that may affect the reaction rates. Participants emphasize the importance of considering electronic effects and steric hindrance in determining which isomer would be more effective in nucleophilic substitution reactions with esters. The conversation also highlights the necessity of demonstrating prior effort in problem-solving to receive further assistance, adhering to forum guidelines.

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!!
