AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a chemical reaction where the initial assumption was that the Cannizzaro Reaction would occur, but literature suggests otherwise. The participant is seeking verification of their proposed product from experts. Additional information is provided about the production of hydrogen peroxide, referencing the anthraquinone process as a potential source for further research. The conversation highlights the complexity of organic chemistry and the need for expert input in verifying reaction outcomes.

Question
Find out the product of the following reaction
Untitled.png

Initially I thought that the conditions are favourable for Cannizzaro Reaction, but I was instructed (by the book) that it would not give that reaction.
I guessed and made a product and request verification from the experts in this topic.

Thanking You.

First: I don't know the answer. I'm just providing a bit more info. O-chem is really not my thing, but the production of H2O2 is something I had reason to read up on recently. Have a look at the anthraquinone process at Wikipedia. It may confirm your hypothesis or give you another place to look, at least.

Good luck

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...
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!!
