Solving Organic Chemistry: Acids & Bases Problems

AI Thread Summary
Understanding acids and bases in organic chemistry can be challenging, particularly when transitioning from inorganic to organic concepts. The discussion highlights the importance of the Lewis definition, which focuses on LUMO and HOMO interactions, while also noting that Bronsted and Arrhenius definitions are adequate for explaining mechanisms. For those struggling with these topics, seeking online tutorials that cover organic chemistry concepts, especially stereochemistry, is recommended.

I have problem in complete understanding these concepts especialy in organic chemistry. Inorganic was simple HaON, HCl and similar, but now in organic chemistry Acids and Bases concept and fast determining of those is killing me :(.

Is there a place on internet with good tutorial covering this subject, good stereochemistry tutorial wouldn’t hurt me also ;). Than you very much!

Organic chemistry acid and base definition relies heavily on the Lewis concept, the LUMO and HOMO interaction model of describing acids and bases. But either of the Bronsted or Arrehnius definitions are sufficient in describing the mechanisms. I'm sure that you won't have too concerned about the matter.
 

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!!
