@Jan dunno... I have not been coming around that much and I am not interested in organic chemistry, generally Tokyo and Kyoto are good references, but when thinking post-doc choose a group where you can learn something...

Or of course Sapporo, that's a good place, Hokkaido has great food

Okay... work done for this year... see y'all some time soon :D Have a good winter break (If you do)

@Martin-マーチン That's a start, thanks =3 Of course I would go for places where there are possibly interesting projects to be had but rather than go through every single university all around the country I thought of asking where would be good 'starting points' ;)

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@Jan ALARM! ALARM! BUZZZZZZ "but rather than" is ungrammatical.

Jan

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. 'Rather than go through everything I thought of asking a single question' is a grammatical sentence, isn't it?

So then, if I have a preceeding sentence, I can connect the two with but and still have a grammatical sentence, can I not?

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@Jan Yes, but but is a pain in the butt there.

@Jan The conjunction is "rather than".

It's like saying "however but, blah blah blah".

Jan

Alright then; I would go for interesting stuff, but I thought of quickly asking rather than going through every permutation. Better? ;p

Anyways, I'm off to the sauna now! o/

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@Jan sauna = fume hood?

Q: Organic chemistry awesome question

I think answer (b) is correct but correct answer is (c). I think so as it is the only compound where C is not chiral . While in others racemic mixture in SN1 and enantiomer in SN2 are formed , in (b) there is no question about this .Please tell if i got it right.

@Mart here's one lovely title as a Christmas gift.

Sauna

Sauna on suomalainen muoto monissa kulttuureissa käytettävästä hikoilukylpyä ja peseytymistä varten rakennetusta rakennuksesta tai huoneesta. Suomalaistyyppisiä saunoja on myös muissa maissa kuin Suomessa. == Saunan historiaaMuokkaa == Vanhimmat saunat olivat rakennelmia, joissa oli yksi kuumaksi lämmitettävä tila. Tila lämmitettiin tulisijalla, kiukaalla, jossa liekit lämmittivät tulipesän päälle rakennetun kiviladelman. Nykyisin kyseistä kiuastyyppiä kutsutaan rauniokiukaaksi. Savu nousi kiviladelman läpi suoraan saunatilaan, eli kysymyksessä oli savusauna. Myöhemmin kiviladelma kehitty...

@Mart just to be sure, I'm allowed to flag comments on answers such as "Can you also look at this question?", right?

You're allowed to flag everything, I heard ;)

A: What would be the effect of the addition of an inert gas to a reaction at equilibrium?

Nick's answer is good. Let's add a little maths. Let's take an example dissociation reaction $\ce{A<=>B + C}$ for which $K_p=1$. Since $$K_p = \dfrac{P_B P_C}{P_A}$$ one equilibrium scenario is $P_A =P_B = P_C = 1 \text{ atm}$. The total pressure $P_T = 3 \text{ atm}$. If we add an inert gas ...
