OP definitely wanted to seek out the mistake he committed and not asked of any conceptual query.

orthocresol

@MAFIA36790 that is fine to me. Mistakes are often rooted in conceptual misunderstandings (in this case, the fact that ΔG is not the same at different temps)

user116211

@orthocresol Then you are in the camp of people who think by solving HW questions, we can clear our conception....

user116211

Well, totally right....

user116211

But SE is not the place.....

Going by that logic we should ban mechanism questions because those aren't purely conceptual either - they are applications of org chem concepts to problems

user116211

@orthocresol They are definitely not HW.

Q: Reverse Friedel-Crafts mechanism

I need to find a mechanism for the above reaction but I cannot make much progress. I do have something in mind but it doesn't seem entirely plausible: First the tert-butyl group leaves (this seems wrong but tert-butyl cation is stable and thus a reasonable leaving group maybe? Also the negative...

user116211

14:07

Why in the world would you see mechanisms having dearth of concept?

orthocresol

concepts in organic chemistry are acidity/basicity, electrophilicity/nucleophilicity, sterics/electronics, inductive/resonance, etc. etc.

user116211

@orthocresol Agreed.

orthocresol

obviously drawing mechanisms requires a grasp of these concepts but it's the same thing with thermo HW problems - solving them requires a grasp of thermo concepts

IͶΔ

Ya know guys, I just realized discussions where people don't disagree are very boring.

orthocresol

at least they're more productive :p

user116211

14:11

@IͶΔ Be the Devils' advocate, then....

user116211

@orthocresol Yep!

orthocresol

Everybody has a different idea about HW policy and nobody is really right or wrong

Hippalectryon

@IͶΔ I disagree :(

orthocresol

Which is probably why we've been stuck discussing it for ages

user116211

@orthocresol Check really what OP wanted.... he wanted us to find where he went wrong....

user116211

14:12

this is indeed HW which really lacks any query on concept.

user116211

@orthocresol All HWs are not closed, isn't it?

orthocresol

@MAFIA36790 I usually vtc based on effort shown

But that's just me

user116211

@orthocresol Plus there must be query on concept.

orthocresol

well, I guess we can disagree on that for the time being :p

Q: How does one use the Latin word "cum" in a sentence?

I'm talking about the Latin cum, which I've seen used conjunctively, as in A-cum-B. What does it mean, and how do you use it?

meaning word-usage latin

user116211

WTF!

Hippalectryon

As a French, I didn't even see the issue at first ;_; @IͶΔ

user116211

I never ever imagined that anyone would ever wrongly take cum :(

@MAFIA tell me which usage one is more likely to encounter on a public chatroom on the internet?

user116211

Never read Robinson Crusoe by Defoe!

user116211

@IͶΔ I am a decent Indian; I know when to use slang....

user116211

@Hippalectryon Thanks.

user116211

I hardly use slang!

@MAFIA36790 How hard was to use "with" instead?

I can't undelete messages.

user116211

@IͶΔ I never could imagine; it just came; I use it in my writings; from my English project to annual tests; I never had any problem :(

And are there any problems?

Big deal! I just deleted a chat message.

Yeah, the coffee one wasn't working because of some annoying URL redirect, that's all.

Also, that is some weird looking ice cream.

Is that orange peel? It looks kind of like cheddar cheese.

Hippalectryon

It's orange peel.

pentavalentcarbon

That's what I thought. But I have no idea what those red berries are.

Hippalectryon

I'm not sure either

IͶΔ

They're fruit.

pentavalentcarbon

Well that's obvious, I mean what kind of fruit. They look fake.

Actually, the whole thing looks fake. Ice cream doesn't look that perfect. Ever.

These things matter, you know.

@pentavalentcarbon Reminds me of the burgers I didn't get to eat.

@IͶΔ So I've heard that hamburgers in places other than the United States are almost universally terrible, and that makes me sad.

It makes me not want to come to the US

user116211

@pentavalentcarbon They are potato mashes.

pentavalentcarbon

@IͶΔ Why, because you'll be spoiled forever?

@MAFIA36790 Aha, I knew it!

@pentavalentcarbon No, because I would never be fit

@IͶΔ But beef. Beef beef beef. If you aren't vegetarian, the beef is amazing.

@IͶΔ: what are the fast foods (indigenous) that you like to eat?

user116211

@pentavalentcarbon I'm veggie!

@MAFIA36790 The vegetarian food here, at least on the coasts, is also very good.
