@ronakjain yes (and no) the method as a whole.. It is fine to say the change in free energy is so and so.. however, we have only ways to calculate the difference in free energy and not actual values of free energy. [I think]
@ronakjain I am not exactly sure if this is valid..
@Safdar but the books also calculate the exact value with their method ? Can you tell me whether my method is correct or not ? I just only want to derive the expression for gibbs free energy change and reaction quotient
Because from what you state, if G value is positive then, it is reacts [But with what?]
@ronakjain This formula is derived using chemical potential.. Which is currently not taught in syllabus.. that may be why it seems so confusing.. basically, they use dG=Sigma(udN) to prove this.
Wikipedia has a pretty good proof on how this happens.. but you have to keep in mind that it is fine if you don't understand because right now this is out of scope..
Can someone answer that why a group can't a group "exert" +M/-M effect on phenyl ring if it is non-planar to it? And is it just in case of Phenyl ring?
@Safdar actually Grignard look for the acidic hydrogen for the best,and if it is not there it goes for the lone pair if i have RMgx compound if react it with a ethylene oxide what you feel what would happen?
@Safdar i got my answer one more question if i react Grignard with a compound who has both alcohol as well as carbonyl group where does it react and why?
According to Organic Chemistry: Second Edition,[1, pg 934](from which I assume that the question was taken):
Enantiomerically pure (R)-2-bromopropanoic acid reacts with concentrated sodium hydroxide to give (S)-lactic acid. The reaction goes with inversion and is a typical SN2 reaction—and a goo...

@Yuvraj aldehyde since nucleophilic attack happens at more electrophilic center..
The following reaction mechanism was given as a solution to a solved problem in my textbook1 for the addition of hydrogen iodide to 3,3‐dimethylbut‐1‐yne:
It can be seen that that 2,2-diiodo-3,3-dimethylbutane (a geminal dihalide) is the product according to this mechanism. I arrived at a differ...
Yes...A third option would be reporting the specific comments and/or answers where the condescending stuff has been said..It might be that the mods don't directly question you, or it bypasses them...Either way, flagging stuff seems the most indirect way to do the reporting, if a mod doesn't have to be invloved directly
@Safdar For that benzaldehyde thing, I didn't pay attention closely but the phenol only should migrate as it can stabilize the TS by it's electron rich nature
