I’ve seen all kinds of lists, but nothing that a person can just go in and look to see if something they have purchased is recalled.

What is the major product when concentrated HBr reacts with prop-2-en-1-ol?

product design flaws
by Wootang01

Question by Gahan: What is the major product when concentrated HBr reacts with prop-2-en-1-ol?

My answer is OH group is substituted by Br and also addition of HBr according to Marckownikoff Rule will give me 1,2-dibromopropane.

But the correct answer is : 3-bromoprop-1-ene which means the region of double bond will remain unsaturated and only -OH substitution by -Br will occur.

This is what I am not getting. Help with explanation really needed.

Best answer:

Answer by Mark Collins
I would suspect the question given was only aimed to test you on nucleophilic substitution, and completely neglected the possibility of electrophilic addition. I believe this is a design flaw while the question was prepared.

However, if you insist the answer is correct, it may be explained by the negative inductive effect of the halogen atom (bromine) decreasing the electron density at the double bond, rendering it less susceptible to electrophilic attack. However, I am uncertain if the decrease in the electron density due to negative inductive effect alone is sufficient to inhibit electrophilic attack by electrophiles. I severely doubt that the extent of negative inductive effect of bromine atoms alone is sufficient to inhibit electrophilic attack by electrophiles. Even if that is true, given the hydrobromic acid used is concentrated, it should be enough to raise the rate of electrophilic addition.

Your answer is most likely correct.

Is there a section or site for consumer problems?

Question by Power: Is there a section or site for consumer problems?

When I think of the money I would have it I would only understand what to do when I have been ripped off I would have a lot of money.

I was just thinking of a time I purchased something with a rebate & then got the rebate back saying they couldn’t honor it. So I bought their product & ended up stuck paying too much for it.

If I would have known where to go to for wisdom on this subject I would have been better off.

Now I have found out that years ago I bought a computer from Best Buys & it was overheating & not working. When I would call them they wanted to charge me a large amount of money to speak with the geek squad. Then I was in Walmart one day & say that computer had been recalled. i had already replaced it with a new computer from Walmart. So now I know I can get my money back but I really don’t know how to go about whatever I need to do & don’t want to waste my time.

So where can a consumer find support in getting what they really are entitled to get? Is there a section here at y/a or is there another free site for this?

When I build, repair, or design things, I make big mistakes. My Math accuracy is horrible. Does anyone have any exercises to help make fewer mistakes.

It is ‘not’ just a Math problem, but it only seemed to fit here.

Q&A: Please review this computer build (gaming rig) and tell me any flaws in design/components.?

Question by Daemon: Please review this computer build (gaming rig) and tell me any flaws in design/components.?

I will be building my first gaming rig and need to know that these components will work seamlessly with each other. I would hate to get these parts only to realize that I’ve got incompatible MoBo/graphics.
PARTSLIST:

CD drive:LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model GH22NP20

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive

Graphics Card: Recertified: XFX HD465XZDF Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Ram: GeIL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GV34GB1066C7DC – Retail

PSU: Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE … – Retail

Mother Board: BIOSTAR TA760G M2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Processor: AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition Kuma 2.8GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core Processor Model AD785ZWCGHBOX

ALL PARTS are going to come from NEWEGG.com, fyi.

So if there are any issues with this build please give me your advice, I’m open to suggestions.
PS: I understand that this rig isn’t the best quality; however, i am working on a budget. These are the parts I would like to use, so unless they aren’t compatible, or I need more than 320GB of HD 😉 then I wouldn’t want to change the SPECS. And yes VISTA 64bit.

Best answer:

Answer by Deus
Not bad of a rig, but i would recommend you get more than 320 GB of hard drive space, it will get eaten up pretty quickly, trust me.

At least get a 500GB hard drive
