What is the relationship of concentration to cell potential? For example what would happen is we decreased the concentration of one of the reactants.

Fenared Ortiz 3K

The answer given is in L^4*mmol^-4*s^-1

Calculate the standard potential for the following reactions using the standard reduction potential on the last page of the test: Cr2O7 + 14H+ +12e- ---> 2Cr(s)+7H2O(l) Eo= 1.33V How would we approach this problem? At first I thought that we had to find the standard Gibbs energy, but this was marked...

How can we tell which elements have a higher reducing/oxidizing power? Do we use a periodic table, or do we have to have equations given in order to find out?

I am having trouble finding k for the rate:
rate=[A][B]^2[C]^2

I used one of the equations and plugged them in, and got 2.85, but i am confused as to why the answer is 2.85 x10^12. where did the 10^12 come from?

Fenared Ortiz 3K

In the answers it said that the answer is 2.2x10^-5 mol/(L*s), but I do not understand why they didn't convert the mL to L before solving the problem. Also how do we get those units?

Hi,
I was wondering If anyone in discussion 1F found a ring after discussion. It is a rosegold band twisted with a silver(diamond) band. It is very special to me and would appreciate it if someone had found it and returned it to me.
Thanks

Why is the Galvanic cell for the reaction:

Cd(s) + 2 Ni(OH)3(s) ----> Cd(OH)2(s) + 2 Ni(OH)2(s)

Cd(s)|Cd(OH)2(S)|KOH(aq)||Ni(OH)3|NI(OH2(S)|Ni(s)
Why is there a KOH? where did the K come from?
Also why are we using nickel for the solid on the cathode side?

b) Br2(l) --->BrO3-(aq)+Br-
Im confused on how the answer ended up with 3Br2

I got
3H2O+Br2 +6OH- ---> BrO3- +6H2O + 5e-
as the oxidation reaction

Im confused on how to approach the reduction one

A 245.7g sample of a metal at 75.2 degrees Celsius was placed in 115.43g of water at 22.6oC . The final temperature of the water was 34.6oC . Assuming no heat was lost to the surroundings, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Are we supposed to use q=nCd*delta T, and if so then how to we get to...

C12H22O11(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) +H2O(l)

Given this equation how would we be able to tell what happens to entropy?

The question stated :
A balloon filled with gas is expanded to a larger volume and lower pressure while maintaining the same temperature.

I was confused on how to Approach this question, is heat being transferred?

Dr. Lavelle mentioned during Wednesday's class that we can use entropy in order to find out if a system is favorable. He said there where two ways in order to find find this out, but I was not able to catch it.

Im confused on which bond enthalpies to use when we are using bond enthalpies. I know we have to add them together, but how do we find them in the appendix, for example for the problem 8.59

Fenared Ortiz 3K

When approaching a problem are there any keywords that will help identify what equation(s) to use? And just to make sure, which equations should we know how to use

The enthalpy of formation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) is 67 kJ·mol 1, and the density of TNT is 1.65 g·cm 3. In principle, it could be used as a rocket fuel, with the gases resulting from its decomposition streaming out of the rocket to give the required thrust. In practice, of course, it would be extr...

Is there a specific way to figure out if a real life example is open closed or isolated? Some of the examples get harder, but i understand what each one of them is .

Hi all, So I was wondering if there would be any chance that Dr. Lavelle would bruincast this quarter, because he bruincasted his lectures in the past. I do not intend to miss the lectures on purpose, but because of a conflict with work I have to miss Monday lectures, and do not want to fall behind.

How would we go about on finding out if a ligand is acting as a acid or a base?

Fenared Ortiz 3K

If a question asks how many electrons can there be with the given quantum numbers and they included a ml number is it always going to be on 2? Im assuming this because of the spin number but im not sure if this is correct.

So I am aware of the sig fig rules, but i am having trouble trying to figure out when to round and when to just do the cut off method. For example when i got an answer for a square root i got .000189737, and the answer was 1.89x10^-4. I was wondering if we put 1.90x10^-4 would be marked as wrong.

I am having trouble in understanding how to find the oxidation numbers of elements in chemical solutions involving ligands. What is the process to go about in finding oxidation numbers of the metals with ligands?

Fenared Ortiz 3K

I know we have to know certain values and memorize various acids and bases, and ligands, so I was wondering what tables should i memorize for the final?

Fenared Ortiz 3K

I am having trouble trying to understand how to tell if a ligand is biadentate, traiadentate etc. On the test in particular i did not understand how to figure it out because it was not in a typical ligand compound. Is there anyway to easily find out what they are?

The problem is: Find the initial concentration of HClO with a pH of 4.60(Ka=1.0x10^-8) When solving the problem I converted the pH to M and then put it in the ICE table under the [I] of HClO, but when we solved it, they put it under the [C]. I was confused as to why it went there instead of the I, i...

I was working on problems and noticed that there were where exceptions to the octet rule such as XeF6. In this one Xe shares atoms with all 6 F, which breaks the octet rule. My question is how do we know when it is okay to break the octet rule, and or are there only certain exceptions?
