Limitations to the Henderson-Hasselbach Eq
What were the limitations for the Henderson-Hasselbach equation? In other words, when can it NOT be calculated? (i.e. when acids/bases are strong/weak) Also, to get rid of the logs, you can simply raise everything to the power of 10 correct? I've used it for other equations but I'm not sure if you c...

Question about the exam
In some of the equilibrium HW problems, they have you "refer to Table 11.2." Does anyone know if we need to memorize those values/we will get them on the Exam?

Temperature
I'm having a difficult time understanding how equilibrium shift from temperature. Are there any easy concept to remember for solving these problems? Let me know if I need to clarify

Quadratic formula
I understand that when you apply the quadratic formula, you get two values (one of which is typically negative). What is the concept behind the reason why you would NOT use the negative number to plug back into the equilibrium equation?

double bonds
So after practicing Lewis Structure, I've realized some atoms such as S, C and O create double bonds more often than others. What is the reasoning behind that?

Re: Octets
Does that apply for all row 3 atoms? That they can all accept more than 8 electrons? If so, can they all accept a total of 10, just like Sulfur?
Thanks
Thanks

Mixing Orbitals
When mixing orbitals with one another, do you always need similar energies as well as similar symmetry between bonds? If not, what would happen? would they simply not bond?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Bond Order
NEED CLARIFICATION: How do you calculate bond order? And what does it mean in terms of chemistry? Can bond order be calculated for just one atom, or does it have to be two atoms joined together?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: 1st and 2nd ionization energy? [ENDORSED]
In terms of equations, the equation for the first ionization of energy is: Na --> Na+ + e-. Whereas the equation for the second ionization of energy is: Na+ --> Na2+ + e-. Also, it takes MORE energy for the second ionization of energy!
Hope this helps!

Re: Neutrons
Because Neutrons behave like a wave can we use the equation E = mc^2 to find the energy of the neutron if we know the mass of the neutron?

Re: Amplitude of the wave [ENDORSED]
The amplitude of a wave is directly related to how high energy the wave is.
Think as if you were creating waves on a string fixed at the other end. The harder you jerk it(the more energy you put in) the higher the amplitude of the wave you created will be.

Re: What is the eV unit? [ENDORSED]
Also the term electron volt is self defining in that 1 eV is literally the charge of one electron times 1 Volt.
(1.6 x 10 ^-19 C) * (1 kg m^2 s^-2 C^-1) = 1.6 * 10^-19 J
In reality it is just about having ease of units more than anything else
Hope this helps!

So I know that the sign of the Quantum Spin Number defines the direction of the spin, but why is the Quantum Spin Number only equal to +/- 1/2 instead of being +/- 1?

electrons
Curious. If a photon does not have enough energy to emit an electron from a metal surface, where does that energy go? Does it get stored as potential energy? Or does it simply just escape and become irrelevant?
