Re: Final

I had this similar question before and someone told me that it will mainly be more on things after the midterm but it will also be cumulative.

Does anyone know if the final is cumulative? Or would we mostly be tested on what’s after the midterm?

Re: Steam vs. Boiled Water

Recalling back from what Lavelle mentioned in class, he said, because the enthalpy required to vaporize is higher than the enthalpy required to liquidize, thus steam is hotter than boiled water.

Would anyone mind posting some of the help that the TA's and UA's had during this week? I'd greatly appreciate it! the fact that I couldn't go to some is because I commute and its not worth wasting 4 hours of commute only for a 1 hour help. Thanks again!

Re: 8.65 6th Edition

It's important to note that ∆Hfº of a substance in its most stable form is 0. Some other examples of when they equal 0 are, H2, O2, N2, Cl2, Br2, I2, and F2, so in this case O2 = O, which iis in it's most stable form making it equal to 0.

I had this same question, but I assume that the products in an instance that they are not zero is when the question first asks you to find a concentration at equilibrium and there is a follow up question that states that a certain product was added towards the end. As, for the question in the book I...

Re: 7th Edition 6A.19

I'm not sure if this helps or not, but I have the 6th edition and this similar problem appears in my textbook but mine says that H3O+ part (c) is 3.1mmol•L^-1 and when converting it to only moles it gives 0.0031 which is 3.1 x 10^-3. If by any chance this helps.

Re: Converting Kc to Kp

Kp = Kc (RT)^Dn
P = nRT/V
R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = Temperature in K
Dn = tot. mol product - tot. mol reactant

Not sure if this is the way, but I'm also trying to figure this out. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please!
