Is the process the same for when you're looking for the rate of decomposition versus the rate of formation?

zanekoch1A

Since the exponents do not come from the coefficients, how are they determined?

zanekoch1A

I'm a little unclear on which example problems in the textbook use which method, does anyone know?

zanekoch1A

So for second order reactions, unlike first order, we have to use two equations not just the the one half life equation?

zanekoch1A

which equations do we need to be able to derive?

zanekoch1A

Why is it said that 0th order reactions do not depend on concentration while first and second do. In the equations it looks like they all depend on concentrations.

zanekoch1A

All reactions are affected by both but some are more dependent on one or the other. Kinetics and thermodynamics are two ways or describing the same phenomenon; its like saying I have to drive for 100 miles or I have to drive for 2 hours. Both are measuring the same thing in different ways.

I agree with the first response, the statement is saying first that to use a voltmeter it must have very high resistance (be very non-conductive) because otherwise some of the electricity that would normally be going from one end of the cell to the other would be drawn away. Second it says how becau...

They use [H]/[OH] because this is relating the concentrations of products and reactants but only considering the compounds (H30+ and OH-) that matter for PH. It is a way of simplifying the problem's calculations I think. You cannot use the equation you listed E=E°+(0.0592v) X pH? because the questio...

Is this because electrochemical reactions are intensive or is that incorrect?

zanekoch1A

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I keep getting an answer around 1.5kj. I am using in the Gnot part of the equation a T of 273 and a k of 6.8 and and in the G side a T of 1200 and ln(.13/.98). What am I doing wrong?

Doesn't the sign of gibbs that makes the reaction more stable depend on which side of the reaction the compound is written? If it is on the reactants then a positive gibbs would imply stability and if it is on the products a negative.

zanekoch1A

In problem 9.63 the book asks which of a set of compounds are stable with respect to their decompositions into their elements. Is it asking if the Gibbs free energy of the reaction of the compund going to its parts is positive? Would a positive gibbs free energy of this reaction imply stability?

zanekoch1A

So you have to combine the deltaH of products and reacants and deltaS of products and reactants before you put them into the Gibbs equation?

zanekoch1A

How is it possible for the water vapor to cool back down to 85 degrees without undergoing another phase change back to a liquid?

zanekoch1A

So for future reference if they do not specify number of moles and say assume ideal gas conditions this automatically means 1mol of substance?

zanekoch1A

For 9.7 I understand why you use deltas=nCpln(t2/t1) but what do you use for Cp? Is there a way to solve it without knowing Cp because I don't think its given.

zanekoch1A

Would another way to solve it be knowing that for a equation like this it is appropriate to assume it is at constant pressure which would mean change in internal nrg= q which is in turn equal to, and constant pressure, enthalpy change which is given? The answer would then be -318, the book gives -32...

Does anyone know if the born-haber cycle will be tested? There is a whole section on it in the chapter but we have not talked about it in class

Oops my mistake this is in fact problem 8.43, I have corrected the title. Thank you Diane I thought heat capacity would be indicated by how long that phase of the graph was but I know understand that it is the slope.

zanekoch1A

I am not sure hwy the answer for this problem is C instead of either B or D which both seem like reasonable choices because they fulfill the requirements of having a "longer" line for the vaporization than fusion and same is true for the heat capacities. Can someone please enlighten me?

zanekoch1A

Maybe the most basic example of the difference between a state property and one that is not is the difference between displacement and distance. Displacement is a state property because if you look at the beginning and ending point that tells you everything you need to know displacement however for ...

zanekoch1A

The way I remember the difference is that extensive sounds like extension and the amount something extends into space is dependent on how much of something there is just like and extensive property is. Intensive I remember by it sounding liking inside, so all that matters is what is inside the objec...

For me remembering definitions through phonetic tricks/associations is pretty helpful. I remember exothermal by thinking how exo is like exo skeleton and how exoskeletons are on the outside, just like how in an exothermal reactions the heat moves to the outside of where it formerly was. Then I remem...
