The key is you need to remember to balance the equation. Then you can use the integrated rate law to solve for time.

Re: 15.17
As the others said, C is zero order because looking at experiments 1 and 4, even though the concentration of C changes, the initial rate remains the same. This means C has no impact and therefore its exponent is 0.

Im pretty sure the unique rate refers to only 1 mole of reactant in the reaction. Since there are three moles of oxygen we multiple the unique rate by 3.

Re: Writing rate laws
When the reactant is first order, you do not need to include the exponent, when the reactant is 0 order, you do not need to write the reactant at all.

Re: Concentration Cells
I believe the difference in concentration creates a potential difference because on one end reduction occurs, and on the other oxidation is occurring which allows for the travel of electrons and in turn allows for current to flow.

Re: K and Q at equilibrium
Erxn is Estandard at equilibrium. Q=1 at equilibrium. This checks out mathematically using the equation Estandard=Erxn+rt/nf lnq. if q=1, then lnq=0 and Erxn=Estandard

Re: State Properties
heat capacity is q=c(delta t)
specific heat capacity is q=mc(delta t)
basically specific heat capacity is specific to your sample because it incorporates mass.

I think the question will specify if the gas is ideal. If it doesn't specify whether the gas is ideal or not, it will give explicit condition of the gas.

Re: 8.99 Concept
i think they are using the q=mc(dt) equation to solve for dt. this works because we are given the m, the c, and the q leaving the dt. I think your way probably works too, but is a lot more work.

As jannie had said, gasses do have more entropy and therefore the reactants in this case have more entropy than the products because there are more moles of gas on the reactants side.

Delta u= q+w
where u is energy and q is heat and w is work. Thus the ways to change energy is by adding or subtracting heat or work.

Re: Molar heat capacity
Not sure if this is right or not but the way I was thinking about it was the lower he pressure, the easier it is to add heat and therefore the lower the heat capacity... similarly the greater the volume, the more energy it can absorb and therefore the specific heat capacity is lower... again I’m not...

I believe the delta symbol always means change in the given variable which in this case is U(final)-U(initial)=(delta) U. U is the energy of the system.

Re: Phase Changes
Exothermic phase changes are ones that release heat such as a gas turning into a liquid or solid, or a liquid turning into a solid. As the temperature lowers, energy is released and the phase changes.

Re: Paths and Changes of State
I don’t think we need to know what you drew however we need to know how to draw and interpret a phase change graph plotting energy and heat and you definetley should be able to determine whether this change is endothermic or exothermic.
