you would solve for concentration (M= moles/Volume) so do ((grams/g/mol))/Liters). In the problem it should say what order which will decide if you square it or just use that. If it is first order R= k[conc] and second order would be k[con]^2 and then you substitute in values and solve for k.

Yes w=-pdeltaV is for irreversible work and w=-nRTln(v2/v1) is used for isothermal, reversible expansion.
You would most likely use deltaU= w + q to calculate internal energy and would therefore need to solve for w and for q.

Re: Question 1.15
In most problems, it clearly states the order of this change, but if it does not you would use the equation: E= -hR/n^2
Stay away from V= R[1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2] because it will not clearly demonstrate what is truly happening in the problem.

Re: Wave vs Particle Properties of Light
Light has both wave properties and particle properties at all times. Certain experiments proved both of these things. For example, in the photoelectric experiment, the light acted as a particle. On the other hand, we know light has wave like properties based on spectroscopy, which was shown in the e...

Re: Rydberg's Formula
When do we know to us the ryberg constant 2.178 x10^-18 vs 3.29x 10^15. I understand that the first one is R times planck's constant but I don't understand how to choose which to pick?

Re: Energy in kj or j when solving a problem?
I have a question regarding units. How do kg cancel out when divided by J?

Re: Rydberg's Formula
This formula ties into the wavelength series, such as Lyman: n=1, Balmer: n=2, and Pashen: n=3. Your n initial and n final will correlate to these series.

Re: Balancing Process
When finding the molar mass of a molecule after balancing the equation, do you ignore the stoichiometric coefficients? For example, 4NH3 would you multiply by 4 or just find the molar mass of NH3?

Re: Balancing Process
For F3 are we going to be expected to know the molecular formula for nitric acid or is this a later topic?
