How do we know that there is a coefficient 2 in front of A in this question by looking at the graph?
Also, why are the values for the pressure in part b divided by a hundred? Thanks!

12.49
Where is the answer key getting the numbers used in the answer key for question 49? I understand that the pKb for morphine, 5.79 is from a table earlier in the chapter, but I couldn't find the values used for BrO-. Also, why was pKb used as opposed to Kb?

Calculations using ice box
When you're using ice box and you are solving for the value of x and you get to the point where you have initial concentration minus x in the denominator of the equilibrium equation, how do you know when you can ignore the x? In what cases is the x negligible and how do you know? Sorry if this was c...

Delocalized pi bonds [ENDORSED]
Is a delocalized pi bond basically a hybridized bond, or in other words a double bond in a resonance structure that is hybridized over multiple bonds? What would be an example of a localized pi bond?

Re: 4.19 b
In the answer key they explain that the bond between Be and the Carbons on either side of it are considered sp and linear. However, the CH3 on either side of the Be are considered tetrahedral because it connects to Be on one end and H on the other three. So you were right, the Be of the atom is not ...

Correlation between polarity, stability, and cis- vs trans- molecules
In class today, Dr. Lavelle used cis-dichloroethane and trans-dichloroethane to show how the dipoles of a molecule can cancel to make a bond polar, or they can face the same direction and therefore make the molecule non-polar. My question is, is one of these molecules more stable or more favorable t...

Re: Electron Density [ENDORSED]
I'm pretty sure that the bonded pairs count as regions of electron density as well. Although bonded regions may not repel each other as strongly as lone pairs do, they are still considered regions of electron density because electrons are likely to be present in this region.

Electron config of elements in 5d and 6d
When counting the number of electrons in the d subshell of an element in 5d or 6d, do we count the square on the periodic table that has the f block as one or do we skip it? So for example, would Osmium be 5d5 or 5d6?

Re: Why can't a particle in a container have zero energy?
I think it's also because the lowest possible energy level is n=1, which by default means that the electron has energy. Also, a particle with no energy means that it s completely motionless, which is impossible.

H-Bar vs h
Can h-bar and h be used interchangeably when using the heisenberg equation and expect to get the same answer either way? The textbook and solution manual both use h-bar, but in class we always use planck's constant divided by 4pi.

Re: Comparison of electron affinity of Nitrogen and Carbon
The reason that nitrogen is more stable than carbon because it has one electron in px, one in py, and one in pz. Carbon has an empty pz, so it has a higher electron affinity because it needs one more electron in the p subshell to make it more stable.

Re: Core vs Valence Electrons
When you say the "s" orbital is filled, are you referring to 1s or 2s? If you are referring to 1s, then yes, that is the core. If you are referring to 2s, then it is the valence. The core electrons are all the electrons that are not in the outer shell. This includes the last noble gas, as ...

Re: lines in electromagnetic spectrum
Usually in the diagram the lines would be labeled on the left side as n=1, n=2, etc. The number corresponds to the energy level that the electron is in or moving to/from. So, for example, if the electron jumps from the first line to the third line, then it is going from the first to the third energy...

I don't think you need to memorize the equations or constants, but I think that you should be very familiar with how to use them and what types of questions to use them in.

However, just because you're using 2 sig figs in your answer, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should use 2 sig figs during your calculations. Two sig figs isn't very precise, so during your calculations you may want to use three or four sig figs, then use only 2 sig figs only when giving your...

Even if you were solving for something other than molarity, if you were given the volume of something in mL you would always want to convert mL to L.
