Re: Creating Cell Diagrams

adding onto this, does the order of X/Y have any significance in determining if species X and Y are being oxidized or reduced?

Re: Homework Problem 8.21

I think the equation goes (Tf-Ti) so for the Copper side it should be (T-100), because both the water and Copper should have the same final temperature at equilibrium. This will yield the 24.8 degrees C.

Re: Intermediates

To be an intermediate, the species just needs to cancel out within the set of reaction steps given. Reaction coefficients are also important when checking to see if things cancel out!

Temperature stays constant during a phase change because the heat energy is being used to change the state of the reactant instead of raising the temperature.

Re: Steam burning more than water question

I think steam burns more than liquid water because when steam hits the skin it undergoes a phase change (to liquid) which releases a ton of energy into the skin.
