I think the questions are going to ask us to identify functional groups within huge carbon chains.

Assuming delta H is postive,
The temperature is high enough it could overcome a positive delta H and make delta G negative (thus a spontaneous reaction). But if temperature is low it doesn't matter if you have a positive delta S, the reaction is not spontaneous.

If the substance shows up in the products and isnt cancelled out later by a reactant, then it can not be an intermediate.

the slow step itself makes up the rate law because it is rate determining step. In other words you could only go as fast as your slowest step. If the first step is your slow step then that is the rate law. But if the slow step is your second or third step in the reaction you have to include the rate...

Another perspective to take on intermediates, is that are not present in the reactants of the first step and the products of the last step. Therefore Intermediates are produced by an elementary reaction but consumed in another one.

It was covered in class, so there its likely.

When writing out the rate law equation, the exponents are the orders of the reaction. Therefore, the coefficient doesn't have an effect on the value of the of the exponents.

If we are combining redox reductions and it has to be in basic solution, does the final answer have to include (OH-)?
I am asking this because the solutions manual for 14.5 part a does not have (OH-) in its final answer

There is no need to convert ln into log, and this could cause an answer to be wrong if you ever need to get rid of ln. Since e^ln cancels out smoothly the finding the reaction constant or time is made easier. In short, stick with ln

Since the universe contains everything by definition, and thus there can be no exchange of energy or matter with anything, thus the Universe is an isolated system.

I think the conservation of energy is another name to the first law so they are the same.

I make bad chemistry puns, but only periodically.

Q: What was the charge when NaCl was arrested?

A:Salt.

We use 5/2*R because the question says that the volume is changed from 3L to .5L so the reaction does not take place under constant volume. It does however take place under constant pressure.

Cp=5/2*R

Cv=3/2*R

The 2nd law of thermodynamics relates entropy change to heat and temperature. For example if you connected two rooms that are at different temperatures, the temperature of the two rooms will reach an equilibrium

To findthe degeneracy, you need to the formula W= number of states^(number of molecules)

I think the solution manual has a mistake in when calculating the enthalpy of formation, because i notice that the enthalpy for HCL was used twice in their equation.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

Adding to the post above, another way to think about is that heat is created by the movement of particles. Thus as the temperature reaches closer to 0 kelvin, this absolutely no movement, thus we have exactly no entropy.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

In short, this problem requires two steps, the first step is calculating how much heat is needed to melt the ice at 0c, basically asking you to calculate the phase change with 80grams of ice (DeltaH=n(6.01kj*mol). The second part is calculating a change in temperature with the 80g of liquid water wh...

Another aspect of work to note is that work is not a state meaning that its value depends on the path taken. A quick example of this would be pushing a ball 100ft on a flat surface would require less work on the system than pushing that same ball uphill for a 100ft.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

You use Cv when the reaction is going under a constant Volume (isometric) and Cp when the pressure is not changing in the reaction (isobaric).

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

I think you assume ideal gases, which is why we use Pv=nRT. Also in ideal gases tempature is always 25 degrees celsius or 298 kelvin

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

Adding on the previous reply, work can only occur in a change in volume in the system, that is why in a bomb calorimeter work is always zero. A few examples that would cause a work change is a piston changing the volume of the system or pushing a box around a room. Another aspect of work is that it ...

Changing a gas to liquid is an exothermic reaction and therefore the enthalpy is negative. In other words, the system which is the gas itself is losing energy to the surrounding this cooling can be seen in the physical change to a liquid.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

The heat is simply being use to get the substance through its phase change. After the phase change is completed then any addition of heat will result in higher temperature, until of course another phase change is begun and completed.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

Technically we could use Hess law to connect hundreds of equations, but I don't think we are going to see that in our problems because it would pointless since 2-4 equations shows that we know the concepts associated with Hess's law.

Oscar Valdovinos 1I

We use bomb a calorimeter to measure the change in Enthalpy at a constant volume (gas or solution). A coffee cup Calorimeter is used to measure the change in heat at a constant pressure (solution only).
