Re: Solving for Q when given molarity and partial pressure
Both partial pressures and concentrations can only be entered into Q when the concentration is in M and partial pressure is in bars. You can use expression equating Kc and Kp to understand why this is possible. so for a question like this: Hg2Cl2(s) + 2e- -> 2Hg(l) + 2Cl-(aq) Enaught = +0.27V 2H+(a...

I think a good way to start is to create a graph if you are given a chemical equation and different experimental data.
like this one.
Then, you use the data (like we did in class) to determine the reaction order of each reactant.

It doesnt matter which is on the reactant or product side. If Fe3O4 was on the product side (6FeO3 --> 4 Fe3O4 + O2), the delta G would be +391.6 kJ/mol, thus it would mean the formation of Fe3O4 would not be spontaneous and the reaction would favor the reactants (Fe2O3).

Test 3 [ENDORSED]
Hi will test 3 have Heisenberg’s indeterminacy equation and Schrodinger's equation? or will Test 3 just have Lewis Structures? Thanks!

Re: H Equation [ENDORSED]
I believe in the lecture Lavelle said that the equations given were for Hydrogen atoms. I do not know if we need to know equations for other elements

Re: Understanding the Rydberg Formula [ENDORSED]
I am also confused about the reason of the negative symbol in the equation.

Re: Color at the Quantum Level [ENDORSED]
Each color has a specific wavelength. Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them. I do not think color has to do with the "excess" energy leftover when an electron moves up an energy level.

Re: Exercise E35
Someone in my Discussion asked this question and my TA said that the equation for percent change is dividing by the original value. I believe the book had it wrong.

Re: Sig Figs
If it was .5060 and you wrote it in scientific notation, It would be 5.060 x 10^-1 so would there be 3 or 4 sig figs? There would be 4 sig figs in .5060 or 5.060 x 10^-1 because the numbers "5" and "6" sandwich the zero in between them, thus making the first zero significant. fo...

Re: Sig Figs
I believe 460 has two sig figs because the zero is just a place holder and the period after "898." is supposed to be a decimal point. I think they are mainly used to say that a zero is significant.
