The bronsted acid donates the H+; while the lewis acid accepts a lone pair.

You need to use the formula M1V1=M2V2 to get the new concentration of KOH, which also equals to the concentration of OH- because KOH is a strong base.

Strong acid or base can disassociate completely, which means there will only be one arrow toward the right.

Because 25 degrees C is the room temperature. If the temperature increase, the Kw will increase as well.

I think you are talking about the Ka value for Ch3COOH. Those numbers are called acidity constants at 25 c, which are given on page 477 table 12.1.

In question 11.14 it asks us to write the reaction quotient for NCl3(g) + 3H2O(l) ---- NH3(g) +3HOCl(aq). Should we calculate the kc or kp for this question?

The formula of Q and K are the same, but they have different meanings.

Yizhou Liu 3L

They're the same. They occur when lone pairs have more repulsive force than do shared electron pairs.

A polar molecule forms when an atom of high electronegativity bonds with a less electronegative atom. Conversely, the electrons of a non-polar molecule are distributed more equally.

ClO4^1- is a good example that Cl has expanded valence shell. If you put Cl as the central atom and connect it with O using single bond, you'll see the formal charge of Cl is +3 and O is -1. However, if you consider it as three double bonds and one single bond, the formal charge of Cl will be 0 and ...

Not always. For those simple Lewis structures such as CH4 and NH3, we know that the formal charge would be 0 and there's only single bond in those molecules. However, for those exceptions to octet rule, such as SO4^2- and ClO4^1-, you need to calculate the formal charge because they have expanded va...

When you draw a Lewis dot structure, you can either use two dots or a line between two atoms to represent a chemical bond. If there are two lines or four dots between two atoms, you'll know it's a double bond.

Yizhou Liu 3L

Two (NH4)+ and one (SO4)2- can bond together by ionic bond and form (NH4)2SO4. When you draw the Lewis Dot structure, make sure to put the (NH4)+ on the left and (SO4)2- on the right.

We know that E=pv and p=mv, which means total energy should equal to mv^2. In the photoelectric experiment, we also know that E=work function+(mv^2)/2. However, work function doesn't equal to (mv^2/2), which means this equation is wrong. Does anyone know where I get wrong? Thank you.

In the equation λ=h/mv, v represents the velocity of any particle with momentum; while in the equation λ=c/v, c is a constant number represents the speed of light, which means this equation is only used for photon.

Yizhou Liu 3L

When frequency decreases, wavelength will increase because the speed of light is constant.

Yizhou Liu 3L

First, you should remember the formula E=hv, where v stands for frequency and h is a constant number. Also, we know that ν = c/λ. If you plug ν = c/λ into the equation E=hv, you'll get E=hc/λ. In some questions they only give you the wavelength instead of the frequency, that's when you can apply thi...

Yes. Also, there's an easy way to do it. Each hydrocarbon in this problem has two carbons, which means the numerators are the same. So you can just compare the denominator by calculating the mass of H2，H2OH and H16.

Yizhou Liu 3L

Yes. Nitrogen can only maintain in a liquid state at extremely low temperature or extremely high pressure. Its boiling point is 77K under atmospheric pressure, which means in most cases it is gaseous.
