In this case I believe having your answer written as <109.5 is fine, my TA usually doesn't require us to be more specific than that unless the problem specifically states such.

Will we be expected to calculate exact dipole moments on the final or will questions be limited to asking us to identify whether the compound is polar or non polar?

Are strong bases always completely ionized in water?

Thanks in advance!

Oxides of Main Group Elements - As discussed, metal oxides react with water to form strong bases. - Many nonmetal oxides react with water to form acids. Carbon Dioxide + Water <—> Carbonic Acid CO2 (g) + H2O (l) <—> H2CO3 (aq) Sulfur Dioxide = Water <—> Sulphurous Acid SO2 (g) + H2O (l) <—> H2SO3 (a...

A photon checks into a hotel and is asked if he needs any help with his luggage. He says, "No, I'm traveling light."

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Did you hear Oxygen went on a date with Potassium?

It went OK.

This post doesn't have a question, just a chart from my TA that might make memorization easier! # of regions of e- density. arrangement of e- densities (bond angles). 2 linear (180) 3 trigonal planar (120) 4 tetrahedral (109.5) 5 trigonal bipyramidal (120, 90) 6 octahedral (90)

Hybridization is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

When using the VSEPR formula, knowing that for E you write the number of electron pairs, what would you write when dealing with a radical? Do you put E 0.5 or is it still E 1?

Thanks in advance!

I believe test 3 covers what we've learned in chapter 3 and those two small sections in chapter 6.

Hope this helps!

Helium walks into a bar.

The bar tender says, "We don't serve noble gasses in here."

Helium doesn't react.

Why is it that the chemical formula for formaldehyde is HCHO and not H2CO?

DomMaiorca_1I

It's pretty much just calculating the ground state in reverse. Knowing that the noble gas is Argon, the metal(s) must come from the fourth period of the periodic table since Argon is located in the third. a) 3d6 tells you there is 6 electrons, but you need to add an additional 3 since the question s...

Are formal energy and formal charge the same thing?

DomMaiorca_1I

My TA did this as well and he said it would be fine to do on a test or quiz since the two dots or the one line are referring to the same two electrons. He actually recommended using lines on the test instead of individual dots because it's a huge time saver if you're dealing with a complicated Lewis...

Finding the formal charge is usually a good indicator for how many resonance structures you'll have. For example, if you calculate the formal charges in PO4^3-, you find that P= +1 and 0= -1. Knowing the formal charges can cancel, and also that there are four times as many O as P, you know you'll ha...

For the midterm, I know the important trends to know are atomic radii, ionic radii, and ionization energy. Are there any other trends I'm forgetting that we should definitely know? And if so, could you explain the trend?

DomMaiorca_1I

Will we need to be able to draw electron configurations for the midterm?

"mole of solute stay the same" implies that even if the concentration of a substance is changed, if the same amount of the original substance is the same then the moles would remain unchanged. in terms of a practical example, if you have a cup of coke and you pour water into it, although t...

To find how much energy is emitted by 5.00mg of sodium atoms, do you have to convert the 5.00mg of sodium to atoms and then multiply by the energy found in part A? Thanks in advance.

(d) What kind of electromagnetic radiation was used?

For part C, I found a wavelength of 8.8. nm but I am unaware exactly how to find which region this falls into.

DomMaiorca_1I

Each line represents a different jump in energy that an electron of an atom could make. The energy difference between these levels is given by the Rydberg formula.

Also, sorry if the -1's throw you off, the superscript button wasn't working correctly, but they're just there for unit notation.

DomMaiorca_1I

This is similar to example G.2. For both a and b, since volume and molarity are given, you just multiply those quantities by the molar mass. (see formulas n = cV and m = nM) First, remember to convert 250 mL to 0.250L a) molar mass CuSO4 = 159.60 g/mol -1 mass of CuSO4 = (0.20mol/L -1) x (0.250L) x ...

In this problem specifically (L.35), the question asks for your answer in kilograms. If the question didn't ask for your answer in kg, it would be okay to leave your answer in grams. If you are ever unsure, you could just write your answer as " 5.09 x 10^5 g Fe or 509 kg Fe ", since it's u...

G.13 To prepare a fertilizer solution, a florist dilutes 1.0L of 0.20M NH4NO3 (aq) by adding 3.0L of water. The florist then adds 100. mL of the diluted solution to each plant. How many moles of nitrogen atoms will each plant receive? I first used M1V1 = M2V2 to find the concentration of diluted NH4...

Sig figs should be enough, but for really small or really large numbers I would use scientific notation to be concise.

DomMaiorca_1I

Micromol and millimol differ by a factor of 1000. Therefore, to go from mol to mmol, divide 1.44umol by 1000 to get 0.0014 mmol.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be completely dissolved.
