Re: Work in a System

Also in Free Expansion, w is equal to 0. In this case, deltaH will also be equal to H.

Re: Slopes of a plot

Zero Order also has a negative slope. Think of the equations as mx+b. The Slope (mx) is similar to kt in the order process formulas.

Re: delta h and q

delta h is related to q when work is not involved and there is a constant pressure.

For C, I believe its true because a catalyst just lowers the activation energy but it does not change the pathway.

What does it mean when ATP hydrolysis is coupled with an element? do you divide the element's gibbs free energy by th ATP's gibbs free energy to get how many molecules are used of ATP?

Re: heating curves

Typically, we interchange between two reactions for heating curves:
1. q=mc*deltaT (within a phase)
2. q= n*deltah (the change from one phase to another)

Re: Van't Hoff Equation

According to Lavelle's lecture the Van't Hoff equation "can be used to calculate k [equilibrium] at a different temperature if delta H is known."
The equation is lnk=(-delta h/RT) + (delta S/R). The Detla H and S are both in standard state.

Cp means constant pressure and Cv means constant volume. They are both associated with molar heat capacity of an ideal gas. Cv=(3/2)(R) and Cp=(5/2)R. R is 8.314J/mol*k

Re: Steam vs. Boiled Water

A heat curve demonstrates that steam has higher heat energy. Even though both vapor and boiling water may have the same temp, additional heat energy is required for the phase change to occur (vaporization). Therefore steam would burn more.

For Hess' law, think of it as manipulating equations in order to add up their delta H's. Here is a link to a video that explains it way better than me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q2u5sj4V00.

Re: Help on 12.45

Since acids and bases follow the conjugate seesaw, I believe that the strongest conjugate acid will tie to the weakest base. I suggest first writing the conjugate acids in increasing order. Then the reverse pattern will tell you the increasing strength of its bases.
