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.

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)
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.

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.
