Re: writing rate laws: "rate"or "d[A]/dt?"
I think it's the same, but we've just been writing rate.

Re: Nernst Equation and pH
Use Nernst to find K, and then solve the equilibrium expression for concentration and then pH.

Re: Test 2 help!
you have to take K and set up the expression and then use it to solve for pH.

Re: Final
I think that since the TAs do the grading they are more lenient on sig figs, but units are very important.
