Re: given Ecell
Eº cell is the standard state cell potential, which means that the value was determined under standard states which include a concentration of 1 Molar (mole per liter) and an atmospheric pressure of 1.

Re: Standard cell potential and equilibrium
For a general reaction of the type aA + bB → cC + dD, the standard free-energy change and the equilibrium constant are related by the following equation: ΔG° = −RT lnK. Given the relationship between the standard free-energy change and the standard cell potential: ΔG° = −nFE°cell, we can write: −nFE...

Re: pre-equilibrium question
Find K for the first fast step, If the fast step is after the slow step, (ie. fast, slow, fast) you can ignore the second fast step completely because steps that follow the rate determining step take place as soon as the intermediate has been formed and have a negligible effect on the overall rate

Re: dipole
Dipole moments can exist where polarity does not if they cancel each other out due to molecular geometry in a polyatomic molecule. For example CO2. The oxygen is more electronegative, but the C-O bonds are Both linear so they cancel each other out. If you have version 7 of the textbook there is a ch...

Re: Nonmetals?
Yes nonmetals are more electronegative than metals and this does have to do with their placement on the periodic table in that electronegativity increases up a group and left to right across a period. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. E...

Not exactly. A pi bond has two electrons that lie on two lobes, one on each side of the internuclear axis, but is still only one bond. P-orbitals in a pi bond overlap in a side by side fashion. A sigma bond results from end-to end overlap (consequently because of this a sigma bond is stronger than a...

The molecule is linear, but since nitrogen is the least electronegative, it is the central atom. So the molecules are lined up N-N-O. Oxygen is much more electronegative than nitrogen making the molecule negatively charged on the oxygen side and therefore polar. Why is it lined up that way though. ...
