Re: Anode and Xathod
on the left side, oxidation is taking place at the anode- so the rod itself is giving off electrons which then travel to the right side, the cathode to binds with free floating molecules waiting to be reduced.

Re: salt bridge
the salt bridge is needed to maintain the charge balance of the two solutions as the electrons move from the anode to cathode, it leaves the left-side solution positively charged, therefore the ions from the salt bridge enters to to stabilize the charge difference

Re: heat given off by rxn = - heat absorbed by solution
I don't think it is important to memorize that equation. As long as you understand that losing heat is neg and absorbing is pos. and the amount of energy lost/gain by the system is equal to the amount gain/lost by the surrounding.

Re: Meaning of equilibrium constant
When K is between 10^-3 and 10^3, it means that neither the reactants nor the products are favored when the reaction is in equilibrium. You can't necessarily tell which side of the equilibrium has more in concentrations.

Re: Ideal Gases
Although gases are never perfectly "ideal". We assume most of the time that gases are ideal because at higher temperature and lower pressure there are not a significant intermolecular forces between the gas molecules. This assumption allows for calculations of other properties of the gases.
