Yes, they are the same thing. Both are different from concentration cells.

I believe the Ecell doesn't change. Wasn't there a similar problem on test#2? I wasn't able to get my test back so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Awww! This is so sweet <3 Thank you for all that you guys do

You'll find that intermediates are the product of the first reaction step and then the reactant of the second reaction step - that is why it's called an intermediate because it ties the two steps together for the overall reaction. For a catalyst, it appears as a reactant and is not consumed in the r...

I believe their worksheet is under "Endgame". I don't think they've posted the answer key yet though.

Due to Emily Carter's new email about UCLA switching to online classes, will our final be a take home final or do we still need to be present on campus on Sunday to take the Chem 14B final? I just wanted to confirm. Thanks!!

How do you know if a step is slow or fast in a reaction mechanism?

ELu 1J

If something has oxidizing power, it itself is being reduced. If something has HIGH oxidizing power, the potential for itself to be reduced is also HIGH. Therefore, it's standard reduction potential is high.

ELu 1J

The difference between the three reactions is essentially the varying number of molecules needed to collide and react with each other for the reaction to proceed. You can calculate whether a reaction is 1st, 2nd, or 0th order by determining the orders of the individual reactants themselves, which ca...

If a substance is going from Fe3+ to Fe2+, you know it gained 1 electron because the charge/oxidation # went up by 1. Then you balance the two half reactions to make sure both transfer the same amount of electrons.

ELu 1J

Reducing power is like the ability to give away electrons. A stronger reducing agent with stronger reducing power is more likely to give an electron to another compound.

ELu 1J

Standard electric potential is the electric potential of a galvanic cell measured under standard conditions. How to calculate: E(cell) = E(cathode) - E(anode). You can get E(cathode) and E(anode) from the half reactions that happen at the cathode and anode.

ELu 1J

Are you made up of 12 protons? Because you're sodium fine

ELu 1J

I believe because of the positive electric potential and also the salt bridge.

I don't think it's under the objectives in outline 5 so no.

ELu 1J

For this week, since Dr. Lavelle just finished going over electrochemistry today, do we complete homework problems from outline #5 or outline #6? Thanks!

ELu 1J

I was just wondering if Dr. Lavelle has curved exams in the past or just giving the class an additional 10 points at the end of the quarter? Does anyone know his pattern of curving? Thanks :)

Instead of "LOL", Helium atoms text "HeHe" instead :)

Atom A said, "I lost an electron"
Atom B asked, "Are you sure?"
Atom A said "Yeah, I'm positive"
Atom B said, "Well, you better keep an ion (eye on) them"

A man was frozen to absolute zero. But don't worry - he's 0K now :D

Lyndron Bui and Michael Zalgari's sessions are helpful!

Dr. Lavelle said midterm grades would be coming out today (Tuesday, 2/18). Does anyone see their grade on myUCLA yet or is it posted somewhere else? Thanks!

ELu 1J

For the ratio fo T2/T1 in the ln for the entropy change equation, do they always have to be in kelvin or can the ratio be in celsius as well? I noticed a discrepancy in this. Thanks!

ELu 1J

I just wanted to double check that a TI-30XIIS calculator is okay for the midterm? It isn't able to graph or record information. Thanks!

Standard free energy is measured in a lab under standard conditions (usually is denoted with a degree symbol). Delta G can be measured in a situation that isn't in standard conditions like in a biological system. So would we need to know anything more than just the sources of error/ comparison betw...

Is the Sunday review session only for going over the practice questions and then the one on Monday is content-based review?

ELu 1J

Are you only going over the answers at the Sunday review session or the Monday one as well? Thank you so much :)))

ELu 1J

I like to take a blank piece of printer paper and write down equations based on category. Also, for internal energy = heat + work, it's helpful for me to work out when there is constant volume, delta V = 0 and thus there is no work done so internal energy = work instead of simply memorizing internal...

C = 3/2R at constant volume and C = 5/2R at constant pressure.

A reversible system is usually one where the reactants and products fluctuate slowly to reach equilibrium.

The equation to calculate degeneracy is W = x^n where x = # of states (in this case is 2) and n = # of particles (in this case is 3). Therefore, w = 2^3 = 8.

ELu 1J

For Week 5's homework, do we do problems from outline #4 again?

ELu 1J

What material is going to be covered for the midterm? Are there usually review sessions beforehand that are taught by Dr. Lavelle or the TAs?

ELu 1J

When you have conversion factors in your calculations, do you also take the sig figs of those numbers into account? For example, 1L = 1000mL, would you take the sig figs into account when calculating the rest of the problem? Thanks!

ELu 1J

Just wanted to comment so I can follow this post :)

ELu 1J

You always have to convert between kelvins and celsius. It's better to do K = 273.15 + C because it is more exact.

ELu 1J

Thank you all for so many helpful suggestions! I will definitely start looking into going to the UA sessions because I forgot those existed :)

The ability to accept and donate a proton is amphiprotic, while amphoteric is the ability to react with both acids and bases. :)

Oh my bad - thank you for the correction :)

ELu 1J

Hi, here's a question for those who have had Lavelle previously: what method of studying for exams did you find most effective? Doing all of the assigned textbook problems or sapling problems or other things? Thanks for sharing :)

ELu 1J

Yes, because the context of the problem is moles, that is what leads you to calculate Kc instead of Kp even though all substances are in gas phase.

ELu 1J

Where can you view modules?

ELu 1J

I think you just have to memorize that if delta H is negative, the reaction is exothermic and if delta H is positive, the reaction is endothermic.

ELu 1J

I've heard someone explain it like this before: think of heat as either another reactant or product. If the reaction is endothermic, the system absorbs heat and heat is considered a reactant. Say you heat up the system, you're adding heat (a "reactant"), which means the reaction will favor...

I was wondering if Dr. Lavelle's lectures are bruincasted and if so, where may I find them? Thanks!

ELu 1J

I thought it was graded based on the correctness of our 5 problems we turned in.

I think he was talking about how if the pressure is increased for a particular reaction, it isn't an adequate explanation to say that it will cause a shift to the right because there are more moles of reactants than products. Instead, the correct explanation would be that an increase in pressure wou...

ELu 1J

I think the purpose is just based on the context of the problem. The problem could give the initial concentration of a gas but then ask you to find the partial pressure at equilibrium or something that requires you to be able to convert one to another when the substance is a gas.

ELu 1J

5G.1 State whether the following statements are true or false. If false, explain why. (b) An equilibrium reaction is not affected by increasing the concentrations of products. I just wanted to clarify that the statement is saying that the concentration of the products is increased AFTER the reaction...
