Cp is basically constant pressure by molar heat capacity and Cv is the constant volume by molar heat capacity.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes definitely use your units while you are making calculations for your work! I also believe that the questions would ask you if you need specific units. I could say "how many moles of..." etc etc.

Sara Dolmo 2J

When I think about exothermic, EXO reminds me that energy is being released from the system. It reminds me of the word exist. Because of this endothermic (ENDO) is basically the opposite, energy is being released from the system, which means the surroundings are absorbing it. Thinking like this help...

Sara Dolmo 2J

These explanations are really helpful thats so much!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yeah, I think this method is good! It helps to memorize them because when they pop up on the test, it would be easier to call them.

Sara Dolmo 2J

wow this is very inspiring!!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Heyyy! I feel you, I struggle with managing school and work and extracurriculars too!! I have tried my best to communicate with others about my availability and try my best to plan out my days and schedule everything like times when I study, eat, work, go to club events, time with friends, etc etc.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Jolly ranchers and mike and ikes are amazing!!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Hey! Does anyone have any good coffee shops (or other places) they like to go study at? I get nervous trying new places because I don't know if the wifi will be good enough to do work, etc, so I thought I'd ask here:) Thanks! This is in close proximity to a coffee shop, but not exactly in there, bu...

Sara Dolmo 2J

My favorite food would have to be terriyaki bowls!! I always get steak

Sara Dolmo 2J

Ill try my best to attend those sessions! thanks for the recommendation!

Sara Dolmo 2J

There are many videos on youtube that help with chemistry topics and they even give example questions!

Sara Dolmo 2J

AAP Peer Learning Facilitators are excellent and extremely helpful!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I think you should delete it and redownload it

Sara Dolmo 2J

A closed system is a system that allows energy to transfer in or out of it. The only thing is that matter cannot transfer.

Sara Dolmo 2J

i think he means that we should be able to manipulate the equation to find either pressure, volume or temperature when we need to.

Sara Dolmo 2J

when it is going from reactants to products, the rate has to be negative because that's when products are formed.

Sara Dolmo 2J

the value for A is usually given. It is the frequency factor, but if it is not given we can assume that it is equal to 1

Sara Dolmo 2J

Some activities you can try are going to the beach with some of your friends! if you would like to go alone too just to walk around the stores, that's nice too. Also there are a lot of interesting places in Westwood that could be fun and if u want u can watch a movie too.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Bjs is really good!

Sara Dolmo 2J

For this homework problem, I used the Nernst equation E = Eº - 0.0592/n logQ. You find Q by dividing the new concentration and partial pressure values. Then you add the information that you found into the equation to find your answer.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I believe it depends on the context of the question. It usually gives you a hint to show if you will use it or not.

Sara Dolmo 2J

For this, you would have to use the coefficients to calculate the value for K.

Sara Dolmo 2J

i think all the options given were state functions and the question was about the ones that are not state functions.

Sara Dolmo 2J

There will be 15 questions just like midterm 1

Sara Dolmo 2J

I usually use PLF sessions for tutoring. They are a good resource and it helps to get to know others in AAP and in your class. You can then ask them for help and plan study sessions if you need it.

Sara Dolmo 2J

wow these are really interesting!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Being online is definitely draining! I tend to make sure I take a break away from my computer especially if I've been on it all day. Maybe try an hour in the middle of the day to get off the computer and then and then get off once it's too late to get some good rest at night before opening ur comput...

Sara Dolmo 2J

Some snacks i like are Takis, and Hot lays.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I usually try to listen to music and go out for a walk around campus

Sara Dolmo 2J

I usually do both. I'm usually an early person so if I am on campus early then I would go to the lecture, but if there are days where you are not comfortable going or prefer to be in your room then you can use the online route. It is also important to know the best way you can receive the information.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I think it depends. I know that some of the Step Up session worksheets are on here, you just need to search the name of the person running them. Not all of them are on here tho. I would ask them during the session in order to make sure.

Sara Dolmo 2J

If you go scroll all the way to the bottom, there should be a part where it says "Back Matter and then you choose the option "Old-Numbered Exercises". Then you will scroll down to the answer you are specifically looking for.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yeah! so it is 5 posts per week and I'm pretty sure the posts will be counted at the end of the quarter because it is connected to your UID.

Sara Dolmo 2J

My favorite food would have to be chicken/beef soup! In my family, even if it's hot outside, we would have soup because of how easy it is to make and how delicious it is with the different vegetables we add to it.

Sara Dolmo 2J

When I experience burnout, I usually choose a day out of the week (preferably on the weekends) and I would reflect on how I am feeling mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. I would just spend a lot of time by myself and relax.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Another good movie to watch is A Silent Place! it has a lot of jumpscares so that may be a deal-breaker for some, but it is still a very good and emotional movie to watch.

Sara Dolmo 2J

My go-to movie would be Maze runner! Honestly, I love all of them and the last movie made me cry so bad lolll but yeah! Another movie would probably be Encanto, i can relate to it so much, and it's just a good movie to watch!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I plan on taking chem 14BL either next quarter or in the summer, and then taking 14C in the fall.

Sara Dolmo 2J

The UA workshops have been very useful and it has been a safe place for me to ask questions on things that i am confused on!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Happy Valentines Day!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I like to listen to Maverick City Music!

Sara Dolmo 2J

yes!! it helps me process my thoughts and helps me remember what value belongs to what and the process on how it changes.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I would try looking at videos on youtube to review and get extra practice. I usually watch Organic Chemistry Tutor and I try the practice problems he has in his videos as well.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I would suggest going over the homework problems we received and the textbook problems. if you are ever confused, there are step-up sessions and TA office hours that are always there for us.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Wow I've been in the dorms for a while and I still haven't explored Westwood, will definitely be trying these places! thank you guys!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Im interested!

Sara Dolmo 2J

temperature can affect the equilibrium constant.

Sara Dolmo 2J

G knot means it is in standard conditions and regular G is not

Sara Dolmo 2J

yes the midterm will be on Wednesday, February 2nd, from 6-7pm

Sara Dolmo 2J

yes the midterm will be on Wednesday, February 2nd, from 6-7pm

Sara Dolmo 2J

State functions/ property doesn't depend on the path taken but the path function is the opposite and it does depend on the path taken

Sara Dolmo 2J

thank you for sharing these!!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Because an endothermic reaction means that energy is required to break bonds, melting(fusion) is a great example of that. As things melt, the heat will break molecules and the atoms will move around faster and farther apart.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I think we will be given the units interchangeably, and then it will be up to us to convert them into what the problem is asking for. If it is asking for Kelvin and we are given the celsius, we would [censored] 273 to the Celsius given value.

Sara Dolmo 2J

If we are in person by week 5, it will most likely be in the lecture hall like last quarter, but if given the option, it will probably be on zoom with a TA watching us I think.

Sara Dolmo 2J

practice problems!!

Sara Dolmo 2J

The practice assignments are optional I think and the only one that was due is the week one chemical equilibrium one due Sunday night for credit

Sara Dolmo 2J

Both m/L^-1 and are the same, they are usually units for concentration

Sara Dolmo 2J

The first midterm is going to be on February 2nd

Sara Dolmo 2J

R is going to be the same! the only thing that would make it change is the units

Sara Dolmo 2J

no, i don't think so

Sara Dolmo 2J

There is no curve but in order to pass the class you will need to get a 50% or higher

Sara Dolmo 2J

It's okay! It's normal to feel overwhelmed but honestly make sure you do things that you really enjoy! Make sure to always do something that makes you happy at least once a day because, at the end of the day, it is important that you are okay! I usually listen to music, read, or get some fresh air a...

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes, they will be solved the same way because you are finding the equilibrium constant still, the only difference is that it's either for partial pressure or concentration.

Sara Dolmo 2J

at the end of the day, your first account is linked with your UID so at the end it will be calculated by your UID

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes, it is going to be cumulative! I would review hw, lectures, communicate with TAs about confusing topics, and have study sessions/quizzes alone and with friends to gain more understanding!

Sara Dolmo 2J

My thanksgiving break was pretty good! I got to spend time with family and friends, cooking a lot of food lolll, and talking to them about my college experience.

Sara Dolmo 2J

as you should!!! I will definitely use ur study methods to help me prepare for the final!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I would say try multiple practice problems, and watch youtube videos that give u practice problems because they walk you through each step! i have also been studying with friends and asking them for help when I am confused about a specific step or problem.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I think I will be taking it in person since I live on campus, it makes it easier since I can go home after, for winter break, because the rest of my finals are online.

Sara Dolmo 2J

yes, I'm honestly worried too and although we need a 50% in the class to pass, I still worry about what my final grade will be. I calculated what my final grade would be according to the syllabus so that should help with trying to see what your final grade would be.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Doing multiple practice problems usually helped me to memorize a lot of the formulas! I would also try flash cards and or quizzing myself with friends so help me memorize formulas.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I would love to join a study group as well, so if you are interested send me a message!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Oragnic chemistry tutor and Melissa Maribel are really good Youtubers that i watch to help with chemistry.

Sara Dolmo 2J

For winter break, I will be home with family! My brother is coming into town from North Carolina after a long time of not seeing him because he joined the marines. Im so excited to hang out with him and other family members!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I'm doing alright, honestly kind of nervous because of finals but this break is helping me to stay calm and practice a little bit of self-care before then. I could be better loll but I'm good.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes! this happened to me and I was enrolled in the class in 1-2 weeks so it should work for you too.

Sara Dolmo 2J

My favorite food has to be empanadas or any Latin food! My favorite snack has to be hot fries, mike and ikes, or jolly ranchers for sure!

Sara Dolmo 2J

If you. plan to take those core classes, remember to plan out these classes and your study times. Most importantly, make sure you have time to relax and take care of yourself.

Sara Dolmo 2J

To relax I usually go on tik tok, call a close family member or friend. I also like to spend time alone and outside if I ever need to remove myself from a specific environment.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Under your user name, on the right side of your post, it shows the number of posts you have. That is the number of times you have posted on the chemistry community.

Sara Dolmo 2J

LOLL thank you for this!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I saw my results for the midterm last night! I am thankful to [censored] for keeping me safe this year, my family for supporting me during my college journey, and for my friends always believing in me and helping me.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes because sigma bonds are harder to break than pi bonds

Sara Dolmo 2J

Pi bonds are in double bonds(1 pi bond) and triple bonds(2 pi bonds)

Sara Dolmo 2J

A represents the central atom
X represents the bonded pairs
E represents the lone pairs

Sara Dolmo 2J

I sometimes read the textbook to gain a little. bit more understanding of topics we learn in class.

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yes, 50% refers to the overall grade in the class.

Sara Dolmo 2J

To stay motivated, I make sure to plan out my day every morning, especially when it comes to studying. I try to give myself a specific time to study and give myself breaks in between to avoid burnout. For me, It really helps to study with others in the same class and work through practice problems a...

Sara Dolmo 2J

On the midterm 2 worksheet, on the class website, it said we were only allowed to use the periodic table and constants and equations worksheet.

Sara Dolmo 2J

They are not mandatory but during discussions sessions, you can go over problems that keep you stuck and get assistance with concepts you do not understand.

Sara Dolmo 2J

yes I belive we are

Sara Dolmo 2J

I like to listen to Worship music and afro beats! I also love Latin music such as bachata, reggaeton, cumbia, etc.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I think it is necessary when asked to find the most stable structure between resonance.

Sara Dolmo 2J

On youtube, you can find lofi beats! That is usually what I use when I want to listen to music without words because I tend to get distracted. It always ends with me having a karaoke session with myself.

Sara Dolmo 2J

I am doing better! Because this is the first year back after a pandemic the transition was difficult but it is honestly getting better day by day!

Sara Dolmo 2J

Yesss!!! I had the same question and I was told it was fine and to make them up quickly because they can add up!

Sara Dolmo 2J

I do not celebrate Halloween lol

Sara Dolmo 2J

Happy Birthday, Dr. Lavelle!
