Re: Change in Entropy (vap) & Order
A greater increase in disorder will indicate more ordered arrangement of the molecules in a liquid state because entropy would increase when a mole of liquid gets turned into gas. so the more entropy increase in the phase changes, then the more ordered the liquid will be.

Re: Phase Changes
I see a lot of people mention q=mCAT but other mention q = mCdeltaT . i personally would say that using the q=mCdeltaT would work bets because i use this equation for some of the problems that are in the homework and it has been working. unless using the q=mCAT would be easier but i have not tried i...

Re: Stable products
If we had a larger equilibrium constant then that would mean that the reaction will favor the products. which means that it would be stable because they will favor the reaction that causes the stable state.

Re: Anode vs Cathode
An anode is when oxidation is occurring. while in order to know if it is a cathode then there will be. reduction happening meaning that we can use the half-reduction (of the reduction) to represent the cathode, while for the anode we would use the oxidation half reduction.

Re: Determining best oxidizing agents
An easy way to know redox potential if is the question tells you what the voltage difference is. you would have to use the potentiometer in order to find the redox potential.

Re: Redox in Acidic or Basic Solution
The difference between the redox in the acidic or basic solution is that you will use H^+ ions to balance the hydrogen and the OH^- will be used to balance the oxygen/hydrogen.

Re: Cannot oxidize with O2 and H2O
Technically we don't need to know the elements that can oxidize O2 and H2O when it comes to rusting. i believe the important thing that we should know is there is or will be a barrier between oxygen, water, and iron

Re: Determining Order of Reducing/Oxidizing Power
The reduction potential is the one with the greatest value of the cathode that is in the equation. If you get a cell diagram the the half reaction that to the left would be the oxidized reaction

Re: Sapling #15 Wk.9-10
For this problem use the arrhenius equation k = Ae^−EaRT where A is the frequency factor 8.07×1011. You should convert the temperature into Kelvin from Celsius, rearrange the equation to kA = e^−EaRT and take the natural log of both sides so that your equation becomes Ea =−RTln(k/A). You can then i...

Re: Spontaneous reactions
Usually the exothermic reaction is spontaneous a way to determine if it is all you can do is just check to see if delta G is negative. If delta G is positive them we can determine and say that it is non-spontaneous

Re: How has everybody been preparing for the final?
I didn't really use the practice problems i used the practice test that were given to us in the review sessions as way to study for the final and looking at conceptual question a little more since seems like conceptual questions have been given a lot more than the actual practice problems

Re: Conditions at Equilibriums
E doesn't equal Enot because E isn't a standard state, while Enot is the standard cell potential, since we know that a standard state doesn't change for a given reaction. So E is dependent on the E = E°-RT/nF (lnQ) equation.

Re: Cell Diagram and Ecell [ENDORSED]
Cathodes have a positive charge while an anode will always have a negative charge. The cathodes are always going to be oxidizing and gaining electrons while the anode is always reducing and releasing the electrons.

Re: Cooling at Constant Volume until a certain pressure is obtained
Hi Ernie! To answer your question in Example 4B.1, the gas is cooled in step 1 so the heat energy (q) of the reaction should technically change. However, the textbook does not include this calculation as we are dealing with an ideal gas, so delta U = 0. Therefore, delta U = q + w, so 0 = q + w, and...

Re: Final Jitters
When it comes to taking final exams I always make sure to do a quick review at least 1 hour before the exam and be confident in what I have studied during the week. Once I get to the place of where the exam is being taken I just take deep breaths, drink water and just try to relax as much as possible.
