Re: electrochemistry HW

KClO3 K is in group 1 of the periodic table so ON = +1 O always has an ON = -2 except in peroxides when it is -1 Cl can have variable ONs so we must figure it out. If K is +1 and O is -2, and there are 3 oxygens, we have +1 and -6. That's a net of -5. So Cl must be +5 in order for KClO3 to be neutra...

Re: ACHIEVE q 20

Dr. Lavelle said in a lecture that in 14b we should not be worried about A in the Arrhenius Equation being k=Ae^−Ea/RT. In case it does show up, we can assume that A=1. For question number 20, we do indeed cancel the A out though.

Re: n and lnQ doubled in redox reaction

Looking at the Ernest question ( E= E(knot) - (RT/nF)lnQ. If the redox reaction is doubled, the n and ln(Q) are also doubled because of the fact that Q becomes squared. This is because we have to understand that from doubling the redox reaction, Q is no longer equal to [P]/ [R] but, equal to [P]^2/ ...

Re: Isothermal

Not entirely, an isothermal process is when the temperature of the whole system does not change throughout the reaction. An example of this could be a ice cube melting in a system with a constant temperature of 0 degrees.
