Re: 13.103
yeah for this one thats not the case- because reversing it gives you a negative number

Re: 3/2
I know that part. But for only some questions do people put it in. like for entropy- only sometimes is 3/2 put in. Is it only when we have two temperatures that we are given? because when we are given two volumes- they never put 3/2R

balance redox reaction that occurs in acid
Cr2O7^2- + H2(g) - Cr^3+ (aq)
i understand that you need to add H+
but when you balance how do you know what coefficient to put in front of the H2 and how many to put in front of the H+, because they are both H's

work done on the system is positive.it is usually a gas doing a work on the system. but work done by the system would be negative work.
