If you are asked to draw the most stable Newman Projection of a molecule from, for example, C2-C3 (from left to right), does this mean that the groups on the left of C2 are those on the front of the Newman projections (not behind the circle)? In other words, is the Newman Projection from C3-C2 any d...

Given a reaction profile of any reaction with the y axis corresponding to delta G, would a change in temperature have any effect on the appearance of the reaction profile? I know that increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction by increasing the rate constant (k), but doesn't this just...

In class, we went over the example of CH3-CH2-CH3 and established which hydrogens would be considered to be "equivalent", or, in the same chemical environment. What does it mean to be in the same chemical environment?

I can explain this using the reaction mechanism on page 87 in the course reader with 2-butene. Looking at HBr, the hydrogen has a slightly positive charge whereas the bromine is slightly negative. Next, looking at 2-butene, the pi-bond in the double-bond is a region of electron density so we would c...

Does the limiting reactant of a reaction have any effect on the rate of the reaction, or does it simply tell you about the amount of product that is formed?

When given a reaction inside of a bomb calorimeter and determining the enthalpy change in the surroundings, how do you know when to include the calorimeter in the surroundings and when to just establish the surroundings as the solution within the calorimeter?

Do diatomic molecules such as hydrogen gas or molecules such as carbon dioxide have residual entropy? In other words, is switching the positions of the carbons attached to the oxygen or the positions of the two hydrogens in hydrogen gas considered to be a different "arrangement"?

In this chapter, rather than using whole number coefficients, we have been using a lot of fractions. I was wondering if there is a general step-by-step process of balancing equations this way. Sometimes I do not know which compound receives the fraction coefficient and which compounds have whole num...

You have the right formula for the change in internal energy. Whenever you are given a bomb calorimeter, however, this implies that the volume is fixed. In order for work to be done, there must be a change in volume. Therefor, no work is done and w=0.

8.53 gives a chemical reaction, total heat capacity, and the change in temperature for the reaction. Part b) of this problem asks you to find the change in internal energy for 1.40 g of a reactant after calculating the change in internal energy for 1 mole. In the solutions manual, they convert from ...

I understand that a wave-function squared gives the probability of finding an electron in an atom, but what exactly do the different points on the wave itself convey? For example, if I were to look at the area between the nucleus and n=1, what would the peak of the wave-function be and what would th...

To be degenerate means to have the same amount of energy. For one electron atoms, all orbitals of the same principal quantum number will have the same amount of energy. This means that in Hydrogen, for example, a 4s orbital and a 4p orbital are degenerate, or, have the same amount of energy. However...

This is a question from the online module: A metal must absorb radiation w/minimum frequency of 1.09 x10^15 s^-1 before it can emit an electron from its surface. Part A asks, "what is the minimum energy needed to produce this effect". I calculated the threshold energy and got 7.22 x 10^-19...
