textbook number 15.29??
Why do we calculate the concentration of A at 3 min by :
[A]t= [A]knot - (1molA/3 mol B) * [B]t ???
and then to determine the rate constant, why is the equation k= ln ([A]knot/[A]t)/t ...i thought it was ln([A]t/[Aknot]) instead?
Thanks

In this problem they give you:
(a) Co 2+/Co and Ti 3+/Ti 2+
When you're writing the cell diagram, how do you know what the phases of each substance are since they don't give them to you in the problem?

I'm confused as to why you multiply the reduction half rxn by 4? 4[Cl2 (g) + 2e- --> 2 Cl- (aq)] 1[S2O3 2- (aq) + 5H20(l) --> 2SO4 2-(aq) + 10H+(aq) + 8 e-] if you're supposed to have an equal number of electrons for both half reactions, aren't the amounts already equal without multiplying the first...

How do you know the Oxidation number??
For example, in the book on page 564 it's balancing a redox equation in acidic solution, and the equation is: MnO4- (aq)+ H2C2O4(aq)--> Mn2+(aq) + CO2(g) and it says identify species being reduced: MnO4- --> Mn2+ and it says the oxidation number of Mn decreases from +7 to +2, so the Mn in the MNO4- ...

Change in internal energy under constant temperature
If a system has a constant temperature and you're trying to calculate the change in internal energy, do you ALWAYS use the equation:
Delta U= 3/2*k*T ???
THanks!
Delta U= 3/2*k*T ???

Calculating the equilibrium composition, course reader ex
In the first example in the course reader it says you mix 0.500 mol/L N2 with 0.800mol/L H2. Also given: at equilibrium there is 0.150 mol/L NH3. What is K?
The change in molar concentration for N2 is 0.075, and 0.225 for H2.
I'm confused as to how you find the change in molar concentration.

Re: When Z greater than or equal to 8 and Z<8 clarification
Z is the atomic number, and the nuclear charge is equal to the atomic number. for z<8, the sigma bond is above the pi bond. For z>8, the sigma bond is below the the pi bond. If you have a heteronuclear molecule, such as CO, sigma is always higher than the pi bond.
