Are there any tips for drawing in electron transfers between two organic compounds, for instance, in an SN2 reaction?

How do you differentiate Z and E vs. cis and trans notation?

How does the numbering for cycloalkenes work? Do you have the lowest number next to the double bonds or largest substituent?

You can also look at the sum of the exponents in the rate law. The rate is given by: Rate=k[A]^n[B]^m[C]^l... and the order will be n+m+l+... . You can also look at what is displayed on a graph. If it is ln(A_{t}) vs. time, you can infer that this is a first order equation. If a graph has \f...

Do transition states appear in elementary reactions at all?

Is the Cl- ion in the cell diagram shown as the product of the oxidation half reaction then? Why is it included?

In problem 14.21c, the problem provides the following cell diagram for us to find the cell potential: Hg_{(l)}|Hg_{2}Cl_{2}_{(s)}|Cl^{-}_{(aq)}||Hg^{2+}_{(aq)}|Hg_{(l)} . How would you perform the oxidation at the anode provided that Hg_{2}Cl_{2}_{(s)}...

Gibbs free energy is mathematically defined as: $\Delta H-T\Delta S$ ; what does this value physically represent in the ongoing reaction?

Daniel_Sands3L

It doesn't seem like it would work this way. For instance, in the following link: www2.stetson.edu/~wgrubbs/datadriven/entropyaluminumoxide/entropyal2o3wtg.html, the molar entropy of Aluminum Oxide is found by integrating with respect to temperature the equation: \int_{0}^{T}\frac{C_{P}}{T}dT , wher...

Why do ions in solution sometimes have negative entropies? How do they make a system more ordered?

For calculating W given a particular molecule, do you just determine it based off the number of orientations that the molecule can occupy? For instance, for H2, can we state it only has one orientation and microstate?

When there is a constant volume, but non constant pressure, how do we calculate change in internal energy? Is it just the heat exchanged between the system and its surroundings?

Why is an electron always depressed?

It's quant-numb and uncertain of its place in the world.
