Cis/Trans for Conformations
How can you tell a conformation is cis or trans? Is it based on whether the atoms attached to the C on a double bond that have the highest priority are both axial/equatorial?

Section 4.3 4.28
"Write the full reaction mechanism for the electrophilic addition reaction of hydrogen bromide, HBr, to propene, CH3CHCH2, producing 2-bromopropane, CH3CHBRCH3. Draw the transition states."
Why is it that the H in HBR bonds specifically to the C bonded to two H?

Question 14.11 (d)
"Write the half-reactions and the balanced equation for the cell reaction for each of the following galvanic cells:
(d) Pt(s)|O2(g)|H+(aq)||OH-(aq)|O2(g)|Pt(s)"
How can you tell that O2 reacts with H+ in its respective half-reaction?

Change in Entropy and Spontaneity
Does a higher change in entropy value in a reaction necessarily mean that the reaction is more spontaneous?

Calculating Reaction Enthalpy Using Bond Enthalpies
Why is it that when calculating the enthalpy of formation is it "(Sum of Bond Enthalpies of Reactants)" - "(Sum of Bond Enthalpies of Products)" as opposed to the other way around, like it is when calculating the reaction enthalpy when using enthalpy of formation?

Problem 8.57
I am confused as to how the answer is -312 kJ/mol instead of +312 kJ/mol. Does this have to do with the given values being delta Hc instead of delta Hf?
