Re: Heat Capacity of a Monoatomic Ideal Gas (9.13)
when applying these formulas, the R is always 8.314 correct?

Heat Capacity
Is the specific heat capacity the same thing as the (heat capacity of a substance)/(the amount of grams of that substance)? Also, why were we given the definition of the heat capacity if we cannot even use it (since it is an extensive property)?

Re: 2010 Final Q7 Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
If we do decide to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, do we have to specifically write "assume x is negligible" in order to receive full credit?

Re: Amphoteric Compounds
Hi! I believe that the compound BaO is basic because typically metals form basic oxides. The compounds As2O3 and Bi2O3 are amphoteric oxides because the elements in and around the diagonal line of metalloids typically form amphoteric oxides.

Equilibrium Terminology
Hi, what is the difference between equilibrium that is "shifted to the left" verses a reaction that is said to "lie to the left" in terms of the equilibrium constant K. I understand that is K is small, then the equilibrium favors the formation of reactants, but how is that knowle...

Re: Adding -ate at the end of names
So just for clarification, if the complex is neutral, and the transition metal is iron, the correct terminology would be to use iron instead of ferrate.

Equilibrium constants
Just a conceptual question, why are solids not included when calculating an equilibrium constant?

Re: Lone Pair Repulsion in Bent Molecules
A continuation of the previous question, if a molecule has the formula AX2E3 will the 3 lone pairs cancel one another out and result in a nonpolar, linear molecule? Or will this molecule still be bent?

Dissociation Energies
Hi, I was wondering why dissociation energies (the energy required to break a bond) are always positive?

Re: How to increase the intensity of the photon
After re-watching the lecture video on the photoelectric effect, the answer became somewhat more clear. The intensity of the light only affects the number of electrons ejected and the speed at which they are ejected only after certain threshold energy (determined by the frequency of the incoming lig...

Re: Rydberg Equation
I have the exact same question! However, I chose to solve the problem using the Rydberg formula from the textbook, which is Frequency= R{(1/n1^2)-(1/n2^2)} which allows you to solve for the frequency. Then, I just solved for wavelength using the formula wavelength= c/frequency. However, Professor La...

Calculating the energy of a Photon
In homework problem 1.33 part (c) why is it necessary to add the answer from part (b) (which is 1.66 x 10^-17J) to the kinetic energy of the electron in order to calculate the energy of the photon?
