Why do most chemists learn about ammonia first?

It's pretty basic stuff

Two men walk into a bar. One of them orders H20. The second man says, "I'll have H20 too". The second man dies.

Hello,
If there is a reactant that has a zero order, it would not have an effect on the overall order. You would essentially neglect it and add a 0 when you were summing up the orders of the reaction.

What did the angry electron say when it was repelled?

Let me atom!!

Hi,
Because we are given a delta H without a specific temperature, I believe that it is safe to assume that we could use the standard room temperature, but I am not sure that it is the real reason we would use it.

I believe that the question you are referring to, (#3 in Winter 2015 Practice Quiz) asks you to find the w, q and delta U rather than delta H. As you stated, we can find the amount of work done by the system from the equation of w=-nRTln(V2/v1). However, the change in internal energy (delta U) would...

From a thermodynamics perspective, could someone explain how water gains energy to evaporate, even at room temperature? Even without energy from a light source, water can evaporate. I assume it would have to do with gas molecules interacting with the surface of the water, possibly giving it kinetic ...

What is the definition of a quasi-static process and how is it different from a reversible reaction?

In an example that I came across the reaction had the notion (am) after acetic acid: CH3COOH (am). What does the am stand for?

For B2: The bond order is 1/2(4-2)=2 And the valence electron configuration is (2 \sigma s) 2 (2 \sigma [*]s) 2 (2 \pi [*]s) 2 For Be2: The bond order is 1/2(2-2)=0 And the valence electron configuration is (2 \sigma s) 2 (2 \sigma [*]s) 2 For F2: The bond order is 1/2(8-6)=2 And the valence electro...

Based on the answers in the textbook, the new IUPAC nomenclature has been used.

Hello, I was under the impression that the “most important” Lewis structure, needed to have symmetry in terms of the bonds as well as maintaining the symmetry in formal charge. This would occur when the two outer Nitrogen atoms would have triple bonds with the inner Nitrogen atoms and the middle ato...

Does that mean an element in the 4p orbital, such as Arsenic or Selenium, could potentially be exceptions to the octet rule and access the 4d and/or the 4f orbital?

Vishal Dobaria 4G

Most of the elements in the first two Groups have a tendency to lose electrons in order to have a full valence electron shell and follow the octet rule. For example, Lithium tends to lose an electron in a reaction. Is it possible for elements such as Lithium to gain electrons and achieve a full vale...

The antibiotic tetracycline has formula C22H24N2O8. Safe dosage of the drug is .24 (mirco)mol/kg/day. If the child weighing 45 lb is administered tetracycline in four equally divided doses per day, what mass of tetracycline should be present in each dose? I understand that in order to determine the ...
