Do we need to know the information from pages 79-81 in the course reader?

For alkenes does it matter if we write something like 2-pentene instead of pent-2-ene?

Izzy Ick 4B

Why is CH₄ (propdrawn with a triple bond instead of two carbon carbon double bonds?

How do you tell if a reaction will take place at room temperature? I understand that it is low activation energy/small standard enthalpy of activation, but what is the range of these low/small values?

Izzy Ick 4B

What is the significance of the activated complex theory for this unit?

Izzy Ick 4B

In the Arrhenius Equation where do you get the values for A, the frequency factors?

Besides copper, what are other common metals electrodes can be made of?
This would be helpful to know when we need to use platinum/graphite in a cell diagram.

Izzy Ick 4B

Why is it that the salt bridge/porous disc only allows for the exchange of an ion such as SO4 ^2- and not a metal ion like Cu²⁺, like the example in the course reader?

What do we need to know about degeneracy for the first quiz? Just to calculate total degeneracy (w1 x w2)? Will will be ever asked to find a value?

Izzy Ick 4B

In an reversible or irreversible process, what exactly is the quality of the process that is able to be (or not to be) reversed?

i.e. why are they called this

Izzy Ick 4B

I understand that temperature and heat are different things but it would help if someone could explain that distinction and how they are related. Does an increase in temperature always lead to an increase in heat content. Or is it the other way around? Also, is energy just another term for heat cont...

If you were doing a titration with a weak acid and a strong base like Ca(OH)₂ (2x OH^-), how would your calculations change when you are trying to find the pH of the solution?

HW 12.51 part d

When you compare acids like HClO₄ and H₃PO₄ that differ in multiple ways (number of H atoms, Cl v. P), how do you determine which one is stronger?

Izzy Ick 4B

Why is BF₃ considered a Lewis acid? Using the definition of Lewis acid we learned in class how is this the case?

Izzy Ick 4B

For polydentate ligands, how are you supposed to determine how many binding sites it has? Do you have to draw the lewis structure?

Izzy Ick 4B

Besides structural, what are the differences in between the cis and trans form of a tetrahedral complex?

Izzy Ick 4B

What is the maximum number of electrons that could surround any given central atom in a molecule with an expanded octet?

Izzy Ick 4B

What are the most common wavelengths of photons that are released when a sample bombarded with electrons?
