Re: How to tell if you're dealing with an ideal gas?

I think in 14B we have only really used ideal gasses in problems, so it's safe to assume it is an ideal gas, even if it only says gas.

Re: Equilibrium Values

To further answer your question, when delta G is positive it is not spontaneous, when it is negative it is spontaneous.When Delta S total is positive the process is spontaneous, and when it is negative it is not spontaneous.

Re: Determining if a molecule is a nucleophile

I thought the rule was that if there is a partial negative or full negative, no matter what it is a nucleophile. For an electrophile, if there is a partial positive or full positive it is always an electrophile. Is this correct?

Re: Midterm #3b

For this question, it may have been important to discuss the gas, not just the amount of substances. Specifically, because there is gas on the reactant side but no gas on the product side, the entropy is decreased.

Re: Delta G vs Delta G0

You use the same equations for both. The difference is that deltaG0 is with standard conditions whereas deltaG is with nonstandard conditions.

When to use Kp or Kc

If we have a reaction and all the reactants and products are gasses, (none are aqueous) can we use either concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp), or are we only suppose to use Kp since they are all gasses?

Re: electron domain geometry vs molecular geometry [ENDORSED]

Just to clarify, for electron domain geometry should we count the lone pairs as bonds, for example, would AX2E2 be tetrahedral, or should we not include the lone pairs at all when looking at electron geometry and AX2E2 should be considered linear?
