Strain
Hi, I'm confused about the difference between steric strain, bond angle strain, and torsional strain. What are the differences?

Final
Is the final exam cumulative or is it just material that we learned after the midterm?

Midterm Winter 2012 Question 7B
why is the anode reaction written in the format as if it were a reduction if it is being oxidized? Also, don't you want to maximize the voltage to get a positive voltage so that it would give you a more negative G?

Midterm Winter 2012 Question 7A
Cu is being oxidized so the equation is in the format: Cu --> Cu2+ + 2e When given the Ecell of that reaction, the equation sheet says it is +.34 V when the equation is in the format Cu2+ + 2e --> Cu When finding the Ecathode by plugging in the Ecell that is given and the Eanode from the oxidized re...

Finding n and m
I'm a little confused on how to calculate n and m. It wasn't very clear in the coursereader how for a first order reaction they both equal 1 and how you can determine this.

Constant Temperature in Ideal Gas Expansion
As mentioned in class, the system with an ideal gas and a vacuum will have a constant temperature becasue the energy that it loses when it is doing work is replaced by the heat of the surroundings going into the system. Does the heat coming into the system (q) come in for the purpose of maintaining ...

Work
In the equation w=-PdeltaV, Dr. Lavelle explained that Pressure is negative because it means that the system is pushing out and doing work against a positive pressure. Does this mean that we should always assume that there is a positive pressure going against the system? What if there is no pressure...

enthalpy definition
Page 16 of the coursereader says that enthalpy is "the amount of heat released/absorbed at a constant pressure." Why does enthalpy not include constant volume?

constant volume and constant pressure
Dr. Lavelle mentioned in class that the numbers of constant volume and constant pressure will be different because in constant pressure there will be heat expansion but in constant volume there will not be heat expansion. But he said that with both liquids and gases that they will both expand but on...

enthalpy
In figure 8.18, it says that overall entropy change can be positive when the entropy of the system increases and also when the entropy of the system decreases and that in both cases it is spontaneous. How can the overall entropy change be positive in both cases if in one reaction the entropy increas...
