Re: Practice Problems

Does it matter if the second molecule in the first problem set has the two methyl groups on the same side and the hydrogens on the same side as long as the two highest priority groups are anti to each other?

Re: HW Ch.8 question 8.25

In the solutions manual to this, they say that q reaction + q calorimeter = 0. Is that something you just have to know? or where in the problem does it suggest that the change in internal energy is 0?

Re: Reading the textbook

I think reading the textbook is helpful after going to lecture because sometimes I leave lecture with a lot of unanswered questions and the textbook helps expand on details. It does get to be quite confusing sometimes though. Going to the peer facilitated learning sessions are also very helpful to m...

Irreversible vs. Reversible

Is there another way in which we can distinguish between irreversible and reversible reactions other than constant temperature? Is there anything actually "reversible" about a reaction that has constant temperature or is that some arbitrary name?

Re: Understanding why enthalpy is a state function

Could someone explain why enthalpy (which I understand to be heat at a constant pressure) is a state function while just heat is not a state function? Why does having a constant pressure suddenly make heat become enthalpy and therefore a state function?

How does an atom donate a proton? We have been learning about electrons being shared and electronegativity, but I thought a proton is part of the nucleus of an atom. How does a proton separate from an atom?

Mass of an electron

On page 43 of the course reader it talks about the photoelectric effect and the equation for kinetic energy (Ek=1/2 me-*ve-). I was wondering if the mass of an electron is the same no matter what element is given.
