Re: Order of naming

You want the set of numbers that has the lowest number. 1 is the lowest number, so use the set that has 1, which is 1,6. Side note: you'd think it was 2,3 because that has lower numbers overall but IUPAC doesn't have a "lowest sum" rule or anything (ie 2+3 is less than 1+6), just lowest n...

Re: Quiz 2 question

If you're talking about graphing deltaG reaction and deltaG transition, deltaG reaction is the distance between products and reactants and deltaG transition is the distance from the reactant to the top of the transition state

Re: standard molar entropy

Also the reason why we only look at residual entropy at 0K is because at 0K there is no vibrational entropy. I think the increasing molar mass has to do with generally, more molar mass means more complexity which means more interactions between the atoms which leads to vibrations but at 0K it just d...

Re: Question 7.27, Gas constant temperature units

Yes, you usually save doing sig figs till the very end. Sometimes solutions will round ahead of time because they probably don't want to have to write out the entire number, but your end answer should be the same.

.0821 has units L*atm/(K*mol) ad 8.314 has units J/(K*mol) so depending on what the problem is asking and what units are used in the problem, you can determine which R to use

I think the 1.5x10^-3 is from 2.5x10^-3 mol CH3COOH reacting with 1.0x10^-3 mol OH-, so you subtract 1.0x10^-3 from 2.5x10^-3

But then I don't get how 1.0x10^-3 mol OH- is changed to 1.0x10^-3 mol CH3CO2...

Draw the Lewis structure for XeO2F2. Explain why this structure would be allowed for Xe as a central atom but not for Ne as a central atom.

I don't really understand how to answer part 2 of the question. Is it because Ne is too small or something?

Re: Adding electrons for exceptions

I have the same question; it makes sense for Cu2+ but then for Cu2- you're adding two electrons, so would it go into the p orbital and be 3d10 4s2 4p1? Or is it even possible to have Cu2-?

Re: Naming for Quiz 2

Based on the Quiz 2 preparation quiz in the workbook, you don't need to know the polyatomic ions or they're given to you. Though I'd say it's good to know some of the frequently used polyatomic ions like sulfate, just in case.

Re: Quiz Preparation #5 [ENDORSED]

Delta v would be 2 times .1 which is .2, since .1 is the uncertainty in the velocity and the value of v can range from 2.25 to 2.45. You can also think of delta v as 2.45-2.25, which is .2. Hope this helps!

Going off of this, he also mentioned threshold value a few times. Is that the value that the wavelength has to be shortened to in order for increasing intensity to actually remove electrons?
