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.

One step in the production of hydrogen as a fuel is the reaction of methane with water vapor: CH4(g)+H2O(g)->CO2(g)+3H2(g) deltaH=-318kJ What is the change in internal energy for the production of 1.00 mol H2?

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...

The reaction 2 HCl(g)-> H2(g)+Cl2(g) has K=3.2x10^-34 at 298K. The initial partial pressures are H2, 1.0 bar; HCl, 2.0 bar; and Cl2, 3.0 bar. At equilibrium there is 1.0 mol H2(g). What is the volume of the container? (Don't be surprised at the large size of the volume)

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.

I put n=4 into n-initial and solved for n-final which allowed me to get n=6. I'm wondering why this worked because the problem asked for the quantum level where the electron began.

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?
