To elaborate, at a UA session today, the UA explained that if the two substituents are "gauche" to each other in a stable conformation, that means that they're next to each other on the Newman projection. (I think they still follow the 60 or 300 degree rule though.)

For Question 2.26 (Page 98), I had written the answer as 3,3-dimethylpentan-2-one , but the answer says 3,3-dimethyl-2-pentanone. Would my answer be incorrect, or is it alright either way? Thanks!

I believe so, the Organic Chemistry book says "Torsional strain results from bonds on adjacent atoms being eclipsed".

You matter.

Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light, squared.

Then, you energy.

They are inert electrodes-- they don't participate in the reaction, they promote the chemical reactions. I believe that they supply/withdraw electrons (?).

On the formula sheet, I believe we're only given those that correspond to water. But if it's for another substance, I think they should put it in the problem.

#8 on Quiz 1 Preparation says, "For reaction: 2C+2H2=C2H4, DeltaH= +52.3 kJ/mol and DeltaS= -53.07 J/K*mol at 298 K. At what temperature will this reaction be spontaneous?" Initially, I thought the formula needed to solve for the temperature was DeltaG= DeltaH - T*DeltaS but then I saw th...

I completed practice question #23 for chapter 9, and the solutions stated that one of the molecule choices was incorrect because "all groups attached...are identical". This may be a stretch, but I was wondering if polarity had any correlation with disorder?

Can I please get clarification on using an integral to sum an infinite number of steps? I was wondering if we will ever need to know how to derive w, work, for the exams/quizzes.

If the standard enthalpy of formation is not found on the tables given, is it then safe to assume that it equals 0?
