1.23 in Introduction to Organic Chemistry Course reader

How do you know that those specific isomers that they show in the solution are all the specific isomers? Like is there a tick to doing this when it asks to draw all the isomers?

Re: Saying Thank You to Dr. Lavelle

Dear Dr. Lavelle,

Thank you for providing an extensive amount of resources to us throughout Chemistry 14A and 14B. I know that you truly want us to learn and out the effort in creating an environment in which we have the tools to fully grasp what we are learning.

All the best

I don't really understand page 146 in the Introduction to Organic Chemistry textbook. Specifically, what is a Grignard reaction? the wording on this page just confused me and I was wondering is someone could simplify it for me?

Rate Laws and Reaction order [ENDORSED]

On page 621 of the textbook, there is an example of

2O3(g) ----> 3O2(g)

and then it says that the rate law for this reaction is

Rate= k([O3]^2/[O2]

can someone explain how that is the rate law?

Thank you!

In a sports relay race, a chemical kinetics specialist runs slowly, and his group loses the race.

When the chemical kinetics specialist is asked why he ran slowly, his reply was “I always wanted to be the significant rate determining step”

in 9.59b, the dissolution of CaF2 I'm water is: CaF2(s)---->CaF2(aq) technically this is increasing the disorder of the system and should have a positive entropy (positive delta S), but the solutions manual shows it to have a negative entropy. Why is that?

Re: HSO4-

Yes, it is amphoteric. Here is an example:

HSO4- + HCl <--> H2SO4 + Cl- (HSO4- here acts as a base; it accepts a proton)

HSO4- + OH- <--> SO42- + H2O (HSO4- here acts an acid; it donates a proton)

With ClO, there is an odd number of electrons so Cl is going to have a radical on it. Radicals make the compound more reactive.

Re: Px, Py, Pz [ENDORSED]

Using P is the same thing as using Px, Py, and Pz. It just helps to use Px, Py, and Pz so that you can fully see how the electrons fill the orbitals. Doing it this way makes it easier to see the lone pairs of electrons.
