On pg 29 of intro to orgo, the ex under "unconjugated dienes" reads as "Cyclo hex -1,4-diene." However, for self-test 1.11A part B (on the bottom of the same page), the answer reads as "1,6-Dimethylcyclo hexa -1,4-diene." Pg 30 continues with ex like "cyclo octa -1...

On pg 157, the intro to orgo book says that the standard gibbs free energy of activation for both transition steps will be bw the transition states and reactants bc "it is more convenient to determine all diff w respect to the reactants." Could someone please explain why it's more convenie...

In this it says that given the graph, step one would have the larger Ea, but how can you tell that? I kinda assumed that since the standard gibbs free energy of activation was larger in the second step, it would have the larger Ea. Thanks :)

On pg 152 of Intro to OChem there is an ex w two steps. The first step displays propene and Hydrogen bromide. In the description for this step it says that propene is the nucleophile, but shouldn't the double bond in propene be labeled the nucleophile. Idk if this is technical or what bc it's more s...

CH4 has highest STANDARD molar entropy bc it has highest mass. When the molecule is heavier, its vibrational energy is higher, so it has more entropy. You look at atom positions when you're looking at RESIDUAL entropy. This is when the molecules are given at T=0K. In this case, for ex CH4 and CF4 wo...

For w=-delta(nRT), is it the change in moles or temperature? I've read the posts here and they've had different answers. Thanks :)

q=mC(Tfinal-Tinitial)
heat lost by water (-q)=(q) heat heat gained by ice

-mC(Tf-Ti)=mC(Tf-Ti)+n(deltaH fusion of ice)

What you're missing is the mC(Tf-Ti) for ice. Once included you'll get:

-400g(4.184J/Cg)(Tfinal-45C)=50g(4.184J/Cg)(Tfinal-0C)+2.8mol(6010 J/mol)
And so Tfinal=31C

The change in internal energy(ΔU) is a a combo of energy transferred from heating(q) and compression(w). When at a constant pressure, q can be equivalent to the change in enthalpy(ΔH), being heat released or absorbed at constant P. So increasing/decreasing ΔH will inc/dec ΔU accordingly. When the rx...

Based on the textbook problems Lavelle assigned, the problem may tell you which method it wants you to use. If not, I'm p sure that you'll be provided w certain info (aka standard enthalpies of formation or bond enthalpies) which will push you towards using a certain method, and you'll solve the pro...

I don't think we need to memorize them per se, but rather generally recognize which acids & bases are strong/weak.

What's the largest K value that can be considered a small K (leading to a small x, allowing you to approximate your concentrations)?

Angela_Pu_3C

Yeah I realized I forgot a conversion thank you!

Why do we plug in 1.581x10-3? The x (or molar concentration of CO2) is 1.581M (resulting in Kc=1.58) so I'm not sure how/why we use 1.581x10-3 instead. Thank you!

If you draw out the whole molecule, you'll see that for a non-central Carbon atom that is attached to the central Carbon with a single bond, the Carbon has a FC=4-(2+3)=-1. The -1 FC of CH2 is based off of the Carbon atom. (The two H atoms each have a FC of 0)

How is P4 a tetrahedral molecule? It only has 4 atoms and creates a kite shape.

In the textbook it says, "The difference in energy between the ground state and the ionized state is the energy required to remove an electron from the neutral atom in its ground state. The ionization energy itself...is the minimum energy needed to achieve ionization, with the electron removed ...

When the electron transitions fro n=4 to n=3, energy is emitted. So in the equation E=-hR((1/nfinal^2)-(1/ninitial^2)), E becomes -E, and you'll find that after substituting in your numbers your answer will be positive.
