Re: nucleophile vs electrophile

OH- is a nucleaphile because it has three lone pairs that readily available to bond

Re: Nucleophile vs Electrophile

Nucleophile is simply a fancy way of saying -- molecule that has a lone pair to bond with a molecule that needs an electron. Electrophile is a fancy way of saying-- molecule that needs an electron. Cl to Cl- is something you can remember from 14a

Re: Catalyst that is used and produced

Well the more catalyst, the more reactant it can catalyze. A lot of enzyme use surface area, moree enzyme means more surface area

Re: Relationship between activation energy and pseudo delta g

Your confusion may strain from the fact that the deltaG is taken from reactant to maxima of a TS while Ea is first from reactant to TS1 in a two step and then from the intermediates to TS2. deltaG disregards the intermediates as a starting point of measurement

Re: ch15 #51

Yes, as the questions on the Quizzes, the slow step governs the entirety of the reaction. When you see a reaction that is slow then fast, ONLY look at the slow step to determine rate law. Nice general rule

Re: Determining Overall Reaction Rate

Such as when given a question regarding a table of values (COncentrations, Rates, Etc.) and you are asked to find the order of each substance and the overall order. It is important to remember to add the overall exponents at the end to find overall rate. Each individual order only relates to the spe...

Re: Significant Figures for pH

the sig figs for pH is the total like as in the 12 in 12.34. that is always unaffected. Starting with the decimal point, it is the number of sig figs in the value that was log'ed. so as log(2.73 ×10–5) = –4.564. The 2.73 is three sig figs for there must be three sig figs after the decimal point.

Re: Do we include (aq) in equilibrium equation?

The K equation deals with concentrations and as such aqueous solutions consist of dissolved solutes which can change in concentration unlike a solid group of atoms which cannot change in concentration

Re: Resonance Structures-More Stable

It's not the ability to draw the structures-- that's just a formality because we are operating in a 2-D sense. In reality the resonance means that each bond among the plausible options is the same length (as in the double bond is distributed throughout the options making the total molecule more stab...

Re: Ionic Chemical Equation

Therefore, the number in parentheses denotes what types of bonds the metals can make. For instance, Copper can be Cu(i) or Cu(ii). Cu(i) can give in one electron from a nonmetal as it is Cu1+ while Cu(ii) can give two electrons as it is Cu2+. Thus Cu(i) can form a bond like Cu2O while Cu(ii) can sim...
