Re: Finding the K Overall [ENDORSED]
In the course reader you get that result because the HC03 in the numerator of Ka1 cancels with that in the denominator of Ka2.

Re: General trend in pressures?
If you increase or decrease pressure, the equilibrium will try to prevent the change. So if you increase pressure, the reaction will shift to the side of the equation with fewer molecules to balance it out and if you decrease the pressure the reaction will shift to the side of the equation with more...

Chapter 17 #31 a & c
The question says to write the formula for the coordination compounds:
a. potassium hexacyanidochromate(III)
c. tetraamminediaquacobalt(III) bromide
Can someone explain to me why potassium is written as K3 instead of K and why bromine is written as Br3 instead of Br?

Re: Half Full d^5 and Full d^10 Subshells
I'm pretty sure the exception applies to any configuration ending in d^4 or d^9. Watch out for chromium and copper!

Re: Home work question 3.39
Ammonium Chloride is written as NH4Cl. 1. Count the number of valence electrons (N=5) + (H=1x4) + (Cl=7) = 16 electrons 2. Take each chunk at a time. NH4 has 9 electrons, 1 too many, so it can donate one to Cl to complete its octet. 3. Now NH4 has 8 electrons and a positive charge because it lost an...

Re: Solving for uncertainty
Yes. Even if you took the two into consideration, the uncertainty would still just be .01 times 2 because 2.01-1.99 is still =.02.

Re: Atomic vs. Molecular spectroscopy [ENDORSED]
Atomic spectroscopy has to do with just the properties of atoms where as molecular spectroscopy concerns the entire molecule. Molecular spectroscopy is the study of how molecules absorb light and atomic spectroscopy is trying to figure out what elements make up the atom by by looking at the electrom...

Writing Reactions
I understand how to balance a chemical reaction, but I'm having trouble writing them when they are given in word form (like chlorate or calcium hydroxide). Does anybody have any tips or tricks for remembering all the prefixes and suffixes?
