So, in order to solve this problem, we would need to be given the half reactions, right? We wouldn't be expected to know which elements is the higher/lower oxidizing or reducing agent.

Will we be expected to know primary or secondary amines on the final?

Yes, always you make sure that the substituents are bonded to the lowest carbons possible. However, in naming based on the IUPAC, you just concern yourself with the alphabetical order. It does not matter, in naming, whether the numbers are in the correct order. As you recall in lecture, we had an ex...

What problems out of the textbook given in the course reader would be sufficient in covering kinetics? Because some of the problems begin to cover activation energies, which we are not being tested on in this quiz. Would it be up until 5.55?

Why do the zero order and first order reactions have a negative slope, while the second order has a positive slope? Will we need to know how to derive these formulas as well?

Write the half-reactions and devise a cell diagram for Cd(s) + 2Ni(OH)3(s) --> Cd(OH)2(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(s)

The answer for the cell diagram is Cd(s)|Cd(OH)2(s)|KOH(aq)||Ni(OH)3(s)|Ni(OH)2(s)|Ni(s)

Where do you get the KOH from? And the Ni(s)?

The problem asks to write the half-rxns, the balanced equation for the cell reaction, and the cell diagram for Au+(aq) --> Au(s) + Au3+(aq) How am I supposed to do this problem and determine what would be the cathodes and anodes? With just one reactant, I don't know where to start. The book writes t...

Heisenberg and Schrödinger get pulled over for speeding. The cop asks Heisenberg “Do you know how fast you were going?” Heisenberg replies, “No, but we know exactly where we are!” The officer looks at him confused and says “you were going 108 miles per hour!” Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries,...

What is the difference between First Order and Second Order Reactions?

You don't need to memorize any specific heat values. On your formula sheet, you are provided with all you need to know. If there is further information needed, such as the specific heat, it will be provided with the question.

For 8.93, it says to calculate the work that must be done against the atmosphere for the expansion of the gaseous products in the combustion of 1 mol C6H6 at 25 degrees C and 1 bar. So I figured that I would use the formula w=-P'delta'V and replace it to instead use w=-'delta'nRT. Looking at the sol...

What exactly is degeneracy? I am confused on what it is and how it applies to thermodynamics. Why can't it be found exactly?

Will we be provided the conversions for tests? For example, on Chapter 8 question 3, 101.325J/L*atm was needed to convert units to joules.

My favorite frequency is 50,000 Hz.

You've probably never heard it before.

A student added solid Na2O to a 200.0-mL flask, which was then filled with water, resulting in 200.0 mL of NaOH solution. 5.00 mL of the solution was then transferred to another flask and diluted to 500.0mL. The pH of the diluted solution is 13.25. What is the concentration of OH- in (a) the diluted...

If atoms share a triple bond, that is surely shorter and stronger than that of a double bond, and a double bond is shorter and stronger than that of a single bond. The more bonds that atoms share, the more stable it is. Bond order tells us the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms, and th...

It is because Ne is too small. If you were to draw the Lewis Structure for XeO2F2, 6 shared electron bonds (One bond from each F, and two bonds from each O) and 2 unpaired electrons would be attached to the central atom in order for the formal charges to all be zero. This makes sense because oxygen ...

I understand how to write the Molecular Orbital diagrams and how to include the bonding and antibonding orbitals. However, I don't completely understand what it means for an orbital to be bonding or antibonding. What is the difference?

Is the VSPER Model the same thing as the VSPER Formula? Or does one get the other?

Ashley Van Belle 2B

In order to transfer one electron from an atom to another, the electron affinity should be met. Electron affinity is a measure of how much energy is released when an electron is gained by a certain atom; it is also the amount of energy required in order to detach the electron from the other atom. So...

∆v is change in velocity, and so the ± ____ m/s refers to the uncertainty of that value. For example, say that the ∆v is 50 m/s ± 2. This means that there is an uncertainty in which your velocity could range from 48 to 52, because you added or subtracted 2 from 50. If you now notice, finding ∆v is t...

I am confused about the orientation of the orbitals. Do the various types of orbitals all overlap one another? For example, there are the three p-orbitals: px, py, and pz, and there are the 5 d-orbitals and the 7 f-orbitals. Can all of these different orbitals occur at the same n level? Looking at t...

For question M11c in the Chemistry Review section, the problem asks to find the mass of the excess reactant. I assumed that it would need to find the excess amount of phosphorous. However, when I looked at the solutions manual, it solves for the excess reagent of phosphorous(III) oxide. Why do I sol...
