Re: Homework question #21 a
Double bonds get priority over substituents in having the lowest number.

Re: Course reader page 103- cis
It actually doesn't need to be the same group on both sides, you're just looking at which group has the highest priority on each side. Both CH3 and CH2CH3 have a higher priority than H because C has a higher atomic number than H, so those are the groups you use to determine if it's cis or trans.

Re: Delta G (knot)=-RTlnKeq on Page 108 in CR [ENDORSED]
It's actually ΔG° = -2.3030RTlogKeq (note: log instead of ln). 2.3030 is the conversion between log and natural log, i.e. 2.3030log(x) = ln(x).

Re: cis-trans
Rachel_Bressler_3I wrote:first compare the molar mass of the carbon molecules parallel to each other. If both of the highest priority are on the same side, it is cis, and if they are on opposite sides are trans.
I think it's the atomic number, not molar mass, of the atoms that are bonded to each carbon, right?

Re: p.15 Organic Textbook geometric isomer
I think it's because a geometric isomer has the same connectivity as well as molecular formula. If you look at 2-Methyl-1-propene, the C atom on the right of the double bond does not have an H connected to it like 1-Butene does. I don't know if this is right but I think that makes the hybridization...

Re: Calculating entropy
I think the two equations you're thinking of are actually ΔS = nCln(T2/T1) and ΔS = nRln(V2/V1). The first equation is used for changes in temperature while the second one is used for changes in volume.

Re: 8.117
The question is asking for the change in internal energy for the production of 1 mole of H 2 , while the equation involves 3 moles of H 2 . This means that you need to divide the whole reaction by three, giving: (1/3)CH 4 (g) + (1/3)H 2 O(g) --> (1/3)CO 2 (g) + H 2 (g) There are now 2/3 moles of gas...

Re: Ecell properties
Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of substance in a system, such as mass, volume, enthalpy, and entropy. (Enthalpy and entropy being extensive is the reason why you need to multiply by the number of moles of each substance when you calculate ΔH rxn or ΔS rxn .) On the other ha...

Re: Chp. 8 hwk
The molar kinetic energy of a noble gas is equal to (3/2)RT (there's an explanation for this on pages 277-278 of the textbook), where R = 8.314 J/K/mol and T is the temperature in Kelvin. So for part (a) you would calculate (3/2)(8.314)(55.85+273).

Re: Quiz Workbook P 49 Q9
I think this response from another thread should help. Essentially you're finding what the concentration of BrCl would be if only 8.12% of it remains, then assuming that the concentration of the products increases by the same amount that the concentration of BrCl decreased by.

I don't know the precise answer, but on page 469 of the textbook it says that metals form basic oxides, while nonmetals (like sulfur) form acidic oxides.

That's actually (OH2), not (OH)2. OH2 is another way of writing H2O.

Re: Skipping Problems on Quiz 2 Prep?
I'm pretty sure that you can skip the past quizzes (Fall 2014 and Fall 2015) entirely for the Quiz 2 prep because they seem to cover only chapter 4 material. The actual hand-in quiz that will be scored, along with Quiz 2 itself, only covers topics from chapters 2-3, so don't skip any questions on th...

Re: Will hybrid orbitals be on the quiz?
I don't believe so, as those are chapter 4 topics, while Quiz 2 is only supposed to cover chapters 2 and 3.
