Re: Chair conformation

Equatorial is more stable than axial conformation so I would say put it at an equatorial position

Re: Arrhenius Graphs

Idk if this is what you're asking but, From the 'progress of reaction' energy graph, the activation energy is the difference between the energy of the transition state and the reactants,I believe.

Re: Ethane vs. ethene heat capacity?

What are the degrees of freedom as it relates to ethane and ethene ? How is this calculated?

IuPac Naming

So I was looking over some structural naming and I was a bit confused about when to use -iso...it seems as though you can you it when there are two substituents branching from a single carbon, however some examples say that instead you would write it as dimethyl. So is -iso and -dimethyl interchange...

Re: Quiz 3 Winter 2017

For iuPac naming, when dealing with a cycloalkane, how do you determine which molecule to number as #1, say the cycloalkane has two substituents...for example, a cyclohexane with substiuents of CH3 and Br?

Entropy

Explain this to me conceptually,

how can you determine the sign of entropy when just given a reaction and no numbers? For example, the midterm gives the rxn: CO2(g)+H2O(l)-->H2CO3(aq).

How do you go about this?

Re: Quiz 2 Winter 2017

Do we have to know how to use the pre-equilibrium approach since that is where we left off or no?

Thanks.

Redox

When balancing redox equations, once you get to the half reactions, if you want the equations to be acid or base, do you use the same method of adding H2O and H+ in order to balance the equations?

Quiz Question:Calculating delta H--amino acid bonds

Okay, so when given amino acid bonds, are we supposed to cancel out bonds on the products and reactants side in order to work with the bond enthalpies given in the chart? Can someone just explain how to solve this problem... >.<

Higher Entropy

If two molecules have the same molecular geometry, what determines which molecule has a higher entropy?

Standard Enthalpies of Formation

Do we use the formula of the sum of products minus the sum of reactants only for standard enthalpies of formation? Why do we not just add all enthalpies, similar to how we solve problems using Hess's law?
