Re: Post All Chemistry Jokes Here
Two atoms are walking down the street and they run into each other:
“Are you alright?”
“No, I lost an electron!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I’m positive!”
“Are you alright?”
“No, I lost an electron!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I’m positive!”

Re: Intermediates in a reaction mechanism
C. NO3 would be an intermediate since it doesn't appear in the reaction given by the problem. It is produced in step 1 and subsequently used in step 2.

Re: Inert Conductors
We use inert conductors when both the reactant and product of a redox half reaction are in solution. Platinum is the most common inert conductor by far. Pt is included in the cell diagram, but is not included in the half reactions since Pt is inert, meaning it doesn't participate in the reaction.

Re: Derivation of Entropy Equation (changing temperature)
Hi, From my knowledge, you should be able to take the delta S = nR ln (V2/V1) and use the gas law that volume is directly proportional to the temperature in cases of constant pressure. (V2/V1)=(T2/T1) In this way, the formula delta S = nR ln (T2/T1) can be derived. Does anyone else have another expl...

Re: Symbols used on thermochemistry?
The degree superscript means that the enthalpy in question is a standard reaction enthalpy. H°f is the symbol for the standard enthalpy of formation.
