Hi, Professor Lavelle announced we would only need to know how to draw the chair conformation for cyclohexane.

Re: Practice problem (Naming)
Hi! The prefix iso- is included when putting the substituents in alphabetical order. Other prefixes like tert- and sec- aren't though. Hope this helps. :)

Re: Is F a electrophile or nucleophile?
F- is a nucleophile.

Re: Intro to O Chem
The rest of the material should be covered in the Introduction to Chemistry book we bought along with the course reader. There doesn't seem to be any other readings assigned from the textbook.

Re: RXN rate graph of zero order
Yes, you're correct. The graph of a first order reaction and a second order reaction appear to be linear since the data was manipulated to appear that way by either plotting the data as ln [A] or 1/[A] against time. If the concentrations ([A]) were plotted against time, the first order and second or...

Re: Entropy @ 0K
CO would have a higher molar entropy than I2 at 0 K since the CO molecule has a more complex molecular arrangement than the I2 molecule. In other words, CO will have a higher degeneracy than I2 (W for CO= 2; W for I2= 1), resulting in CO having a larger entropy than I2 (S= Kb *InW). This concept is ...

Re: What is the purpose of a salt bridge?
The salt bridge allows for ion transfer between the anode solution and the cathode solution. So, it maintains both solutions at a neutral state, meaning the electron flow will be able to continue for a more extended period of time.

Re: Potential Difference vs. EMF
Emf is the maximum potential difference between the two electrodes ( cathode/anode) when no current is flowing in the circuit. Potential difference is the difference between the electrode potentials when current is flowing.

Re: 8.25 HW problem
In this problem, I think you have to first find the heat capacity of the calorimeter by dividing the heat (q) by the change in temperature (7.32 degrees C). Once you have that value, you can use it to find the amount of heat released by the reaction in the subsequent experiment. Using the equation P...

Re: Ch. 8 Number 31
The values 3/2R and 5/2R are also listed in the Constants and Formulas page on page 125 of the course reader.
