Do you know if the Organic Chemistry Course Reader we got for Chem 14B can be used for Chem 14C? Like, are there topics in our current Organics Course Reader that are covered in chem 14C?

The 1 and 2 in SN1 and SN2 refer to the molecularity, right? Like SN2 = bimolecular. But what exactly does bimolecular mean? Does it have to do with there being 2 different reactants or 2 moles of reactants?

I heard someone say that you should also number a molecule so that you have the most substituents. I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was true or not?

Can someone explain to me why CH3OCH3 is a nucleophile? My TA said that we should look at the center atom when determining whether a molecule is a nucleophike or electrophile. Assuming that oxygen is the central atom (?). Carbon is more electronegative than oxygen so the electrons are attracted mor...

Correct me if I'm wrong.
But I think it's because nucleophiles "donate" electrons and therefore tend to be species that have a negative charge or extra electrons. Oxygen in H2O has 2 lone pairs of electrons which are readily donated.

When the question asks to identify whether Tl^+ will disproportionate in an aqueous solution, the answer is no because Gibss free energy is positive (Given: +215kj/mol) and not spontaneous, but also K <1, right? Is this a right reasoning? I know that there is also an equation that related Gibbs Free...

What is the main difference between balancing an acidic and basic solution? Would we still need to add H2O to balance out the half reactions in a basic solution like we do in an acidic solution?

The question asks what happens to the entropy generated by your body heat when the temperature of the room increases from 20 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius. I understand mathematically why entropy decreases because the denominator (Temperature) in the entropy equation deltaS=q/t increases and...

How would you have known to half the second equation ? You know you have to half the second equation because in order to form dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) you need 2NO which the first equation gives you. But the first equation also produces 2NO2 which you do not want in your final reaction equation....
