On the top right hand side on page 50 of the Introduction to Organic Chemistry textbook, the geometric isomer with the Cl and F being trans across the double bond, also has a triple bond. The book named it as (E)-3-Chloro-4-fluoro-7-methyloct-3-en-5-yne. However, why can it not be (E)-6-Chloro-5-flu...

When constructing the lewis structure of Azide, N3-, I noticed that the solution put a positive charge on the central nitrogen atom and negative charges on the outer nitrogen atoms. I do not understand why the central nitrogen atom would have a positive charge on it? Since they are all nitrogen atom...

When rate laws depend on more than one species, we can simplify the analysis by keeping on the species at a "constant" concentration throughout the reaction. For example, using the textbook's example, iodide ions get oxidized by persulfate ions, represented by: Rate of consumption of I^-=k...

The textbook explicitly mentions that it will not go beyond second-order reactions. Assuming we are adhering closely to the book, I would say that we just need to know how to deal with first and second order reactions!

Does anyone know if we need to know all the details about activation energy, collision theory, and transition state theory for quiz #2? References to these topics were made in class, so I am not sure if I should spend time reading that portion of the text for now. Also the preparatory quiz in the Co...

Yeah so you have to derive the two half-reactions from the skeletal equation, and from those two half-reactions, you can determine the number of moles of electrons you need to use for that equation. For example, if you have Zn(s) getting oxidized at the anode and Cu2+ ions getting reduced at the cat...

When delta U=0, in the case of isothermal expansion, the internal energy lost as work is replaced by heat. If heat were to be zero (q=0), then this would not be isothermal expansion. If a piston does 1000 J of work, then 1000 J of energy is replaced in the form of heat.

What do you call a tooth in a glass of water?

A one molar solution!

For this problem, you must look at the balanced equation and determine the change in moles, delta(n)=nfinal-ninitial. In this case, nfinal would be 3 moles since there are 3 moles on the products side of the equation, and ninitial would be 2 moles, as there are two moles on the reactants side of the...

The question is stated as follows: Question: A piece of copper of mass 20.0 g at 100.0 degrees Celsius is placed in a vessel of negligible heat capacity but containing 50.7 g of water at 22.0 degrees Celsius. Calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume that no energy is lost to the surround...

Compression is the reverse of expansion. We know that work=-Pex(delta)V when the pressure is constant (see the book for derivation). If we were working with an expansion problem, work should come out negative, since work is being done by the system rather than on the system. Now consider the case of...

I wish I was an ion so I could form an exothermic bond with you. Here is another funny one! A small piece of sodium which lived in a test tube fell in love with the Bunsen burner: "Oh Bunsen, my flame. I melt whenever I see you . . .", the sodium pined. "It's just a phase you're going...
