In this section, an example is given where it asks to name the molecule structure given. But, in the given the molecule structure it states that there are 5 carbon atoms and 3 methyl substituents. I'm just confused on how you would determine which ones would be considered the 3 methyl, and which one...

In section 4.2, the example given shows in step 1 that the propene results in propan-2-ylium as reactants and it has the hyrdrogen atom attached to the CH2 molecule. Does the H have to be attached to the CH2 on the outside or can it just be attached to the CH in the chemical reaction?

I don't understand what purpose iso- serves in naming molecules nor for neo-. I only understand that neo is used or molecules with more than 5 carbon atoms. Can someone explain what these prefixes are used for?

On page 621, it shows that the reaction of 2O3(g)->3O2(g) has a rate law of k([O3]^2/[O2]). I don't understand what happens to the coefficient of O2 in the rate law equation. Why doesn't O2 have a superscript of 3?

In the example we learned in class today regarding concentration cells, the concentration of the substance surrounding the cathode decreases in concentration because the moles of NO3- are moved to the anode side because of the gain in electrons in the cathode. And, in turn, the concentration of the ...

Wow! Thank you!

For problem 9.43 it is asking us to find the entropy and total entropy of the reaction. To do this we must use S=nC*ln(Tf/Ti). We first need to find the final temperature of the equation since it is not given. In the solutions manual it shows that to find the final temperature we use the equation: T...

In class, it was noted that w=0 for an O2 molecule. I didn't quite understand the reasoning behind this. And also is this true for all diatomic molecules?

I'm still having a little a trouble on determining whether expansion work is being done by the system or on the system. On problem 8.17 a) it shows that the system is a liquid and the surrounding is a solid, so does the phase state that the system and the surrounding is in act as an indicator on whe...

I also found that information on the internet about placing the anionic ligand before the neutral ligand in the chemical formula, but the some of the answers in the book, for example for 31d, had the neutral ligand go before the anionic ligand, so what is real?

I'm not quite sure how a heteronuclear diatomic molecule is drawn out on the correlation diagram.I understand that the total number of valence electrons is drawn out in the bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbital, but I'm not sure how the individual atoms are drawn out in the diagram. For example...

In the textbook when it begins to talk about hybridization it mentions a few equations. These equations include the s-orbitals and s-orbitals. For example, some of the equations were h1=s+px+py+pz and h2=s-px-py+pz. I don't understand specifically what these equations show us about hybrid orbital or...

I understand that elements with a half full or full subshell are more stable, but I don't understand when you're allowed to do this. Is it just with elements with a subshell of 3d^4 4s^2, or 3d^9 4s^2, that are able to take an electron from the s-orbital and put it in the d-orbital?

In our Monday lecture we went over valence shells and their octet guidelines. I understand that depending on how many electrons are present in a bond that you add a certain number of orbital. For example, for 8 electrons it would be s^2p^6. What I didn't understand is when it was mentioned that the ...

So #67 is asking which electron out of the two has a greater electron affinity. You just need to know that electron affinity increases up and to the right of the periodic table. One way ton look at it is by comparing it to electrostatic attraction. Electrostatic attraction has the same pattern on th...

The question says to find the energy per photon emitted with the given information of a 60W light bulb emitting 11 J of energy with a wavelength of 1850 nm in 1 sec. I know that watts have the units of J/s but I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply this information to the problem to help me so...

To find the energy with the information already given you need to manipulate the known formulas. So from E=hv you use c=(lambda)v to change the v in E=hv to c/lambda. so now you have E=hc/lambda. inverse lambda is the same as 1/lambda which is why it is under the hc. lambda is also the symbol used f...
