I am extremely appreciative of all of the review sessions that you have organized; it really goes to show how much you care about your students' success. Thanks aga...

Question on how many steps involved in a rxn:
Are the number of steps directly related to how many atoms are moving and/or how many bonds are broken or formed?

Why is Ochem so difficult?

Those who study it have alkynes of trouble!

Re: Disregarding Products and Focusing on Reactants

If we're only worrying about the rate of reaction going forward, then iirc the reactants matter more since that's what the eventual concentration of the products relies on

Did you know you could cool yourself to around -273'C

You'd probably still be 0K

Multi step problems [ENDORSED]

In the multi-step problems, such as calculating net delta U when ice (@ -20'C) is heated to water, and then steam (at 150'C), what are the different steps and calculations necessary?

Re: Closed system

But in trying to calculate something, do we assume the system is closed or isolated?

Re: Oxoacids

If I'm not mistaken, ClOH is more acidic, because the Cl is more electronegaive, so it spreads the negative charge throughout the molecule, making it more stable.

Why did the chemists lose an electron?

They weren't keeping an ion them!

Re: Electron Affinity

From the internet

"Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron"

I'm relatively certain that any equations or constants required for the quiz will be given before the quiz.
