Organic molecule formulas

Hi,

Does anyone know if we supposed to memorize all the general molecular formulas between alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and all the cyclo structures?
Thanks in advance.

Naming alkenes [ENDORSED]

Hello, I have a question regarding the naming of an alkene. On page 12 of the organic chemistry textbook there is a molecule named 1,3-But-a-diene. I understand the prefix signifies the 4 carbon parent chain and the diene represents the 2 carbon carbon double bonds on carbon 1 and 3, but what does t...

Ambident Nucleophile [ENDORSED]

Hello,

I was wondering what is the key determining factor that allows some molecule to be ambident nucleophiles whereas others are not so easily characterized that way?
Thanks in advance.

Catalyst

Hello,

I am a little uncertain about catalysts and rate laws. I understand they do not alter the rate constant in a zero order reaction as seen in the course reader but do they affect rate laws in higher orders?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can someone explain the difference between the rate constants k and k prime.
Thanks in advance.

Nernst Equation [ENDORSED]

Can someone please explain why problem 14.97 assumes the cell potential is negative, indicating a non galvanic cell? The question never states electrolysis occurs.

Thanks in advance

Calculating entropy

Hi, I am having a difficulty understanding which equation to use when calculating the change in entropy when temperature changes. The first equation being n*R*natural log(T2/T1) and the second equation is n* Cs(specific heat)*natural log(T2/T1)? Can anyone explain which conditions are needed to use ...

Units for Gibbs free energy

Does anyone know if the standard Gibbs free energy of a reaction should be written in joules per mole or just joules? Is it similar to how we address the units for standard reaction enthalpies?

Thanks

Re: Post All Chemistry Jokes Here

If I were an endothermic chemical reaction at equilibrium, you would push me to the right because you are hot:)

Thermochemistry

Hey guys, I'm slightly confused on this topic. What is the difference between the standard enthalpy of a reaction versus the standard enthalpy of formation?
Can someone please explain.
Thanks.
