Re: When to disregard -x in equilibrium formula?
I think it's after you assume to disregard it and proceed to find out what "x" is. You then calculate it as a percentage of the initial M value. If it's less than 5% of the initial molarity then it's okay to disregard it. If not, use quadratic.

Quiz 3 Prep2 #5
You are studying the following reaction at high temperatures, N2+H2==> NH3
In one of your experiments at 500 K you find at equilibrium:
NH3 Partial pressure= .887
H2= .168
N2= .0561
Determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 500K.

Re: Bond Character of Fluorine
The second answer is right (2sp3), because you still use hybridization to form the sp hybrid orbital. The s orbital and two of the p orbitals are already full with Flourine's valence electrons, while the one electron left in the third p orbital has room for one more electron (the one bond that Flour...

Re: General Question [ENDORSED]
It's the net positive charge of valence electrons, basically how much pull protons have on the outermost electrons. Decreases with increase of levels.

Re: Question 2.29 from the textbook [ENDORSED]
No electrons in the same shell can have the exact same set of quantum numbers. So the quantum numbers that have a maximum number of 2 electrons (b and d) can only have two because they are limited in their capacity to differentiate between the given quantum numbers; in other words, they have less ro...

Re: Post Module Question [ENDORSED]
The speed of the electron can not be faster than the speed of light, therefore if it the speed is a higher number than the speed of light the speed calculated would be unreasonable.

Re: Rounding
When I did this problem, the number of moles I calculated for oxygen (after dividing each element's number of moles by the smallest number) was 2.99. I think you were just maybe not being exact enough in your calculations; try to write out more than 2 decimal points of the molar mass. Hope that helps!

Mass Always Equal?
If the mass of a chemical reaction never changes from the initial reactants to the final product, in what aspect does the limiting reactant affect the reaction?
