Re: Course Reader Final Practice "2016 Final" Q4 part B

You can see that A does not work because the intermediates do not cancel out the cumulative reactants for B should be 2CLO and O2 since one of the O2's are cancelled out So the two valid ones are B&C Student B: 2ClO; O2 Student C: 2ClO; O2 you can tell that the second steps are the rate limititi...

Re: Winter Final 2013 Q4

n is based on the total number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction. Fe2+ goes to Fe, meaning that two electrons are transferred per Fe, and there's a molar coefficient of 2, so in the net reaction we transfer 4 electrons.

Re: Is carbon monoxide an electrophile

Carbon Monixide is an Electorphile. The C=O bond is very polar and the carbonyl carbon is very positive. The carbonyl bond is very polar. There is a partial positive charge on the carbon and a partial negative charge on the oxygen, because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. This charge sepa...

Re: Ch 14 #107

To relate pH to the equations we learned, E° has to be 0 when pH 7 since pH=7 when concentration of H+ and OH- are equal to 1.0 x 10^-7 mol.L^-1 when k=1 E°is 0 take ∆G°=-nFE°and ∆G°=RTlnK and then you get E°= RT/nF (lnK) at pH=7: K= [H+]/[OH-]= 1.0 x 10^-7 mol.L^-1/1.0 x 10^-7 mol.L^-1= 1 and E = 0...

Re: Corrosive Properties

Acids tend to accept electrons, and bases tend to donate electrons. Acids contain H+ ions. They tend to grab electrons and form hydrogen gas and since metals don't have a tight grip on their electrons. They give them up and the solid metal gradually disappears. The reaction is Bases contain OH- ions...

Re: Basic, Acidic or Amphoteric [ENDORSED]

As2O3 is amphoteric because it can react with either acid or base.

Ex. Reaction with Acid
As2O3 we have: As2O3 + 6HCl --> 2AsCl3 + 3H2O

Reaction with base:
NaOH + As2O3 + 3H2O --> 2Na[As(OH)4]

Re: Atomic Spectra- Question 1.15 [ENDORSED]

I solved this problem using the Rydberg equation instead of the bohr frequency condition.

You solved the n1=1 so for a line that's 102.6 nm you use the formula v=c/(lambda) = 2.922 x10^15 s^-1

Then use the Rydberg to solve for n2 which would give you n2=3
