In a neuron (a nerve cell), the concentration of K ions inside the cell is about 20–30 times as great as that outside. What potential difference between the inside and the outside of the cell would you expect to measure if the difference is due only to the imbalance of potassium ions? The solution s...

Given:
Step 1: ClO+O2->ClO2+O
Step 2: ClO+O->ClO2
How do I go about finding the rate law for step 2? I think we are suppose to get rid of the oxygen in the final rate law because it is an intermediate but how do I do so? Thanks in advance.

The equation given is PCl3+Cl2->PCl5 and the standard gibbs free is given for PCl5 as -305 kJ/mol and PCl3 is -267.8 kJ/mol. The part I am confused about is when the explanation says to calculate delta G of the reaction using only the gibbs free for PCl5 and PCl3. Why is the gibbs free energy of Cl2...

Can a phenol functional group also be considered an alcohol functional group because the phenol is a hydroxy attached to a benzene ring?

The question asks for the reverse activation energy. The explanation says that because it is an exothermic reaction, it will have a reverse activation energy of delta enthalpy+the forward activation energy. How did they get this equation and will we need to know this on the final?

On page 23 of the green organic book, there is an example of 1-sec-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane. Is it possible to also write the compound as
1-(2-butyl)-4-methylcyclohexane? I thought that since the butyl substituent is attached to cyclohexane at its second carbon, I can write 2-butyl.

Can someone explain part c? I thought the answer was step two but the answer is step one.

Lets say there are 3 transition states in a reaction, if a catalyst is added to the slowest step, what is its effect on the overall rate reaction versus when a catalyst is added to the fastest step.

The questions asks for the product of the reaction of 2-butene with Cl2 and the answer is 2,3-dichlorobutane.

Is there a reason why the two chlorines bond with the two carbons that have the double bond?

Why are both of the structures nucleophiles? One structure is a 1,3,5-cyclohexene(i could be wrong in naming this) and the other is CH3OCH3.

Can someone explain line structures when there are horizontal lines that vary in length? What is the purpose of these and how do I learn how to draw them? (For reference, I'm asking because the self-test 1.2B asks a question about the line structure for propyne.)

Why do we look at experiment 1 where the initial rate is 8.7? I thought we would look at the initial rate in experiment 2 because the initial concentration changes from experiment 2 to 3.

Write the half-reactions and devise a galvanic cell (write a cell diagram) to study each of the following reactions: (c) Cd(s)+2 Ni(OH)3(s)->Cd(OH)2(s)+2 Ni(OH)2(s), the reaction in the nickel–cadmium cell My question is why is the cell diagram written as Cd(s)|Cd(OH)2(s)|KOH(aq)||Ni(OH)3(s)|Ni(OH)2...

Identify the elements undergoing changes in oxidation state and indicate the initial and final oxidation numbers for these elements.
H(plus one charge)+Cr2O7(minus two charge)+C5H5OH->Cr3(plus three charge)+C2H4O+H2O

I understand how Cr is reduced from 6+ to 3+ but how is C oxidized from 2- to 1-?

The question asks to solve for Ka of HF given the standard cell potentials: F2+2H(plus one charge) +2e->2HF E knot=3.03 V F2+2e->2F(minus one charge) E knot=2.87 V I understand how to use the formula to solve for K but I don't understand how the cathode and anode are determined. In the solution, HF ...

Arrange the following in order of increasing standard molar entropy: CHF3(g), CF4(g), CH3F(g), CH2F2(g) The answer says it is CH3F<CH2F2<CHF3<CF4 But why does CF4 have the largest molar entropy when its carbon atom is surrounded by 4 fluorine atoms? Shouldn't that indicate its number of possible pos...

Both do have one mole but container A has monatomic molecules while container c has diatomic molecules. The number of particles is greater in in container A because each particle is counted as an individual atom while diatomic molecules need two particles to create a molecule.

Without performing any calculations, predict whether there is an increase or a decrease in entropy for each of the following processes: (a) Cl2(g)+H2O(l)->HCl(aq)+HClO(aq) The solution manual says entropy decreases because the number of moles of gas is less on the product side but why do they only l...

Part A gives us the formula 2H2S(g)+O2(g)->2S(s)+2H2O(l) and we know from part b of the equation that the enthalpy for 60 kg of sulfur is -4.96x10^5 kJ. Part c asks would the reactor need to be cooled or heated to maintain a constant temperature? Specifically, my question is what exactly is a reactor?

How or where do I find the heat capacity for copper?

Where can I find the heat capacity value for H2O as a solid ? The solution manual says the q(heat capacity) equation for H2O solid should be 42.30g(2.03)(0+5.04)=432.95 J where 2.03 is the heat capacity but I have no idea where this value came from.

I understand that in a equation, acid+base<->conjugate acid+conjugate base, the acid by the Bronsted definition, donates a proton to the base, but what does the conjugate bases or conjugate acids do? Do they follow the Lewis or Bronsted definitions of an acid or base? I can't see the relationship.

If Q =1.0 for the reaction N2(g)+O2(g)->2 NO(g) at 25 C, will the reaction have a tendency to form products or reactants, or will it be at equilibrium?
In the solution manual, K is calculated by referring to Appendix 2A, but it that the only way to solve this problem?

For clarification, is the reason why position and momentum can not be know at the same time because light from an ejected electron affects both simultaneously?

I believe we can not subtract the total moles of the three compounds/element from the given caffeine mass because moles and masses are different units. Instead, we can subtract the total mass of C, H, and N from the given caffeine mass to find the mass of oxygen. We know to find oxygen because the p...
