Why does the second organic molecule have an E in it? 8 know E means that the atoms with the highest atomic number are opposite of each other but which atoms are being compared in the molecule?

1.26

I got the name correctly; however, I don't understand why there is a E. I know E means that the groups are across from each other. But what groups are identical and across from each other in that alkene?

Which structure?

When it asks to "draw the structure," are we expected to draw the line structure or Lewis structure?

Nucleophilic strength

Does nucleophiloc strength rely on polarizability? And if yes, does polarizability increase down a group?

Midterm 2015 #6

Given these following reduction half reactions:
I2(S) + 2e- -> 2I-(aq) E• = 0.54v
Cl2(g) + 2e- -> 2Cl-(aq) E• = 1.36
Calculate E•, deltaG• and k at 25•C
In order to determine the K, the solution says to use DeltaG•= -RTlnK

Why can't we use E• = RT/nF lnK? I used that and got a different answer

#75

Use the bond enthalpies in tables 8.6 and 8.7 to estimate the reaction enthalpy for CH3CHCH2(g) +H2O(g) --> CH3CH(OH)CH3(g). I know for the bonds broken, it's one double bond between two carbon atoms and 1 bond between O and H. However, for the bonds formed, I got one C-H bond, one C double bonded t...

I continue getting the answer 1.00x10^4 and don't understand what I did wrong. Also, how would I know if the answer is reasonable compared to the speed of light.
