The main carbon chain is a propane because there is an -OH functional group attached to the second carbon, so the ending will be propanol. The 3 carbons are numbered from right to left, so the cyclohexyl is attached to the first carbon, and the methyl is attached to the second carbon. The cyclohexyl...

I believe my TA told us that we will only have to deal with one functional group as a substituent!

Hi Chelsey!! I don't think you have to put a prefix indicating the amount of double or triple bonds that are present in a cyclo-alkene/alkyne; the numbering in front of the name should be enough to indicate the position and amount of double or triple bonds involved in the molecule. Actually, a pref...

The prefixes 'iso-' and 'neo-' are used for common naming instead of IUPAC naming; 'iso-' being used when there are 4 or less carbons, and 'neo-' when there are five or more. Common naming doesn't follow the rule of numbering the longest carbon chain, but instead counts all of the carbons. Using com...

Lone pairs should be included in hybridization, because they are included in the number of regions of electron density.
However, I think that you don't need to mention them when naming the shape, although it does alter the structure of the molecules.

Allison Suzuki 2B

Nucleophiles are negatively charged and donate electrons, while electrophiles are positively charged and are attracted to electrons.

Dr. Lavelle mentioned in a post that the quiz will only cover up to pg. 73, so there shouldn't be any problems about the material after that!

Allison Suzuki 2B

I think you'll always include H⁺ and OH^- in the cell diagrams because they contribute to the overall charge, but since H₂O has no charge it is not included.

Usually, the only time we have really needed to use fractions for balancing equations is if we are calculating the standard enthalpy of formation; that is just so the manipulated equations will look like the final. Besides that, we will balance equations with integers.

The quiz will cover chapters 8, 9, and part of 11.

The problem I think you're referring to is #73a, but you are looking at the answer to #73b? The easiest way to approach these problems is to draw out the molecular structures, then you can compare the differences between the reactants and the products. For this problem, there will be 3 carbon-carbon...

You only have to reverse the equation so the molecules will match the final equation. For example, since you were left with HBr on the reactants side of the equation, you would reverse the equation so that HBr will be on the product side.

Allison Suzuki 2B

Also, the reason why the solutions have some of the coefficients as fractions is so that the equations, when added together, match the appearance of the final equation that is given.

If you scroll a little bit down when you're asking/answering a question, there is a box that says "attachments", and you can upload a picture there or drag the file into the message box! Hope this helps

Usually for my calculations I include about 4-5 places after the decimal for each step, then for the final answer round to however many significant figures the problem calls for.

Allison Suzuki 2B

In the problem, you're given two values: 0.245 mol SO 3 and 0.240 mol SO 2 . The volume is 1.00 L, so your concentration will be of the same values. When you create your ICE table, the reaction initially starts off with none of the product (SO 2 ), and ends up with 0.240, you can conclude that the c...

You know the reaction is endothermic because between the first and second image, it appears that several of the molecules have broken apart. This means that heat must have been added to the container, thus breaking the chemical bonds of the molecules. And when heat is added, that reaction is endothe...

The only compounds that should end in -ate are the ones that have a negative charge. So if a compound looks like [xx]^2-, it will have the suffix -ate.

Hope this helps!

Allison Suzuki 2B

They're exactly the same compounds, just the ones ending in -ido are from the new IUPAC naming.

Allison Suzuki 2B

Trans and cis molecules are isomers, meaning that they have the same molecular formula, and the basic difference between these molecules is the placement of its atoms. Also, trans molecules are non-polar while cis molecules are polar.

Allison Suzuki 2B

I think it should actually be written as dsp³, but other than that your answer is correct.

Allison Suzuki 2B

So for #57c, by having three double bonds, the formal charge for the molecule is 0. If there were two double bonds, the overall charge on the molecule would be +2. Having more double bonds just reduces the formal charge of the molecule, since you want to be as close to 0 as possible. For #99, the re...

You only need to take the d into consideration when determining the number of orbitals, which in this case, is 5.

Allison Suzuki 2B

When using significant figures during addition and subtraction, you have to round to the decimal place of the least accurate number.

Allison Suzuki 2B

You did all of the work correctly, but just multiplied by the wrong factor to get the molecular formula. You said you ended up with C=1, H=2.38, and O=1, but you should round 2.38 up to 2.4 so when you multiply everything by 5, you should get C5H12O5. If you check the molar mass, it equals 152.15

Allison Suzuki 2B

There are two areas in the textbook that have some useful information on sig figs. In the front of the book pg. F10 has the definition and some examples, and the appendix in the back (A5) has some more detail on significant figures!
