Winter 2016 Q3C (p.207)

This question asks for us to write out the cell diagram for the redox reaction, but why does the answer include AGBr(s) instead of Ag+(aq)? Isn't it supposed to be the dissociated ion and not the entire solid product? Thank you!

Re: Chapter 15 Question 81

Ok, knowing that the given information is K=326 and k(attach)=7.4x10^7 L/mol*s, you can use the equation: K = k(forward)/k(reverse) or K = k(attach)/k(loss). The rate constant of the loss of unreacted substrate will be equal to k(loss) = k(attach/K = (7.4x10^7 L/mol*s)/326 = 2.3x10^5 L/mol*s. Hope t...

Re: Homework Help 15.13

a) Since, the units for the initial reaction rate is mol*L-1*s-1, we have to take the given values for H2 and I2 and convert them. Plugged into the reaction rate formula of rate= k*[H2]*[I2], you will get rate = (0.063 \frac{L}{mol*s})(\frac{0.52g H2}{0.750 L})(\frac{1 mol H2}{2....

9.59

For part a of this problem, I used the enthalpy formula, , and the same formula to calculate the entropy, but my free energy final calculation is still off. Is there a step that I am missing in the problem?

Re: Significant Figure [ENDORSED]

If I remember correctly, if you took Chem 14A with Lavelle, or know someone who has the old course reader on them, there should be one/two pages in the front of the course reader that specifically highlights what he expects from us for sig.figs. Additionally, I think the maximum points that can get ...

Re: Question 8.25

Because the variable that you are plugging in the 7.32 C is for the CHANGE in temperature, it doesn't matter if you convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Kelvin, the reaction is still raised by 7.32 degrees, regardless of the type of the scale of temperature behind it. The solutions manual just ch...

Re: 2015 final Q7A

Since you know that Ka is [HCO3-][H3O+]/[H2CO3], plug in your known values of Ka and [H3O+], and get all the numerical values on one side. What you have left on the other side is [HCO3-]/[H2CO3], the ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid. Solve and you have the answer!

Re: When Should I use the ICE table?

I assume so because the ICE box is a concept that is heavily incorporated into the course reader and the practice problems we see in the workbook quizzes.

Re: Textbook 11.7 (a)

The problem asks us to see when the rate of decomposition of the X2 molecules has reached equilibrium. In Flask 1 and 2, the X2 molecules continue to dissociate into X molecules. In Flask 3, about half of the X2 molecules have dissociated. Since the number of X2 molecules and X molecules don't chang...

Re: Midterm question #3A

Because Joules is the standard unit for the photoelectric experiment, you need to convert the work function (threshold energy) from kJ/mol to just J. Since Avogadro's constant's units are 1/mol, dividing kJ/mol by 1/mol will cancel out the mol unit, leaving you with just kJ to convert to J to get th...

Re: s and p hybridization

I think that we don't say s^2 because it only has one orbital available to hybridize, while p has three orbitals (px, py, and pz) available to hybridize.

Re: Quiz 2

I think that because the geometry of molecules is not going to be on the test, you just have to use your formal charge calculations for each atom to find the most stable combination of bonds. The correct Lewis structure should be the one that has the most stability in its bonds.
