Khan Academy

Hey guys, I'm sure many of you already know of this resource, but Khan Academy is great for giving you a quick overview of most of the topics we've covered in Chem 14B. The videos are short and informative so if you need a refresher before going to a review session, check it out. PRO TIP: Sal from K...

Self-Test 8.12B

"The reaction 4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) was investigated as part of a study on using aluminum powder as a rocket fuel. It was found that 1.000 mol Al produced 3378 kJ of heat in this reaction under constant-pressure conditions at 1000. degrees Celsius. What is the change in internal energy ...

Re: Chapter 8 problem #9

Hi, I was also wondering this and, after looking it up, I think this may be right: So after finding the area and multiplying it with the distance we end up with: 141.1 cm^3 We then multiply 141.1 cm^3 with 2.00 atm to get 282.8 cm^3*atm. Recall that 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 mL. 1 mL*atm = 0.101325 Joule...

Drawings in Course Reader?

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this or if it's only my course reader, but I was flipping through the practice tests and on page 139, there's some drawings of Pokémon?? I tried to erase it but I think it may actually be printed on the page.

Just wanted to bring that to someone's attention.

14A to 14B Changes in Chem Community

I was unclear on how Chem Community would transition if we were in 14A last quarter. Would the server know to give us credit for 14B or would we have to sign up again, etc.? When I signed in right now, I changed my username to include my discussion section so does that satisfy any and all things I n...

Re: Bruincast

Also, if after you have downloaded Microsoft Silverlight and the Webcast still insists that you need to download the program, try using the Internet Explorer browser instead.

Best of luck.
