equilibrium, reversible, delta U
I thought that I heard from or read somewhere that equilibrium meant that the reaction was also reversible and so delta U was equal to 0. but apparently that's not true? So how would we know when a reaction is reversible (without the problem specifically saying so) and therefore when delta U=0? than...

Ron mispronounces the spell, causing his balloon to expand uncontrollably. The balloon starts at 3.3 L and room temperature (298) but ends up at a whopping 9.2x10^5 L and 333K, forcing the entire class to flee the classroom. Calculate deltaS for Ron's balloon. Assume that Helium in the balloon is a ...

2014 midterm #8
The question reads:
Using standard cell potentials:
F2+2H++2e--->2HF E=3.03V
F2+2e--->2F- E=2.87
How do we know which one will be the anode and which one will be the cathode, so we know which equation to flip?
question asks to calculate the Ka for HF.
Thank you!

quiz 1 #4, finding standard rxn enthalpy
Quiz 1 #4 The question gives that, the formation of of lactic acid from glucose is C6H12O6-->2C3H6O3 and asks you to calculate the standard enthalpy change. I ended up with -113.8kJ and then divided by 2 to get -56.9kJ/mol. But this part was marked wrong, and apparently -113.8kJ is correct. Why am I...

order of galvanic cell
How do we tell which are the reactants and products in a galvanic cell? is there a particular order?
For example,
C(gr)|H2(g)||H+(aq)||Cl-(aq)|Cl2(g)|Pt(s)
is products to reactants from inward to outward, or left to right?
Thank you!

A buffer solution of volume 300.0 mL is 0.200M CH3COOH and 0.300M NaCH3CO2. The pKa for acetic acid is 4.75. In part A, the initial pH of the solution is found to be 4.93. Part B asks: what mass of NaOH would have to be dissolved in this solution to bring the pH to 6.0? the solution writes: 6.0 = 4....

Hello, when drawing molecular orbital models, how do I know what order to draw the pi and sigma energy levels in the p-orbital (the left model or the right model)? and especially if the atoms are different.

Is it more accurate to draw the Lewis structure of H3PO4 with ionic bonds since PO4^3- is a polyatomic ion, or better to draw it with covalent bonds? https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/14798839_1011685678943703_1963603948_n.jpg?oh=24008ab39260f8109db496b0484e25fb&oe=580D1151 Thank you!

Hi, how can I tell what the state of the product will be? The problem reads : Solid phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas to produce phosphorus trichloride. I looked it up and the internet says that PCl3 at room temperature is a liquid, but I can't assume that for the reaction, right?
