Course Reader Final Practice "2016 Final" Q4 part B
4a.jpg 4a2.jpg So I was able to do part A for this problem but when it came to part B I did not know exactly what to do to find the rate limiting step and I am dear need of help on this. I don't know if I am overthinking this or not but I need clarification on what steps to take. Q4 B: "Which ...

Re: 15.9 [ENDORSED]
So does this mean that overall rate of a reaction is given in mol.L -1 .s -1 and the rate constant K will depend on the given concentration to cancel out units and obtain the rate given in a problem? Or is it more so just dependent on the order of the reaction and the rate law used? I am still confu...

Re: Cell Diagram Conventions [ENDORSED]
I have seen that when it comes to cell diagrams the elements in the same states (aq,l, g, etc) are not separated by a single line but by a comma. but what happens when you get multiple states on the anode side or cathode side? If there are three states such as solid, liquid, and gas, is there a spec...

Cathodes and Anodes [ENDORSED]
I have been doing problems for electrochemistry and I am having difficulty knowing which of the redox reactions to name as the cathode or anode. Could someone please provide me with the reasoning behind how to identify which element as cathode or anode??

Transition Metal Cations and H2O
Why is it that despite the fact that Transition Metal Cations in solutions form complexes with H2O but when you add thing such as NH3 or KCN or NaCl that they replace the H2O Ligands? Shouldn't the fact that H2O has two pairs of electrons that H2O would be more electron rich than NH3, HCN, or NaCl a...

Molecular Shape and Polarity
How can you determine polarity based off of the shape of a compound? I could not understand exactly why Phosphorus trichloride was polar and not nonpolar when I encountered it on one of the practice midterms.
