Homework Problem 12.81

For homework problem 12.81 why can you pretend like the Ka2 doesn't exist? The Solutions manual says it's because ka2<<ka1, but can someone help me understand why that means you can pretend like it doesn't happen and just solve for x with the data for ka1?

Re: Quiz 3 prep [ENDORSED]

For the quiz should we know the names for the ligands that are bolded on the course reader or the names under "New IUPAC Convention"? Or both?

Re: quantum numbers: m [ENDORSED]

I also have a question related to this. For the example we did in class on page 63 the answer is that the electron is in the 2px state. I understand why the electron is in the p state, but why is it in the "2" p state and how do we determine if it's in the x, y or z state?
