Re: Ring Flip: Final

If you're trying to demonstrate a ring flip I think either one would work, I'd probably go with the chair conformation though.

benzene and phenyl

the structure of benzene looks like the structure of a cyclohexene but with 3 double bonds. Why is it called benzene rather than cyclohex-1,3,5-ene?
also, what is the structure of a phenyl group?

Re: Numbering

And if you started numbering on the side chains you would have to devise a whole new way of naming compounds to keep all the names standard

Re: Numbering

if you started numbering on the side chain you would et a different name for the molecule. Starting the numbering with the longest chain just provides scientists a basic and standard way to name these molecules

reaction intermediates

this question is about the example used in section 15.7
so if we had the two elementary reactions
1. O3->O2+O
2. O3+O->O2+O2
O is a reaction intermediate
would O2 also be an intermediate?

reaction rate

In class today on page 69 it says the rate of the reaction is k[NO2]^2. why is this so? I thought the reaction rate would be k[NO2] because the coefficient of NO2 is 1

example 15.4

I get the whole process for this question and how they got the answer for k. but i don't understand the conclusion. The steps they showed concluded with them acheiving a value for k=0.04min^-1, but in the EVALUATE section it says k is equal to 6.7x10^-4. Why is this?

example 14.9

in example 14.9 why is the nr value equal to 2? shouldn't it be 1 as indicated by the redox reaction equation?

Re: Balancing Redox Reactions in Basic Solution

This can be answered by the tool box 14.1 in the book. step 1 identify the species being oxidized and the species being reduced from the changes in their oxidation numbers. step 2 Write the two skeletal (unbalanced) equations for the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. step 3 Balance all element...

Re: Reversible vs Irreversible

An example of a reversible reaction would be when you have a cylinder with a piston. And this container is filled with gas. now when this gas pushes on the piston it does work. The work this gas does on the piston is defined as reversible when the resistance the gas faces is always equal to the forc...

calculating entropy of vaporization

In example 9.6 you're supposed to add up the enthalpy required to bring the acetone form temp. 296k to 329.4k, the enthalpy required to vaporize the acetone, and the enthalpy lost when you bring the vapor's temperature back down to 296k. I don't understand the last step. why do we need to add this e...

In the book it says that enthalpy is a state function. What does this mean? What is a state function?
