I'm triene, but I'm diene (;

You don't have to, but make sure that if you draw in the C-H bonds to write "H" or else it looks like a methyl group.

Organic chemistry is difficult. Those who study it have alkynes of trouble.

On the same topic, I currently have Dicussion 2O (Thursday from 4-4:50), but I really need the Tuesday 1-1:50 discussion or any other discussion on Tuesday. Can anyone switch with me?

I don't think I quite understand what you're saying, but from what I do understand I think so. You are essentially trying to write a rate law (of the slow step) by using the fast step to get rid of the intermediates. In the end, you shouldn't have any intermediates or any parts of the fast reactions...

They are all different relationships between concentration and rate. Depending on which order the reaction is, you will get different predictions of how fast the reaction is going. Essentially, they are different reaction speed trends. Sorry if this was kind of confusing!

They do because one is +1 and the other is -1, so they add up to zero. Is there a specific question that you're referencing?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure residual entropy is the entropy at T=0K. Because although the third law states that deltaS=0 at T=0K, this is theoretical and can only happen if the substance is a perfect crystal. So, in reality, there will be some entropy.

One of the conditions when internal energy is zero is when the system has no temperature change, more specifically when the question says "isothermal". But can't work still occur, so the internal energy would not be zero? Yes, you can still have a value for work, but the energy lost as wo...

To add on to the last post, it's when you don't have a (l)/(s) conductor. This confused me at first because sometimes you'll have a liquid, but still need an inert electrode. This is because the liquid MUST be a conductor (so if it isn't, you still need an inert electrode). I hope you found this hel...

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can use either as long as you're consistent in all of the parts.

C(gr) is interchangeable with Pt(s) since both serve as inert electrodes. They are needed to carry the electrons into/out of the electrode compartment. You pretty much need one whenever you have a hydrogen electrode. I hope that was helpful!

The quizzes vary from day to day, so I would ask your TA or someone in your discussion.

For #6, why does the answer have 3 sig figs? We didn't use the 298.K, so shouldn't the sig figs be 4 (for 2580kJ and -2220.kJ/mol)?

Hannah_El-Sabrout_2K

It's least because the whole point of sig figs is to maintain accuracy. The reason you go with the lowest sig figs is because for that number you are not sure about the other digits after it (ex. 4.5, you don't know what comes after the 5 --- it might be 4.5006), so you can't be sure about the accur...

You are right, the difference between the two is that delta G naught is at standard conditions. The reason Professor Lavelle emphasized it is because delta G naught is always the same because it is referring to when the reactants/products are at standard temperature/pressure. As the rxn goes towards...

Sig figs are the digits which give us useful information about the accuracy of a measurement. The rules for the are that non-zero digits are always significant, any zeros between two significant digits are significant and a final zero/trailing zeros in the decimal portion are significant. Examples: ...

Hannah_El-Sabrout_2K

I think it depends on what the specific question tells you.
