Let's say the name of a certain Alkene is 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopenta-1,3-diene. What is the use of using diene in this name? Is this name the same as naming it 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopent-1,3-ene?

Are there multiple ways of drawing the same, correct line structure?
Does it matter whether you start the first diagonal line from the top or bottom?

Is the slow step in electrophilic addition always the first step or the step with the highest activation energy barrier?

How do you determine where to put the dashes within the name of the organic compound? I think there are several instances where you would use one, but I just wanted some clarification.

This question asks us to write the cell diagram notation for the redox reaction, and I was told the order didn't matter for the components of the cell. I put the anode on the left of the cell diagram and the cathode on the right, but the components of the redox reaction are apparently in the wrong o...

O2 (g) --> OH- (aq) Basically when you look at this half reaction you want to try to balance the oxygens on both sides because there are two on the left and one on the right. You try doing this by doubling the about of OH-. Now you have... O2 (g) --> 2OH- (aq) Then you want to balance the hydrogens ...

Sometimes n represents the number of electrons in the half reaction, but other times it is the change in the moles throughout the reaction. Could it be either or is it really just one? If you are not told to find the half reactions of the redox equation, do you have to find them anyway to find n if ...

Working in an electrochemistry lab seems to show great potential.

When writing a cell diagram, I understand that the anode is written before the cathode, but in what order do the products and reactants have to be written? When do you use commas instead of vertice lines?

Why is it that at 0 K the entropy of a crystal becomes zero? What does this temperature have to do with the crystals structure?

Hi.
If delta S of a reversible system= q(reversible)/T, then does that mean for an irreversible system -q(irreversible)/T? If so, why or why not. Don't really understand the logic behind this equation.

Thank you.

When finding standard rxn enthalpy it doesn't really matter if you use KJ/mol or just KJ (pretty sure my TA confirmed in class that both can be used and in the course reader it uses just KJ sometimes when finding the standard rxn enthalpy), but what you do have to make sure is labeled in KJ/mole is ...

Exothermic reactions?
I studied them before they were cool. Pshht

If H2 is decreased then the equation shifts to the left in order to go back to equilibrium. This is because if the H2 concentration in the reaction decreases, then the product side of the equation (NH3) must begin to dissociate more readily in order to increase the concentration of the reactants and...

Are pKa and pKb measured on a scale of 0 to 14?

Also, does smaller pKb indicate a more basic base and the same for an acid with its pKa?

Thanks

Tara_Hekmati_3B

We know this because if you had a strong acid, then the acid would dissociate completely in the reaction and there would be no more reactant left. Therefore, the dissociation constant (products/reactants) would have a zero in the denominator and is undefined. This shows why strong acids don't have a...

I understand this rule, but for ligands with names that don't match their formulas like ammine and ethylenediamine, do you put the coordination compound formula in alphabetical order based on the name of the ligand or it's formula?

The Workbook practice quiz includes question that have not been covered in the first 4 pages of the equilibrium section of the Course Reader. Do we have to know these types of questions for quiz 3?

Lmk! Thanks!

Do hallogens normally stick to the octet guideline when they're surrounding the central and surrounding atom(s)? Or does that change when it's a central atom?

I understand the formal charge equation and how it's found for each atom, but what exactly is formal charge? And what is it used for?

Do we have to know the polyatomic ions for the quiz this week? Also do we have to know how to name compounds?

Tara_Hekmati_3B

Do neutrons act like electrons when they pass through a crystal? Meaning do they diffract and do they have wavelike properties?

Tara_Hekmati_3B

OK thanks, so there's no colorations between the photons and the frequency, right? because one looks at light on a smaller scale and the other is on a bigger scale.

Tara_Hekmati_3B

So I understand that the intensity of energy is related to the number of photons present, but then why does the energy equation consider frequency (E=vh)?
