Re: Final Exam Details and Review Sessions Winter 2017

Will the final be heavier on Organic Chemistry (because we've been tested less on it) or are all topics equally weighted?

Re: Plugging in #s for Q [ENDORSED]

What if both pressure and molarity are involved? Like in problem 14.37 c?

Pt (s) | Cl2 (g, 250 Torr) | HCl (aq, 1.0M) || HCl (aq, 0.85M) | H2 (g, 125 Torr) | Pt (s)

Can you please explain how we're supposed to plug in values for Q if this was the case?

In determining the VSEPR shape of the molecule, do we use the lewis structure that follows the octet rule or the better structure that reduces the formal charges to it's lowest values or does it not matter?
