A chemist constructs two voltaic cells, each with a standard hydrogen electrode in one compartment. One cell also contains a Pb/Pb+ half-cell; the other contains a Cu/Cu2+ half-cell. Pb2+ + 2e- -> Pb E= -0.13 V Cu2+ + 2e- -> Cu E= 0.34V B. Which electrode in each cell is the anode? Can someone pleas...

Functional groups have priority over double/triple bonds and substituents, you would start numbering there.

H2O is not an electrophile because it is has lone pairs on the central atom and is electron rich. The central atom oxygen is also much more electronegative than the two hydrogen atoms which makes it available to donate electrons- thus, making H2O an nucleophile. OH- is also a nucleophile.

For the formula K= k/k', when you are given K (equilibrium constant) and k' (rate constant of the reverse reaction) and you have to determine the the rate constant of the forward reaction, k, are you supposed to look at the rate law of the forward reaction to determine the order- which will therefor...

A ketone can never be at the end of a carbon chain because it is bonded to two carbons or two groups- so it might be somewhere in the middle of a carbon chain. You can't end a carbon chain with a C because it has to have 4 bonds. On the other hand, an aldehyde is bonded to one or two hydrogens; this...

Answers A, B, and C are correct. A substrate binds to the enzyme at its active site, and as the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with. When there are enough substrates, the determining factor of the reaction rate depends...

Consider the cell Ag(z)|Ag+(aq, 5.0mmol/L)||Ag+(aq, 0.15 mol/L)| Ag(s). Can this cell do work at room temperature? If so, what is the maximum work in KJ that it can perform (per mole of Ag)? The solution says that Since [Ag+]anode < [Ag+]cathode, the ratio is less than 1 and E>0, so the cell can do ...

Yes. The anode is considered negative and the cathode is considered positive in a galvanic cell. This makes sense because the anode is the source of electrons and the cathode is where the electrons flow to.

When doing bond enthalpy problems, how do you know which bonds to break and which ones to form?

For the questions about measuring heat transfer, why is it that the equations for delta H are sometimes mC(delta T) and some are nC(delta T)? How would you know which equation to use?

Meghna Patel 2L

The equation for non-phase change (the sloped part of the graph) is Q= (m)(C)( delta T)

Xe actually does not follow the octet rule; since it has a 4d sub-level, it can have more than 8 electrons. Since F cannot violate the octet rule, each fluorine atom can only form one bond with Xe to reach an octet. If two electrons of Xe are used, you are left with 3 lone pairs.

When adding and subtracting I believe you are supposed to round the answer to the smallest decimal place.
