If you're referring to question 2b from Quiz 1, you can use the formula W = -nRTln(v2/v1) and plug in the given values, as indicated by the information on Course Reader p. 31.

This can also be distinguished by a positive or negative standard reaction Gibbs free energy value. If this value is negative, it is a favorable exergonic reaction. If the value is positive, there is an unfavorable endergonic reaction.

Alkyl halides are compounds where the H atoms normally bonded to C are replaced by halogens, so CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CH3Br, etc.

Carbonyls are compounds that have CO functional groups replace H atoms, so (CH3)2CO, CH3CO, CH2(CO)2, etc.

On page 28, it says carbon numbering is first determined by the double bond, then by the alkyl substituents. So the numbering of the carbon bonds goes counterclockwise so that the double bonds include the lower numbered carbon atoms (1-2 and 4-5) and the functional group also still included the lowe...

Dr. Lavelle waits until the end of the quarter when the scores from the 3 quizzes, midterm, online discussion, and final are totaled up (out of 400 points) and assigns grades based on the class average.

In part B, 84 kJ/mol was the enthalpy of the reaction for 2 moles of H2O, so 42 kJ/mol is the standard enthalpy for 1 mole of H2O, which you would then use as the value of standard enthalpy in calculating the the standard enthalpy of formation of HI.

The course reader uses "mantissa" when explaining sig figs for logarithm problems. This term refers to the digits after the decimal point, so since 10^2.18 has 2 sig figs after the decimal point, there will be 2 sig figs in the final decimal answer written in scientific notation, 1.5x10^2.

I believe Chemistry Moderator posted in previous threads indicating that answers would not be posted in order to encourage students to work together and determine the correct answers.

There are additional significant figure examples about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as rounding and logarithms on pages 122-123 in the Course Reader.

Hello, I believe they used those reactions (O2 --> O2, Br2 --> Br2) since they demonstrate that the standard enthalpy of formation is 0. Since the reactants and products are identical, as you mentioned, no additional energy is needed to break or form bonds, and therefore no heat is being absorbed or...

I believe Bronsted acids and bases concern protons, while Lewis acids and bases concern electrons. A Bronsted base will accept a proton while a Lewis acid will accept an electron pair.

Since HF has a smaller atomic bond, wouldn't that mean it has a shorter bond length, which is why it is a weaker acid and harder to break the bond?

Hello! I'm up for studying this week! My lounge probably isn't the most ideal as it's usually filled with people studying.

Good luck with finals, everyone!

I asked the guy sitting next to me in lecture yesterday if he had any Sodium Hypobromite…
He said NaBrO. :(

I just checked my grades on UCLA and it has my Quiz 1 score posted. MyUCLA > Classes > Exam and Homework Grades

Hello Parsia,

Pb has 4 valence electrons since its valence shell (n=6) has 4 electrons. The 6s and 6p sub-shells are both holding 2 electrons, which means the 6s orbital is full, but the 6p orbitals still have room for 4 additional electrons.

My high school chemistry teacher taught us "King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk", so pretty similar to what everyone else has been suggesting.

During my discussion session yesterday, my TA didn't mention anything about scantrons and said we could complete our quiz in pen so I am assuming we don't need to purchase Scantrons. Do you know where to purchase Scrantons if we end up needing them for a future exam?

Hello everyone!

I'm from Rieber Terrace, but it appears we don't have a study group at this time. I'm interested joining you all and wanted to know the next time you were planning to get together. Thanks!
