On this question, the second example, I am very confused as to the order in which they put the name? Why is it not 3-chloro-1-(2-methylpropan-2-ol) cycloheptane?
Thanks!

Hi, so I understand how to draw the conformations when given the names cis or trans, but if the question does not specify, and only asks for the most stable conformation, how would you determine that? Is it safe to assume that in most cases it will be trans and that the largest substituent is equato...

On part a of this question, it asked you to calculate the factor by which the rate of the reaction increased at 298K. This was found to be 6x10^8. But, of part b, it asked you to calculate the same thing but at 350K. The solution manual says that the rate decreased with the increase in temperature. ...

I am having some trouble understanding which atoms donate electrons to form bonds for this reaction: CH3Br + OH- in equilibrium with CH3OH + BR-.
The problem says that it is a mechanism but I am having trouble with coming up with the first step!
Thanks!

How are temperature and Ea related?

The first step is to always separate the overall even reaction into an oxidation and reduction reaction. You can tell what substances are being oxidized and reduced by calculating their oxidation numbers beforehand in the given equation and seeing which species are losing and which are gaining elect...

The purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the reactions neutral so they can continue to pass electrons from anode to cathode. It keeps the anode from becoming too positive and the cathode from becoming too negative, otherwise the cell will stop working. The negative ions of the salt go to the anode ...

Yes, I believe that when a system is at Equilibrium, delta G is zero. This is because at equilibrium, K would be equal to 1, causing the equation delta G=-RTlnK to equal zero because the ln1 is zero.

Molar heat capacity is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Since NO2 is a stable molecule, it needs more energy in order to raise its temperature. NO is a radical, and very unstable, so its bonds are not very strong. Thus, its heat cap...

The question is to use bond enthalpies to estimate the reaction enthalpy for this reaction: 3C2H2(g)--> C6H6(g). I know that C2H2 has a triple bond, so its bond enthalpy is 837 kJ/mol and benzene is 518. But I am wondering why the solution manual says that there are 6 moles of benzene if only 3 bond...

How do you find the pH at the halfway point in a weak acid-strong base titration?

Thanks!

If a reaction is exothermic, then it gives off heat, so the way I do it is at the products side of an equation, I just add "+heat" at the end. If the question asks what would happened of you decrease heat, then just apply Le-Chatleir's Principle, and the reaction proceeds to the right. If ...

Can someone please explain how to do number 10 on the quiz three prep 1? It gives you the moles and Kp but asks for partial pressure. How do you convert moles to pressure?

Thanks

An oxidation state is when an atom has the ability or tendency to lose are gain electrons to get a noble gas configuration. For the positive chlorine configuration, assume that chlorine is losing seven electrons to have a neon-like configuration. Thus, it's positive oxidation state is plus 7. For ne...

An electron can go into an excited state because it absorbs the specific required energy needed to jump to a higher orbital. At this state, the atom is unstable and not at the lowest energy. When the electron falls back to the ground state, it emits energy in the form of photons. When looking at the...

The question is: What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when an electron transitions from n=4 to n=3? I know how to go about solving the problem by finding the change in energy between the levels using E=-hR/n^2, but I keep getting the wavelength as 1870 nm, when the answer says 1875nm. I h...

Does anyone know how to solve problem numbers 23 and 25 on the chapter one homework? I've tried many times and I can't seem to figure them out!
Thanks!
