Unique Rate of Reaction
What is the difference between the unique rate of reaction and just the reaction rate? Also, how would you calculate the unique rate of reaction?

Re: Attachment of Atoms
Ok thank you!
So if one carbon had fewer hydrogens attached to it, the H from the HBr would attach to the carbon with lesser hydrogens?

Attachment of Atoms
In the reaction CH3CH=CHCH3 + HBr does it matter on which side the Hydrogen attaches to first? I know that it attaches to one of the Carbons that is involved with the double bond, but does it matter which Carbon?

Staggered vs. Eclipsed
So I know that the eclipsed conformation is higher in energy than the staggered conformation. However, I am not completely sure on why this is. Is it because the C-H bonds for the eclipsed conformation are closer together?

Priority
If a cyclopentane has one isopropyl on one Carbon and two methyl groups both attached to the Carbon right next to it, how would you know which to number first? Would the isopropyl group be numbered as 1 or would the two methyl groups be 1?

Double Bonded Carbons
If an alcohol has a double bond between two carbons and has 3 carbons in its longest chain, would it be propenol instead of propanol?
Is it possible to have a double bond in an alcohol?

Number the Carbons so that the substituents are attached to the lowest numbered Carbon possible.

Re: Catalysts
Catalysts can be included in the rate law!
I'm not sure on whether or not they affect the order of the reaction though.

I'm a little confused on the difference between tert- and iso- butyl.
What is the reason that one substituent is named tert-butyl while another is named iso-butyl?

Collision of Molecules
I know that reaction orders of 3+ or rare because it's hard for three molecules to collide at the same time with the same energy to react.
I'm a little confused on 0 order, though. Does this rate order have to do with the collision of molecules as well? How many molecules collide here?

Delta G = delta G (standard) + RT ln(Q)
Hello!
When solving the equation Delta G = delta G (standard) + RT ln(Q), are you allowed to mix concentrations and pressures of the reactants and products depending on which values are given to get Q? Or can only one type be used throughout the Q expression?

Re: How to determine the strength of acids?
Also, stronger acids will generally have a greater number of oxygens. For example in number 2- HCl02 will be a stronger acid than HClO.

I noticed that oxygen and sulfur have two electron affinity values. One is positive, whereas the other is very negative. Why is this? Do the values correspond to the first and second values of electron affinity when more than one electron is added?

Re: Naming ligands and writing ligands alphabetically? [ENDORSED]
Yes, it is referring to the name of the ligands and you would write ammine before aqua because of this alphabetical order. I'm not sure about whether or not it matters if you are writing the formula though...

Is it true that when the pressure increases, the volume decreases? If this is the case and the pressure of the reaction increases- why does the reaction favor the side with fewer moles of gas and try to move towards that? Thank you!!
