So just to clarify, in the second transition step, Delta G double dagger 2 is the distance between TS2 and the original reactant, while Ea2 is the distance between TS2 and the intermediates? Please correct me if I'm wrong, or tell me this is right. Yes, delta G double dagger 2 is the distance betwe...

Zulfiqar Lokhandwala 1H wrote:When it comes to the slow step reaction is the reaction that is reversible also the slow step reaction? So if it states that the reaction is reversible k and k(prime) would be included in the slow step reaction as well?

If the forward the reaction is slow, then its reverse reaction should be fast.

couldnt we set Δt = 22.0 min, Δ[Α] = 0.622-0.773 M, n = 1 (it says it is first order) and [A] = 0.773 (initial concentration) in the differential rate law and solve for k? Differential rate law is used to compare different initial reaction rate when the initial [Reactants] changes, since there is o...

Yes, just multiply 0.44 mol/L.s by the stoichiometric number.

During the test of an internal combustion engine, 3.00 L of nitrogen gas at 18.5 C was compressed suddenly (and irreversibly) to 0.500 L by driving in a piston. In the process, the temperature of the gas increased to 28.1 C. Assume ideal behavior. What is the change in entropy of the gas? Anybody h...

Hello, thank you for your answer! I think I understand your answer, but I am still a little confused about this one point: I understand that under constant pressure, we can rewrite q as H. However, I still don't get why q=mCdeltaT won't work? In other words, while it is true that delta H =mCdeltaT,...

the equation is used for systems at equilibrium and for a system at equilibrium, P_external approximately equals to P_internal.

Constant V calorimeters are usually used when there are gases in the reaction.

To calculate what delta H is for a particular reaction using bond enthalpies (method 2), we have to know the structure with which the bonds break in the reactants and the new bonds are formed in the products. But, how do we know which bonds require energy and are broken, and which bonds release ene...

in the video, pKa was looked up in a chart in the book... will this be given to us during the final or is this something we have to memorize? What chart exactly also?? I don't think we need to memorize the chart. Ka or Kb will be given in the exam. There are two charts in the chapter 12 of the text...

How do we know that BrOH is a weak acid? HBrO is a weaker acid compared to HClO. This is because Cl is more electronegative than Br. Thus, Cl will draw more electron density towards itself and away from the O-H bond which makes the O-H bond in HClO easier to break. Therefore, HBrO is a weak acid (w...

So when a balanced chemical equation involves both solids and gases, and pressure is changed (volume is changed), do we just use the quick method in the course reader? (V decreases and more moles of gas on left, then reaction shifts to the right. And vice versa) We would then just count the moles o...

Wait how do you solve that second problem without knowing the equilibrium constant? For that question, we don't really need to know the equilibrium constant to solve it. If the pressure of the whole system is increased by decreasing the volume, the reaction will proceed to the side with less moles ...

So what if in a chemical equation, there are both gas and aqueous solution? Should we use Kc or Kp?

About nitrogen in this problem, I'm curious if it's even possible for one of the unpaired electrons to have an opposite spin to the other two unpaired electrons. Is this a violation of Hund's Rule? Yes, It is possible and that's why this is not a ground state configuration. The opposite spin makes ...

In the textbook, there's a question asking what is the lewis structure of CO. And the answer is :C = O: Then I calculated the formal charge for both C and O. The formal charge for C is -1 and for O, it's +1. However, the electron affinity of O is larger than that of C. Doesn't this mean that this le...

In regards to the partial credit vs. no credit, I was doing a problem where I first wrote down E=-hR/n^2, then needed to find frequency v, so using Einstein's equation E=hv, I divided everything by h. I then put it into the form of Ef - Ei = change in Energy. Essentially, I derived the Rydberg's fo...

I understand that the number corresponds to the energy level and the letter is the shape, but what does the shape actually mean? How do the orbitals have different shapes? Is it the path the electron takes? I think it is just conceptually hard to visualize but I am still very confused on this conce...

The main concept was that Dr. Lavelle said that increasing the intensity of white light (the light source) does not lead to electrons being removed. In order to remove electrons from the metal you must have a light source with a shorter wavelength. Then in your increase the intensity of this shorte...
