Re: Naming [ENDORSED]

Does using common names (for substituents like isopropyl, for example) make a difference in the use of dashes?

Re: Figuring out if it is an ether

But if O is bonded to two carbons on the same ring, as if it were replacing a C in a cyclopropane, is it still considered an ether?

Re: Winter 2013 Midterm #7: Which Nernst Equation to Use?

The above poster is probably correct, but in lecture he said that log has to do with reactions where pH is a relevant value, as it is measured in terms of log.

Re: Oxidation number of oxygen in O3

What would the lewis structure of O3 be? Do the formal charges need to add up to the total charge?

Re: Final

This equation might be needed in order to find a given value that you need for a different equation, so you should probably be acquainted with it.

Re: max amount of work

Perfect systems would theoretically be reversible, meaning the reactions occuring within them would occur extremely slowly and with the maximum amounts of energy and work being done or used up. Real systems don't necessarily work that way.

Re: Work Equations

ln and log have to do with whether or not pH is being used (pH is measured in log) so it shouldn't be very necessary to use the log equation, but I don't think it gives a different answer.

Re: Bond Enthalpies

Reaction enthalpy describes the total net change in enthalpy that occurs after the reactants change and form products. Standard formation enthalpies describe the enthalpy required to create a given molecule from its atoms

Re: Examples of adiabatic systems

Aren't insulated systems necessarily isolated? Unless the insulated system is open, but that wouldn't make sense, because then heat transfer could occur, correct?

Square Pyramidal

So I have encountered varied answers to this question and want something final.

Does the square pyramidal shape (Ax5E) have bond angles of 90, 180, or LESS THAN 90 and 180?

Lewis Acids and Bases

Hi, So I was wondering; if I have a compound with a central atom like Phosphorous, which can accept an expanded octet, how do I determine if it is a Lewis acid or base? If P has, say, 4 single bonds and a lone pair, would it like to donate that lone pair, making it a Lewis base? If P has a formal ch...

Re: Minimum Indeterminacy [ENDORSED]

In regards to why it's multiplied by 2. +-0.1 is only one arm of the indeterminancy factor. delta V refers to the both arms or sides of the indeterminancy so we must use 0.2 instead of 0.1 as velocity can either be =0.1 or -0.1. So do you mean that any value in the delta V must be multiplied by 2, ...
