Re: K and K'

I don't think there is a way to numerically calculate k' from k without knowing the K because K is always involved in the equation K=k/k'

Re: Enzyme

Enzymes are catalysts and their job is to lower the activation energy - the energy needed for the reaction to get between the products and reactants point.

Even though there are only NO molecules in the problem, using 2 of the NOs makes it bimolecular.

Re: Hw 15.1 [ENDORSED]

it would make sense here because there is only one mole of N2 and 3 moles of H2 - in order to make a full 1, you would need 3 times more N2 to balance our for the amount of H2

why are these the units? does it have to do with each graph for first order, zero order, and second order reactions?

These statements are all right. OH is a negative charge, so you will use this with basic solutions while H3O is positive, so you will use this in acidic conditions. H2O is unlimited and you can always include this

Re: Example in Lecture

The reason we put Delta G as 0 as well is because we didn't have that or T as givens for the equation: DeltaG= DeltaH-TDeltaS. We had H and S, but needed something for G in order to find T - when the reaction would be spontaneous. Putting it at 0 is a good first step and makes sense here because we ...

How do you find the change in internal energy with only a reaction and delta H given? It says "What is the change in internal energy for the reaction of 1.00 mol OF2? in the reaction OF2(g) + H2O(g) = O2(g) + 2H(g)." How do you find this for only 1 mole of one of the reactants?

Re: 8.51 energy "released"

I agree; technically the energy is released so it makes sense that it would be a negative number (because exothermic reactions are negative) but since it is in relation to the outside receiving the energy, it is gaining a positive amount of energy.

The heat of fusion uses unit of mass (the specific heat of fusion), and the molar heat of fusion is the enthalpy change per amount of substance referred to in moles.

Re: Phase Changes: Molecular Level [ENDORSED]

During the face changes, the part of the phase graph with a constant slope is when the phases are in the process of changing. For instance, the line between the slopes showing liquid water and ice is as the H20 is freezing into a solid.

Re: Enthalpy and Temperature [ENDORSED]

When the temperature is greater, there is more heat and therefore more energy. I think that this would cause enthalpy to also increase.
