pH and pOH - 1 views

  • Taking the antilog of both sides, we have

      Is there a typo in the following equation?
  • There is a very simple relationship between the pH and the pOH of an aqueous solution at 25°C. We know that at this temperature

      Isn't the second "Kw" in the following equation redundant?

The Rate Equation - 2 views

  • . In the figure the tangents at t = 15 shave been drawn
    • YJ Choi
       
      From "...tangents at t=15 SHAVE been drawn" to "...tangents at t=15 HAVE been drawn"
  • We say that the order of the reaction with respect to component A is a, while the order with respect to B is b. The overall order of the reaction is a + b.
  • When this happens the reaction is said to be zero order in H3O+, because (cH,sub>3O+</sub>)0 = 1

      notation in parentheses should be fixed

    Thanks! This has been fixed - as such this highlight may not show up anymore (the text of the highlight has been changed, so Diigo won't be able to find it). Also: the correction for the first part is "tangents at t=15 s have been drawn" - don't forget your units!

The Covalent Bond - 0 views

  • The orbital is centered between the two atoms, so electron density is highest there. Again, as said above, this reduced the total energy of the system, and electrons in this orbital will thus lead to a covalent bond between the two atoms. This orbital is referred to as a bonding orbital.b)With the LUMO molecular orbital of H2 there is zero electron density between the two hydrogen atoms. There is a node in the orbital exactly the two atoms.
    • Michael Boykin
       
      Isn't this a contradiction? The top portion says the highest density is between the two atoms, and the bottom part says there is zero electron density between the two atoms...
    • ChemPaths UW-Madison
       
      In part (b), the question asks about the LUMO - or the Lowest (Energy) Unoccupied Molecular Orbital. It is where the 3rd electron would go, if you tried to put it into this molecule. Thus what the last sentence in this solution states: "If electrons occupied this orbital, it would lead to the dissolution of the covalent bond." Does that make sense?

Balancing Chemical Equations - 0 views

  • 2NaMnO4 + H2O2 + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO2 + Na2SO4 + 3O2 + 4H2O

      Shouldn't the coefficient on Oxygen gas on the product side be a "10" instead of a "3"?
  • 2NaMnO4 + H2O2 + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO2 + Na2SO4 + 6O2 + 4H2O
    • YJ Choi
       
      I counted 22 Oxygen atoms on the reactant side, and so shouldn't the red "6" be a "5" to equal 22 Oxygen atoms on the product side? (Sorry to bother the editor again)
  •  
    Thanks! This has been fixed - as such this highlight may not show up anymore (the text of the highlight has been changed, so Diigo won't be able to find it). Also - the correction would be for the red 3 to become a 6 (not a 10 as you mentioned).
  •  
    Thanks for following up on this. Apparently the Optical Character Recognition software missed the fact that this equation should be written with "SO4" not "SO2" anions - thus the original coefficient was correct. The sulfate subscripts have been changed and the original coefficient of "3" has been reinstated to its proper place. Thanks again.

  • When particles are emitted into a closed container, they slowly pick up electrons from their surroundings, and eventually the container becomes filled with helium

      I wonder if this is how Helium gas is industrially manufactured
