  1. I've done all the work, I just keep coming up wrong on my math. I'm not sure what I'm missing. The equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction is 0.636 at 600 K: COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of all species when COCl2(g) is introduced into an evacuated flask at a pressure of 1.73 atm at 600 K. PCOCl2= PCO= PCl2= setting up ICE, I know that Kp=x/(1.73-x)=.636 (.636)[1.73-x]^2=x (.636)[1.73^2-2(1.73)x + x^2]=x (.636)x^2-[2(1.73)(.636)+1]x + (.636)(1.73)^2 x^2-[2(1.73)+1/(.636)]x + 1.73^2= 0 a=1 b= -[2(1.73)+1/(.636)]= -5.032 c= (1.73)^2= 2.993 quadratic equation such that: [(-5.032)^2-4(2.993)]^1/2 = [13.349]^1/2= …

    Hi, I need to build a homemade thermos for my grade 7 heat project. I was thinking of using a plastic water bottle as the container, and then put cotton pads and tin foil around it. But I don't think that will suffice to keep it warm long enough. does anyone have suggestions. The project is due soon so please help. NOTE: The Cotton pads will have "air pockets that will reduce convection,then I will wrap them in tape and attach the tinfoil so it will reduce radiation and the insulation I add will reduce conduction. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

    ANALYSIS 3. Determine the average [CH3COOH] in mol/L I have no idea what this is asking for. The past two questions have made me determine the volume of NaOH at equivalence (22.5mL) and the concentration of CH3COOH (3.75mol/L). All other information: Concentration of NaOH = 1.5mol/L, volume of CH3COOH = 20mL, initial volume of NaOH = 50mL, initial pH of CH3COOH = 2.4, final volume of NaOH trial 1 = 22.8mL, final volume of NaOH trial 2 = 22.2mL, pH of colour change trial 1= 8.7, pH of colour change trial 2 = 8.0.

  6. I'm supposed to created a differential equation for the altitude of a weather balloon. Here's what I have: at time 0, altitude is 0 m, and initial velocity is 0 m/s. The balloon has a mass of 2 kg and exerts an upward force of 26 N. There is a drag force that is approximately 1/5 of the instantaneous velocity. After several seconds, a dart gun is fired at the balloon. It hits and gives the balloon a small jolt at time t = 7. Even though the balloon is deflated the amount of drag does not change. Ok, so here's an equation modeling velocity: 2*dv/dt = -9.8(2) + 26 - 26u(t-7) + delta(t-7) - .2v (the u is a step function and the "delta" is for the Dirac f…

  8. hi! this semester in my school we have to do a science project. I was thinking to explain why the sky has blue color (due to rayleigh scattering). I saw on youtube a few videos about lighting a liquid (made of chemical formulas ), but i would like to use something solid to present it. So should I make a glass with some particles inside it or something? Thank you,

  9. So E2 dehydration reaction of primary alcohols form an elimination product and a SN2 product which was an ether. My book gives me the mechanism reaction for the E2 elimination that's happening. But before that I had read on the same book a few sections before that the SN2 reaction for a primary alcohol formed a substitution product, which was an alkyl halide! So now I am very confused as to what happens with a primary alcohol in an SN2 dehydration reaction Can someone explain? In both reactions dehydration occurs so I really don't know Does a SN2 dehydration reaction form an ether as well as an alkyl halide?

  10. My book (essential organic chemistry by paula yurkanis bruice 3rd edition) says that primary alcohols oxidize into aldehydes and that the oxidation contiues to form a carboxylic acid. Then I'm given an example of this with H2CrO4 as the reducing agent Then I'm told that since H2CrO4 is toxic HOCl is used instead. THn I'm given an example of this ( same primary alcohol used in the reduction with H2CrO4) BUT this time the primary alcohol doesn't keep oxidizing into a carboxylic acid! Is it supposed to keep oxidizing and the book just assumes I think that or with HOCl do primary acids not keep oxidizing?

  12. Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track with these intramolecular reactions? For a) I think that an epoxide is formed after NaH takes a Hydrogen from the OH substituent and then the electrons travel making the Cl leave. Then for b I know an epoxide can't form since the OH and the Cl are on the same side. I think the NaH would take the H, so would the product be a resonance structure??? For c. I think it's a 5 carbon hetero-cyclic ring with an Oxygen closing the ring + NaH2 and Br- And for d. I think another hetero cyclic ring happens but I don't know what it would look like.I don't know it's substituents or how long it would be since it's not a lon…

  17. I need to know what the product of this Sn2 reaction is (CH3)3N reacting with bromoethane I thought the product would be CH3CH2N(CH3)3 but my book says it's CH3CH2N(CH3)3Br- is it a mistake or am i just not understanding

  18. I'm studying Sn2 reactions and I know that Iodine is a weaker base and therefore a better leaving group than Br In an exercise in my book (essential organic chem 3rd edition by paula yurkanis bruice) it asks to see which is more reactive between 1-bromo-2 phenylethane and 1-iodo-2 phenylethane 1-bromo-2 phenylethane and 1-iodo-2 phenylethane look pretty much the same except that one has Br and the other has Iodine I thought it was 1-iodo-2 phenylethane because it has a better leaving group but the back of the book says its 1-bromo-2 phenylethane Does the book have an error or am I just not understanding?

  19. In Sn1 reactions with asymmetric centers, the products are supposed to be enantiomers in the reaction in the image (which you can hopefully see. if not its a cyclopentane with a Ph and a Me attached on carbon one, the Ph is toward the front and the Me is toward the back, and the same thing is happening on Carbon 3) the products formed when it reacts with Iodine are not enantiomers, right? how can that be possible if there are assymetric centers how are they not enantiomers? I think they are but my professor said they weren't

    I was doing a problem in Griffith's "Intro to Electrodynamics" concerning a clairvoyante and her twin brother: Sophie Zabar, clairvoyante, cried out in pain at precisely the instant her twin brother, 500 km away, hit his thumb with a hammer. A skeptical scientist observed both events from an airplane traveling at 12c/13 to the right. Which event occurred first, according to the scientist? How much earlier was it? I did it using the Lorentz transformation. I don't know if I did it correctly or not so I was wondering if someone could help me make sure I did this correctly.

    Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 17 kg and the larger bottom crate has a mass of m2 = 92 kg. There is NO friction between the crate and the floor, but the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is μs = 0.8 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two crates is μk = 0.62. A massless rope is attached to the lower crate to pull it horizontally to the right (which should be considered the positive direction for this problem). 1) The rope is pulled with a tension T = 248 N (which is small enough that the top crate will not slide). What is the acceleration of the small crate? 2.275 m/s^2 2) In…

    Preamble: I hope I can post here (in the homework sub forum) since I am trying to "catch up" ** with the subject of Relativity in a way. If the universe is represented by a model consisting of the set of events in a 4D manifold , are there points in this manifold that have particular characteristics (or properties?) For example ,what does it say if events are separated from each other by the same 4D distance? Secondly the event that represents the Big Bang , would that be the event with the greatest sum of distances from all the other events? Thirdly would this event (the Big Bang) be considered to be at the "centre" of the manifold? …
