  1. Started by Iota,

    I have 42.1167g of Na2CO3. DIVIDED BY RRM (105.99) = 42.1167/105.99 = 0.397mol. Now, I want to find out how many moles there are in 250cm3 when the powder is dissoved in water. Would that be: 0.397*(250/1000)= 0.0993mol? Then, therefore, would (0.0993/250) *1000 get to moldm-3, molarity? I've repeatedly confused myself with something I was able to do a few weeks ago... and a couple of years before that.

  2. [math]\frac{(1+h)^2 - 1}{h} = \frac{1 + 2h + h^2 - 1}{h} = \frac{2h + h^2}{h} = \frac{h(2 + h)}{h} = 2 + h[/math] I'm currently using one of the forums tutorial on calculus... And i'm stuck with a problem. The problem is i know it works out because iv'e substituted "h" with an actual integer, and my dilemma is i can't figure out how it went from, [math]\frac{(1+h)^2 - 1}{h} = \frac{1 + 2h + h^2 - 1}{h}[/math] Ignore the /font font=monospace thing, can't figure out how to remove it

    1. Why are π to π * transitions on conjugated double bonds such good absorbers of visible light? 2. Intensity of the HeNe laser (λ=632nm) was measured at 2 distances: 1 m and 200 m from the laser. The meter reading was 10W and 1 W correspondingly. How many photons/sec will enter your eye if you look into the laser from 1 m? From 200 m? Assume that radius of the pupil was 2.5 mm, radius of the detector was 3.5 mm. At a distance of 1 m the laser beam radius was 1 mm. 3. Chl has an absorbance peak at 435nm (Soret band) and a peak at 665nm (Qytransition). Calculate the energy gap (in Joules) between the ground and excited states of these two transitions. An…

    hey guys l need your help in my assignment l don't understand what the question wants me to do. .."The transition energy of atomic hydrogen are given by the Rydberg formula 1/lambda= R(1/n2 - 1/m2) where n and m are principal quantum numbers of the two levels. The highest energy series (Lyman) has n=1. Lyman 2 occurs at 97492 cm-1 . Calculate from this value of R(Rydberg Constant) and hence the wavelength and transition energy for Balmer 1.thanks guys!

Then, give the Pople notation describing the proton spin system(s) in the molecule. Full marks for proper justification http://imgur.com/VXhQl ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THIS: For the methyl that's 'dashed', I know that the 3 protons on it are chemically and magnetically equivalent.

    Hi guys, So there's a science fair that I'm participating in and I want somebody to bounce off ideas with me so I could come up with the perfect one. I'm thinking my theme for the science fair is environmental cuz that's the stuff that I'm more interested in. Right now, I'm just thinking biofuel/biodiesel and all those boring stuff...definitely not going to win. So... What are some major environmental issues that's going on around the globe? Extinction of species of any kind? New ways for renewable energy that I could expand on? It'd be nice if I could start with something. Thx in advance!

  7. Here's a general chemistry problem and my answer. Would anybody mind checking it? Thanks in advance. 3 Compounds have the following mass ratios of Oxygen:Nitrogen A) 1.143 g oxygen:1 g Nitrogen B) 2.286 g oxygen: 1 g Nitrogen C) 2.857 g oxygen: 1 g Nitrogen Show that these compounds obey the law of multiple proportions. To do this I compared the three compounds to each other. My answer is: A:B = 1.143 g O:2.286 g O = 0.5:1 = 1:2 A:C = 1.143:2.857 = 0.4:1 = 2:5 B:C = 2.286:2.857 = 0.8:1 = 4:5 This whole process seems so sketchy and I was hoping somebody could check this for me. Thanks

    The DNA for an H chain in a B cell making IgE antibody for Tularemia has the following structure: 5′-5'—V8—D4—J2—Cε—Cα2—3'. How many individual rearrangements were required to go from the embryonic DNA to this B-cell DNA? I know IgM is the embryonic immunoglobin, so the rearrangements occur from that one. But I have no idea how you figure out which arrangements occur because can't there be thousands of possibilities for the IgM? Also I know IgE has an extra component on the H chain but doesn't IgM have an extra one as well or am I just imagining things? My guess was 4 individual rearrangements but I'm definitely not sure if that's correct.

  10. Hi, During the transpeptidation reaction in peptidoglycan biosynthesis when the peptides are cross-linked, is the terminal D-alanine lost [i.e. in E. coli when DAP forms a peptide bond with D-ala of the new disaccharide]? Or does the terminal D-alanine remain and is later cleaved by the carboxypeptidation reaction. Essentially, I'm confused by the difference between transpeptidation and carboxypeptidation. If someone could help me clear it up that'd be great! Thanks!

    Hi everyone. I have a question regarding mechanic hoist system of a sailboat. Thanks a lot for your help. Cheers. Your team have been commissioned to design a system to hoist a 250Kg sail up a 35m mast using a winch on a competition class yacht. Speed of hoist is of the essence and the client would prefer that only one grinder (crew) is used. List the assumptions that need verification and the calculations that need to be done in order to achieve a satisfactory conclusion to this commission. A brief explanation as to why you have included each item should be presented.

    Hello, I have been having issues getting going with this assignment in csc131. I am to write a CLI program in python where all cards are dealt face down initially in a rectangular grid. On each turn, the player identifies two of the face-down cards. These two cards are (briefly) flipped face-up. If they match, they stay face up. If they don't match, they're flipped back over face-down. The play continues until all cards have been matched; no face down cards remain to be tested. And the grid is determined by a prompt from the user. (At most 9x8 or 8x9) My first issue is creating the list for the deck. I will need to have 2 of each card and I'm not sure how to create the li…

  13. Hello all! I am having a serious conceptual problem here... so our question is: Does it make sense for a processor to have a floating-point square root functional unit but no integer divide unit? I'm going with sometimes, I believe that both functions can be emulated using the hardware given and will give the exact same result and precision...however I am not understanding in what situations one would be better than the other? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have read all sorts of papers and publications but I am not finding exactly what I need... thanks in advance!

    I have no problem knowing how to find the right sig-digs when just doing one of: adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing. But, I know doing them all at once in more complicated equations gets trickier. For example, something like 110.0 + (500434.0 - 34.0)/0.37 This is my thought process for finding sig-digs when addition/subtraction is combined with multiplication/division. The answer may be correct by luck, but I know that this is not the right way to come up with the correct number of sig-digs. 110.0 + (500434.0 - 34.0)/0.37 = 110.0 + 500434.0/0.37 = 110.0 + 1.4*10^6 (I make 500434/0.37 equal 2 sig digs because the denominator only has 2 sig-digs.)…
