  1. As a freshman college student in gen chem, we talk have talked about dipoles as more of a qualitative characteristic while the text book alludes to the idea that dipole moments have quantitative values. My quesiton is, what is the mathematical process to achieve such answers, for example: CH3Cl (chloroform?) has a dipole moment equal to 1.92 debeyes ah maybe it has to do with the sums of the vectors created from difference of electronegativity?
  2. Very interesting. Do you know where I might be able to find more information on the subject? Either way, thank you.
  3. Newtons law of Cooling states that the rate at which an object changes temperature is directly related to difference between the temperature of the object and its respective surroundings and can be written in a differential equation as so: dT/dt = k(Tobject - Tsurroundings) The question I have is, in practical terms, what does the proportionality constant represent? specific heat?
