    Writing the Full Equation of Acidified KMnO4 & KI

    ah yes sorry, it is balanced when the - on I2 is removed. I have nothing more to add.

    Degeneracies in Optical Modes in relation to Heat Capacity in a Solid

    Technically I'm supposed to have a total of 8 optical modes but only 4 of them were seen in a solid (by spectroscopy). So I suspect there's some degeneracies and symmetries involved, but I don't know which ones. I have two sets of assigned degeneracies: frequency; degeneracy set 1; degeneracy...

    Writing the Full Equation of Acidified KMnO4 & KI

    Your equation isn't balanced. Can you work out its half-reactions?

    Relating molecules, atoms to number of optical branches (modes)

    I'm stumped as to how many optic branches (modes) are present if there are X number of molecules in a unit cell and Y number of atoms in each molecule. I know that each individual atom has 3 degrees of freedom and more generally in a single unit cell, there are 3 acoustic branches (modes) and...

    Electrochemistry Reference Electrodes

    I was given 0.222 V. 0.197 V would be for a saturated chloride solution, ooh, oups, that belongs to a followup problem (not relevant to this thread), I see what you mean now. It should say 0.222 V not 0.197 V

    Electrochemistry Reference Electrodes

    ah yes I forgot to put that negative sign on my post. So RHE at pH 7 = 0.4137 V should really be read as RHE at pH 7 = -0.4137 V everything below that assumed that sign was there in the first place. Are my signs or thinking inconsistent? I was trying to think of everything in terms of SHE...

    Electrochemistry Reference Electrodes

    Homework Statement Change your electric potential readings from a Ag/AgCl system to a RHE (reversible hydrogen electrode) system at pH 7. For example, 0.3 V vs Ag/AgCl and -0.1 V vs Ag/AgCl Homework Equations Ag/AgCl 0.222 Volts RHE 0 - 0.0591*pH Volts The...

    AC Circuits Terminology: Phase shift vs Phase Angle

    It's clear but there's 2 follow-up questions in my mind. In your example, you had: V = V2cos(θ1 + φ) So you are saying that: θ2 = θ1 + φ = (ωt) + φ = a new phase angle? Relating this back to impedance, curious, "if" the frequency was the same for both the current and voltage, does that...

    AC Circuits Terminology: Phase shift vs Phase Angle

    We talked about AC circuits and phase shifts were discussed. Voltage changes "lag behind" current changes so that's how we get phase shifts. It's like a sinusoid so fine. Then we talked about impedance. There's a real and "imaginary" component to impedance, graphed on x-axis and y-axis...

    Equivalence Relation (discrete structures)

    Homework Statement Let A be a set prove relation R, defined as R : = {<c,d> \in A x A | T } is an equivalence relation on A. What's the quotient A / R ? 2. Relevant Info the x in A x A means the Cartesian product T means "always true" set theory briefly covered in class The Attempt...

    Arithmetic in Mathematical Fields (in particular GF(2^8) )

    Hurkyl, I agree that GF(256) is a finite field, but if we're both wrong, then how would I handle whole negative numbers?

    Arithmetic in Mathematical Fields (in particular GF(2^8) )

    Homework Statement * note that I meant fields in the abstract mathematical sense, notphysical (i.e. electric) fields! * Finding the determinant of a matrix in GF(28) I want to know if it is using mod 256 or mod 255 in the field of GF(28) Homework Equations Just math The...

    Modulus and Congruency Problem

    obviously 3, 6, 9, etc... as I originally thought, but that would be almost too easy. Would this set "skip" over number 51 (which is 17x3) and 102 (17x6), ... etc? Should this set just be listed from 3 to 48? or can I just list 3, 6, 9 and then put a "..." and assume others will know what I...

    Modulus and Congruency Problem

    whoups! Part b does not refer to the previous set in part a. Part b is asking for a completely new set.
