How would someone make dichloroacetate? I am not planning on using it to treat any humans with cancer, just wondering.

I am going on to my fourth semester in the spring or 2011 at a community college and I have not taken any physics classes yet. I want to be a physics/math double major so if I change my mind on either one i can fall back on the other. Right now i guess i would consider myself a math major...

yeah, the reaction is supposed to be reversed, k is correct. The reaction is supposed to be Mg(OH)2 <===> Mg2+ + 2OH- which would give much smaller and more reasonable concentrations.

Mg2+ + 2OH- <===> Mg(OH)2k = 1/[Mg2+][OH-]2 The concentrations of OH- is going to be 2 times the concentration of Mg2+ so 2.6 x 10-6 = 1/(x)(2x)2so x = 45.81 the concentration of Mg2+ is 45.81 the concentration of OH- is 91.62 Is this correct or not because I can't think of any other way...

Can you use 1 as the equilibrium concentration of Mg(OH)2 and use this on the ICE table to find the other equilibrium concentrations or would this give you the wrong answer? because k = 1/[Mg2+][OH-] or would the answer be 1/(x)(2x)^2 = 2.6 x 10^-6 where x = the equilibrium concentration of Mg2+

I have a problem in which It asks to find the equilibrium concentrations but it only give the value of the equilibrium constant and the chemical equation. Is this even possible to solve or does it not have enough information? Here is the problem Determine the equilibrium concentrations...

I've taken general chemistry I and II, and i was planning on becoming a physics major. I just wanted to know if i wasted my time taking chemistry or if it will go toward a physics degree at most schools. I havnt taken any physics classes yet but should i wait until i finish calculus II and...

I'm taking calculus one right now in community college. I plan to major in physics but the first calculus based physics class requires calculus two, so the only physics i can take until next year would be general physics that doesn't require calculus. I'm not sure what major the class is aimed...

can someone show me step by step how to find dy/dx of y=1/(x+y) using implicit differentiation?

I wanted to know if most schools require you to take any physics classes that are not calculus based. Also does anyone have any suggestions on a good college to go to for physics or mathematics.

Do physicists say that atoms behave as waves just because they can't look at them directly so they have to use math to predict probable areas where they could be? or do atoms literally behave as waves?

I know that light is electromagnetic radiation that behaves as a wave and as a photon and that it can travel through a vaccum, but what exactly is light? Is it just pure energy?

I am in a program at a community college to get my associates in engineering. I was thinking about changing my major to physics but they don't have a physics program. i was wondering if i could put the classes i take for the associates in engineering towards a bachelors degree in physics.
