mrjeffy321, would a conjugate acid of a strong base also turn an aqueous solution acidic?
Also the example give was for HCN.
For example given a weak acid whose Ka is 10^-8, and then the conjugate base should be a strong one. But dividing the water ion product 10^-14 by 10^-8, we find Kb is...
If the conjugate base of a weak acid ends up being determined as a weak base by dividing the acid dissociation constant by the ion product of water, how can this be?
My book had an example, but goes on to generalize that if a salt's anion is the conjugate base of a weak acid, then the salt...
When ethanol dissolves, the individual molecules stay intact right? It doesn't dissolve like a hydrohalic acid in which the polar bond actually breaks?
So if a reaction that is thermodynamically favored may not occur due to it not being kinetically favored? For example if the activation energy is very high, then the reaction will not be observed even though the enthalpy of reaction and change in energy of the reaction is negative (products have...
I read some online material about this.
The rate law computes the rate equal to the rate of any species divided by it's coefficient. And the rates of the individual species are equal to the products of their respective coefficients and the computed rate. Is this correct?
So if R...
So in the above equation, if I divide the rate by the coefficient, I get the individual rate for that reactant?
Also, why is the rate equal to the rate divided by the coefficient?
If I have an equation consisting of n reactants, then the rate would be:
Rate = k[A_1]^{p_1}[A_2]^{p_2}[A_3]^{p_3}...[A_n]^{p_n}
My question is how do I know what the rate is? Like it gives me a rate, but which reactant has this rate? Zumdahl's chemistry is so ambiguous on this. I don't...
If it is thermodynamically favored for a reaction to occur forward and reverse, does that mean that the standard enthalpy of the reaction is close to 0?
I know that AP Calculus BC is very watered down in comparison to a real analysis course at the college level. I'm taking high school Calc I, II this upcoming school year as a junior and would like to get a good book to learn real analysis from. I'm currently looking at getting Spivak's CALCULUS...
Is it impossible to use the Localized Electron Model to predict whether a given molecule is para/diamagnetic?
Since the LE model only allows for the prediction of where specific electron pairs are located, e.g. between which orbitals and belonging to which atoms in the molecule, and thus is...
Since metals are neutral, and their electrons delocalized, is the number of electrons in a metallic solid equal to the number of protons in the solid? Also I am guessing that the valence shells of the metals are not complete?
I am confused on this regard.
Furthermore, I can see how the myriad...
So if it states solid, then you must write out the entire formula even in the net ionic equation (because it is infered that the solid is not dissolved in the solution)?
