Yes, I don't know what I was doing, haha. I have probably confused even you more. Consider what sjb-2812 has said here.

Yes it can change if the reaction is a SN2 type reaction. I'm assuming the reaction was as follows: CH3-CH=O-C(BrClF) + Al2(OH)3 → C-(BrClF) + HO-CH=O-CH3 C-(BrClF) + H2O → CHBrClF + OH- (Maybe with a different base, I just Al2(OH)3 as an example) The second reaction would indeed...

Do you know how to determine whether a compound is either R or S? Try it for both compounds and see what you get. Not sure what you mean by "optical activity"? There is no way to tell whether either the R or S enantiomer will rotate plane polarised light to the right or left (D or L). This...

I have two first year maths subjects one on differential calculus and linear algebra and the other on integral calculus and series. There were other things like complex numbers thrown in as well. I was wondering about that. I wasn't sure if you could though, I suppose it won't hurt to ask...

Hello everyone, I'm about to start my honours year in a science degree majoring in nanotechnology. I am pretty confident that I'm on track for first class honours and have had a few academics inviting me to come do a PhD with them once I graduate. However, in my studies I have only completed...

Thanks for the links, it seems it was a lot more complicated than I had first thought. Thanks for your help.

For a pair of solute particles in a medium. The interaction is generally described by the Hamaker Constant which is dependent on the dielectric constants and the refractive indices of the materials involved. Why is the interaction of the molecules dependent on the refractive indices of the...

hey, sorry for not putting up a diagram. didn't think to do that XD It's okay though, I worked it out finally. Thanks for trying to help :)

So far I have got: Mass A: ma_{A} + kx_{B} - kx_{C} = 0 Mass B: ma_{B} + kx_{A} - 2kx_{B} + kx_{C} = 0 Mass C: ma_{C} + kx_{A} - kx_{B} + 2kx_{C} = 0 Thats the best I can do... :S Sorry, the superscripts are meant to be subscripts XD

Homework Statement There are 3 masses connected by springs of the same spring constant (k). The end masses are connected to solid walls via 2 more springs. Assuming simple harmonic motion find the angular frequencies (\omega) for each of the normal modes of vibrations...Homework Equations The...

Indeed I did, thanks for that :P

The thing is everything is relative... :) So, the time will appear to slow down in A, with respect to B and vice versa. So the person in the ship will see the time on Earth to run slower and the person on Earth will see the time on the ship run slower. It arises from the fact that any...

Just to clear things up... Ions with a positive charge are called cations and ions with a negative charge are called anions (As you rightly said). :)

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

This is the program: http://www.uow.edu.au/handbook/yr2010/ug/science/H10006162.html" I don't have a choice of doing any higher level mathematics than the first year... So unless I do the mathematics myself, I won't learn it. The actual subject is...
