    Balancing Multiple Research Projects: Advice for Time Management and Success

    I've heard that two or more research projects can be killer. I actually want to do it, but I'm unsure if it will be near-impossible to work on both at once. I think I can do it, it's only sixteen hours including the two research projects. But then again, not sure.

    Balancing Multiple Research Projects: Advice for Time Management and Success

    So, I'm currently in a research project that is a wet lab (The research is more into inorganic chemistry). However, my Physical Chemistry I teacher offered me a research project as well, after making an A+ in the course without the crazy high curve. I'm assuming it will be more theoretical based...

    Why Does 3-Methylheptane Have 18 Hydrogens Instead of 16?

    3-Methylheptane actually contains 8 carbons, not seven (Remember the naming, it is heptane (7 carbons), plus a methy group (on the 3rd carbon) is a -CH3 group). Thus, using your formula CnH2n+2, you should have C8H18, not C7H16 or C8H16. :) By the way, the structural skeleton form is...

    Is Entropy Defined by the Gibbs Entropy Formula Extensive?

    Homework Statement Show explicitly that Entropy as defined by the Gibbs Entropy Formula is extensive. That is, for two independent (noninteracting) systems A and B, S(A,B) = S(A) + S(B) where S(A,B) is the entropy of A and B considered as part of a larger system. Homework Equations S = -k...

    How Do You Calculate Electric Field and Potential at Specific Points?

    I have two questions, if i may ask. Really confusing stuff. 1. Three positive charges are arranged as shown (diagram is of a square). The Couloumb Constant is 8.99x10^9 N*m^2/C^2. Find the magnitude of the electric field at the 4th corner. Answer in units of N/C. I'm pretty sure...
