    Stats: finding probability in normal distribution

    Homework Statement Find Z0 such that P(z > z0) = 0.1234 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Z is the mean which is 0. So if Z0 is less than the mean it should be a negative number. Looking at the table 0.1234 does not show up but the closest is 0.1217 which is 0.31. So Z0...

    Packing Particles - Understanding Coordination Number & Density

    Ok this seems to help but I still don't quite have it. Lets do a test on say cubic and give an imagingary radius of 1 for each of the 13 units V = (4/3)Pi r^3 = 1.33 x 3.14 x 1 = 4.2 x 13 units = 54.6 units of volume in 13 spheres Sphere volume (radius would be 3) V= (4/3)pi r^3 = 1.33 x 3.14...

    How to Write Net Ionic Equations for Dissolution Reactions

    Is it possible that I have equation #3 wrong. Should the net ionic equation look like your final answer above?

    How to Write Net Ionic Equations for Dissolution Reactions

    This should be easy but I feel there is something I am mission I need to write the net ionic equations and then add #1 & #2 and compare to #3. Equation #1 - write net ionic equation for dissolution of solid NaOH in water Equation: NaOH (s) + H2O --> Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) + H2O (l) Net...

    Packing Particles - Understanding Coordination Number & Density

    Hi, I am doing a lab on packing methods. Hexagonal closest, face-centred and body-centred. I had no trouble drawing the diagrams for these and and determining cordination numbers and seeing which is more efficient. However I am having trouble explaining the relationship between coordination...

    Electrolysis of water and charges help

    Hi... I am working on this one too and would appreciate it if anyone could take the time to check my answers. By the electrolysis of water, 11.2L oxygen at STP was prepared. a) What charge was required? b) if a current of 0.05A was used, how long did it take? A) the text lists the following...

    Half-Cell Method: Balance Cl2(g)+ OH- w/ Oxidation #s

    Very, Very Sorry for the double post. Had some computer issues and thought it did not post in this old thread so I stated a new post. Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me... I have updated the answer a bit and if you have time to look at it I would be thankful. 79. Balance the...

    How Do You Balance Equations Using the Half-Cell Method?

    Ok, here is another one I have, this is one of a series of half-cell questions... this one is confusing. 79. Balance the following equations by the half-cell method. Show both half-cell reactions and identify them as oxidation or reduction. b) Cl2(g) + OH- <=> Cl- + ClO3^- + H2O(l)...

    Dissociation Constant Homework Check

    Hmm... yes I seem to mess up on the units sometimes. I would like to do this all in mol/L if possible. (we have been taught to this point only in mol/L) So does this look better? HF + H2O <-> H3O+ + F- HF = 1+19=20 g/mol 2g HF x 1 mol HF / 20g HF = .1 mol HF So HF = .1 mol/L H30+...

    Dissociation Constant Homework Check

    My Text mentions nothing about mol.dm^{-3} it does say to calculate [H_3O^{+}] = 10^{-x} So that's how I got .0063 mol/L I also have, from the text the formula for calculating the acid dissociation constant K_{a} Ka = [H30+][X-] / [HX]

    Dissociation Constant Homework Check

    Question: A solution of hydrofluoric acid contains 2.0g of HF per litre and has a pH of 2.2. What is the dissociation constant for HF? My Answer: HF + H2O <-> H3O+ + F- HF = 2.0g H30+ = 10^-2.2 = .0063g F- = H3O = .0063 Ka = [H3O+][F-] / HF = (.0063)(.0063) / 2.0 =1.98 x 10^-5...
