Okay, so I've been trying to wrack my brain around this concept for a while but to no avail.
PV = nRT
(Preal + n2*V-2a)(Vreal - nb) = nRT
From these equations, it's clear that real volume is greater than ideal volume under real conditions. I understand that this is because the molecules...
Oh, so are the metal cations usually in solution? I was always under the assumption that the cathode was a metal plate containing the metal cations. At least that's what it looks like every time I see a simple diagram of a galvanic cell.
So is the cathode electrode just a conductor allowing...
Homework Statement
In a galvanic cell, the electrode that builds up a precipitate of metal (known as plating out) is:
A. the cathode, and its surface is rich in positive charge.
B. the anode, and its surface is rich in positive charge.
C. the cathode, and its surface is rich in electrons.
D...
Hi, first time poster.
Quick question:
Why is the bond energy for a bond that contains a more highly substituted (tertiary) carbon weaker than the bond energy of a bond that contains a less substituted (primary) carbon?
Let me clarify with an example. Say Bond A is a single bond between a...
