Chemistry Help Please 3 Hi everyone, I need some help on a Calorimetry/Thermodynamics question. I have an exam coming up soon and I don't understand this. If you can show your steps and explain where it says to explain, that will be much appreciated it. Thank you! 1) (a) A sample of gas occupies a volume of 1.50 L when its pressure is 2.00 atmospheres. If the gas is allowed to expand, isothermally, against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atmospheres, what will be the amount of (i) mechanical work energy and (ii) the amount of heat energy that will have to be exchanged between the gas and its surroundings? What will be the value of Delta E for this process? Briefly explain how you arrive at your answers. (b) If the same amount of gas, a

Chemistry Born-Haber Cycles Help Hey Basil, in need of some chemists :D. I have a couple problems regarding Born-Haber Cycles and I am confused about what to do. I don't really know how to go about arriving at the answer and how to write the equations which it asks to do. If someone can maybe help me solve these I will greatly appreciate it. I'm sorry, I feel like such a bother, it's just that I don't get these types of problems =(. Here are some of my problems that I am having trouble with. There were 10 problems total and I managed to do six of them. These four; however, have got me stumped. :/ : 1) Given the following information, find the lattice energy for LiF (s). Enthalpy of sublimation of Li (s) = 161 kJ/mol First Ionization energy

Chemistry Help Please Balmer, Lyman, Photoelectric Effec? Hey Basil :), I'm stuck on some of these Chemistry questions and would like to know how to do them by step by step if possible. I have a test coming up soon so I would really appreciate any help. Thanks. 1) Use the Balmer formula to calculate the wavelength of light that will be emitted when an electron, in a hydrogen atom, changes its energy from that of orbit n=6 to that of orbit n=2. I think the Balmer formula is : 1/lambda=1/91.10nm x [1/2^2 - 1/n^2] <---- That is that the worksheet lists it as. I need to use that formula to solve this. Do I just plug in 6 to n^2? I'm not sure since it might be wrong. 2) A line in the Lyman Series has a wavelength of 97.17 nm. From which energ

Chemistry Help Please Calorimetry Help? Hi Basil ;), I need some help on two Calorimetry questions. I have an exam coming up soon and I don't understand this. If you can show your steps that will be much appreciated it. Thank you! 1) Predict the signs of 'q' and 'w' for each of these processes. Explain your reasoning. (a) I2 (s) --> I2 (g) (b) CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) --> CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l) 2) (a) A sample of gas occupies a volume of 1.50 L when its pressure is 2.00 atmospheres. If the gas is allowed to expand, isothermally, against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atmospheres, what will be the amount of (i) mechanical work energy and (ii) the amount of heat energy that will have to be exchanged between the gas and its surroundings?

New MMOs to Play Hey Basil, I recently got really bored of the games I have played, such as Maplestory. I am looking for new MMO's of any genre really, shooters, rpgs, action mmos, etc. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a game that is free to play and somewhat popular so it has a growing community. Also, if anyone wants to play, feel free to suggest anything we can play together. And I also have a gaming computer so it could be any game really. Games I have played: TERA Vindictus Dragon Nest Maplestory Blacklight Retribution Neverwinter Elsword Mabinogi League of Legends Path of Exile TF2 Planetside 2 Tribes Ascend Rift C9 Thanks for any suggestions :).

Chemistry Is my answer correct? Photoelectric Effect? Hey Basil, The threshold wavelength for chromium is 280 nm. When light of a certain frequency shone on a piece of chromium, electrons were ejected whose velocities were 894000 m/s. What was the frequency of the light? What I did was divide 894000 m/s by 280 nm. Before I did that I converted nm to m so 280 nm was 2.8 x 10^-7 m. So: 894,000 m/s / 2.8 x 10^-7 m = 3.19 x 10^12 Hz or 3.2 x 10^12 Hz. Is my answer correct regarding the question? If not, do you know which way to do it is correct? Thanks so much.

Quick Chemistry Help Hey Basil, I need some help on some Chemistry problems, their pretty simple to answer but I don't know how to go about doing them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks so much. =) 1) An electron is designated as being 'in' a '4d' orbital. Write down all of the possible values for the four quantum numbers for the electron. 2) Which energy sub-levels are being filled in the Group 16 elements? 3) Write down the complete electron configuration of each of the following. (I don't know how to make the orbital arrows in the boxes, but I do know the regular electron configuration). a) Na b) Fe2+ c) O d) Cr 4) Which is most likely to be more metallic: H or Fe? 5) Predict the missing properties for the elements in the following ta
