Which is more polar: CH2Cl2 or CH2Br2 ? | Cl is more electronegative, greater dipole moment (higher on periodic table) |
Empirical formula gives us ... | The simplest whole number ratio. Usually given in mass. 1) Convert mass to moles by dividing atomic mass of all elements 2) Look at mole ratios between elements |
If an atom is MORE electronegative than another... | 1) bonds to that atom are more polar 2) Dipole-dipole attraction is stronger |
If an acid is weak, there is more (undissocitaed/dissociated) acid present. | UNDISSOCIATED. [HA] > [H+][A-] |
Small pKa = (high/low) acidity | Small pKa = higher acidity Ka < 1 => pKa > 1 Ka < 1 = weakly acidic |
Equation for molarity to volume relationship | M1V1 = M2V2 |
Best ___ agent is the species getting reduced; Best ___ agent is species getting oxidatized | Oxidizing; reducing |
Beta (-) decay causes a (neutron/proton) to be (added/subtracted) from species. | 1) Neutron 2) Added |
Beta (+)/Positron decay causes a (neutron/proton) to be (added/subtracted) from species. | 1) Neutron 2) Subtracted |
Only (reactant/products) can be reducing and oxidization agents | Reactants |
On a plot of T vs. Q: Plateaus = ? Slopes = ? Steeper slope = ? | Plateaus = heat of vaporization/fusion Slopes = heat capacity Steeper slope = lower heat capacity |
In regards to anode and cathode, where does oxidation and reduction occur? | "An-Ox/Red-Cat" Anode - Oxidation; Reduction - Cathode |

What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? Hg(CH3COO)2 | Organomercury cmpds unreactive |
What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? KOH/CH5OH | -COOH to ester |
What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? BH3/THF | Convert alkene to alcohol |
What is the following most useful for in organic chemistry reactions? CrO3/H2SO4 | Promote oxidation |
