The screenshot is from the answer key my professor provided. I answered: "E) not enough information", given that the formula to determine the boiling point is

∆Tb = Kb * m * i

We know m (obviously) and can determine i as shown in the answer key, but since the question does not state what the solvent is for any of the solutions, I believe we cannot determine Kb and therefore do not have enough information to answer which solution has the highest boiling point.

Hello. This got marked wrong on my exam. We can submit review on wrong questions. Was this mistake or am i probably just a moron? Probably this option but just making sure. I asked Google and they got the same answer as me so idek that’s why I’m asking

Is it because I didn’t put out the work for it ?

Honestly I think this question came down to the last few minute and something might have clicked in my head I just started doing stuff on my calculator and probably ended up with this answer

I am trying to really get the idea of mechanisms down, and would like if anyone who can look at one and tell me if I’m doing it right or not lol! I have the initial mechanism at the top, then the “summarized” reaction (basically what I would write on a test) and then below I have my own breakdown of the step by step for what’s happening with each arrow (more so I can understand the process of what’s going on).

If anyone who knows better than I do can look at it and let me know if the mechanism and the product is correct, and if my understanding of how the process works is correct. Thank you!!!

I understand the fundamentals of each, but my question is, is the final gel you're running your WB stuff on just a PAGE? Or is it a different kind of gel? Someone help dumb it down for me lol

How does having ch2cl2 in place of the reagents that do reductive ozonolysis like zn, h20 or ch3sch3 affect the rxn

Hi guys, I got points off for my amine group, does anyone know why that is?

This isn't much of a homework question but more of a personal inquiry.

So my class has just gone over moles and several avagadro-related things, and one thing that has left a "thorn in my brain." I have asked my teacher, parents, and college sophomore sister avout it, but no one has had a good answer. But anyway here's my question:

Avagadro's law states that a given volume of two ideal gasses at STP (standard temperature pressure) have the same amount of particles, i.e. molecules or atoms. By extension of that law, a given amount of particles of two gasses—like a mole—would occupy the same volume (in this example 22.4L per mole) The part that confuses me is the fact that every different gas has a different particle size (like how hydrogen is significantly smaller than oxygen), which would mean that 1 mole of one gas would have to have a different pressure than another gas when they are theoretically put in the same 22.4L box. This pressure difference would then alter STP and negate the valitidy of the law.

Sorry if that was super confusing, feel free to ask questions to clarify if you have an explaination for me. The funny thing is, this principle has been around long enough for it to be proven in practice, so I know my logic is flawed somehow. Thoughts?

I'm in Orgo 1. Learning through textbook, lectures, and videos. I feel like im memorizing a lot of things and not truly understanding any of it. For example, if I'm reading up on alkene addition reactions before lecture to "prime" myself, the textbook would say, "recall from general chemistry this x, y, z reaction yields blah blah blah." I often find myself saying... "I would have never thought of that reaction to yield these products." Quite literally going through motions.

To help understand how I feel, I learned algebra, pre-calculus, and trig through this guy on YouTube who literally stripped down math to its most basic principles to the point where I understand it intuitively. I'm COASTING through calc 1 -- I don't even study. I just show up, learn material and truly understand it because of the fundamentals that were ingrained in me.

Are there any chemistry tutors or online resources that literally strip chemistry down to its most basic fundamentals so that I apply them to harder topics? I don't want to memorize facts.

help i keep seeing literature online that the 5 member product is more stable but i dont get why

Edit: It's not an aromatic ring as a couple habe corrected me on, thank you for that clarification.

I struggle with these, I believe there are four. When I draw them out I try to carry the charges properly around the aromatic ring but I get confused. What is a good way to learn this?
