    molar heat of solution = -44.5kJ/mol = -44500J/mol change in t = 6 degrees mass(water) = 200g specific heat capacity c = 4.18 J/degrees/g => Finding the enthalpy absorbed by the water Q=mc delta t = 200g x (4.18 J/degrees/g) x 6 degrees Q = 5016J => Then using molar heat of...

    I only know how to name simple hydrocarbons, but the steps I take are: 1. Identify if the hydrocarbon is an alkane, alkene, or and alkyne, using the general formulas (alkane is CnH2n+2, alkene is CnH2n, alkyne is CnH2n-2). This is the suffix of the hydrocarbon (e.g -ane) 2. Then identify the...

When and how often should I write these notes? Is it alright to not write any notes at all and just do...
