depends what ed of Mcmurry you've got. I've got the full 5th edition. Its in chapter 11, page413 roughly.
Yup, you're right, it's not in the HSC syllabus but it never hurts to know moreshannonm said:e1,e2,sn1,sn2 reactions are even in the hsc syllabus?
thank god for thatmitochondria said:Yup, you're right, it's not in the HSC syllabus but it never hurts to know more
It's actually not much different to BSc. for the time being the only differences I know are:shannonm said:thank god for that
mito i see adv chem at new south in your sig. you are a brave soul my friend
shannonm said:nit, it looks like i stand corrected
well... I just love it..shannonm said:yeah wait for 3rd year phys anal and organ :D
I'm not sure if that's an entirely right thing to say about catalysts.. If it's about cost then the whole process will be taken into account - I imagine that might be some expensive catalysts that are desingned solely for lowering the required the starting energy of a reaction and do not take costs into account..gloria_b said:Catalysts are often used because of cost. Heat speeds up reactions but is expensive so catalysts are used instead. Also, many reactions would otherwise takes years to complete
arrrg... omgeeez x______X I had that in mind before I posted and forgot about it and let the stupid process took over (wait.. not supid.. fun things to do with ammonia..) I did did did did did have that in mind and I was going to say it.. *sigh.. very embarrassing* thannks for the correction though... =xnit said:Mitochondria: heat always speeds up the rate of a reaction - it means more molecules with sufficient activation energies collide to form the products. The problem in the Haber Process is that that process is exothermic. Thus the heat will, while affecting the kinetics, nonetheless affect the thermodynamics of the reaction - ie itll push the equilibrium to the left, thus decreasing ammonia yield. At the same time however, it is increasing reaction rate, due to the reasons stated above.
Edit: hmm, what are you guys doing in anal chem atm or in the future? I always hated that.
anal chem is aas, liq chromatography, mass spectroscopy, flow methods and a bit of electrochem (fancy name = voltommetry, or something along those lines)nit said:Edit: hmm, what are you guys doing in anal chem atm or in the future? I always hated that.
Fiddling wasn't exactly the word to describe it.. but alrighty =x no fiddling.. (seriously, that sounded better...) *throws tonnes of apology on top of nit*nit said:yes, I did chem olympiad- international team '04
oh, please don't fiddle around with my username...please
