Chemistry-Study and teaching; Handouts; Stoichiometry; Chemical equilibrium
Introduction. In class we observed that no reaction goes to completion and have discussed qualitatively the consequences of this insight. It is also possible to deal quantitatively with chemical equilibria. The chemist's approach should start with...

This is the Molecular Zoo entry for formic anhydride and therefore describes the detailed three-dimensional, gas-phase structure of formic anhydride produced by instrumental and computational methods. It also offers a critical comparison of these...
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Problem solving
Introduction: Use the approach outlined in the handout "How To Solve Equilibrium Problems" to solve the following problems related to the hydrogenation reaction. Use partial pressure as the concentration unit for the gaseous species.

This examination primarily deals with the chemistry of the coinage metals - copper, silver, and gold consisting of four multipart general chemistry questions and answers.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Molecular orbitals; Chemical bonds
Introduction: In class we applied molecular orbital theory to a few simple examples with the goal of understanding the nature of the chemical bond. The qualitative approach is complemented by numerical calculations and the interpretation of these...
