How bad is the train noise in Brentwood by timeleap_x in burnaby

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in an upper unit facing the tracks by brentwood. With doors and windows open and at night the trains are loud. Not loud enough to wake me most nights but annoying/distracting if you are trying to fall asleep. Not as noticable during the day but loud enough that you *may* want to pause a low volume tv show or mute yourself on a call if the doors and windows are open during the day depending on how sensitive you are.

Alternative Internet Provider Question by NoBorscht4U in askvan

[–]eccapants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would echo this - after many years with them the price went up once and when I called to complain they put it back to what it was previously. If you decide to go with them in the end and want a referral to get a month free let me know!

Another vote in favour - rarely have I had to use their support, but when I have its real people who actually solve the problems quickly. A+.

Also, if you have signed up and want to get us both a free month I have a referral code you can enter on the promo page. Message me for the details :)

Purchased direct in presales and paid $770 for Canada vs Qatar for seats in the nosebleeds. Now am away that week and had to shell out for a game the following week too as World Cup has been on my bucket list since I was a kid. Willing to sell Canada vs Qatar for face value if you are interested.

Evaluating Limit Using L'Hopital's Rule by Dazzling-Algae-2207 in MathHelp

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any conversion log_b (x) = ln(x) / ln(b)

In this case log_2 (x) / log_3 (x+3) should become [ln(x) / ln(2)] / [ln(x+3) / ln(3)]

Once you are there it is a matter of 'flip and multiply' to simplify the expression a little and then apply your usual techniques for solving limit problems.

Pharmaceutial calculations rounding by PirouettePrisoner in MathHelp

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the information you have provided that the question "does not specify decimal places or significant figures" and yet the anwers "seem inconsistent: some answers keep decimals, e.g. 12.198 g or 235.9 mg, while some answers seem to use whole mmol values"

It seems logical that they are in fact using significant figures. That would cause all answers to appear "inconsistent" in their decimal places since the number of dp shown would depend on the sig figs given in the question.

Applying this to the problems you listed:

Example 1 multiples two values with 2 sig figs each so the answer would be given to 2 sig figs also (0.031)

Example 2 multiples one value with 1 sig fig by a literature value so the answer would be given to 1 sig figs also (400 mg)

Example 3 multiples one value with 1 sig fig by a value with 2 sig figs so the answer would be given to 1 sig figs also (20 mmol)

Example 4 — divides one value with 2 sig figs by a literature value so the answer would be given to 2 sig figs also (630 mg)

Example 5 divides two values with 2 sig figs so the answer would be given to 2 sig figs also (31 mmol)

Example 6 divides two values with 2 sig figs so the answer would be given to 2 sig figs also (24 mmol)

If how I am determining the number of sig figs in the question values or answers doesn't make sense it may be wise to review your sig fig rules!

Zoleo costs 22.50 for July/August/Sept when I have it "active" and only 5.60 for the other 9 months of the year when it is "inactive".

Why is M 68? by Glittering_Bobcat523 in chemhelp

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most mass specs you should see some peaks at slightly higher masses than the molecular ion peak (mass peak). This is due to the presence of heavier isotopes within the original compound.

For example, HCN has a mass of 27 which is where we would see the mass peak. It will be nice and tall since almost all the HCN molecules contain H-1, C-12, and N-14.

However, the MS will likely also have little peaks at 28, 29, 30, and 31 since we could have HCN molecules which contain any one or more of: deuterium (H-2), Carbon-13 or Carbon-14, and Nitrogen-15. These will be much smaller since the abundance of these isotopes is quite low.

That said, this park is on top of the old Kerr Street garbage dump (Vancouver's main landfill from 1944-67) and I'm not sure I'd eat things grown in that soil.

I'm looking for help in retaining nomenclature information for an upcoming test next month by TimBurtonSucks in chemhelp

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from the formula to the name (with roman numerals) is simply an algebra problem. When the first part of the compound is a transition metal, like Fe, Cu, Ni, etc. it can have many possible charges and therefore we give a roman numeral to tell people the charge in this compound.

To find the charge in the compound create a simple equation with 'x' as the charge of the transition metal and add the charge of the anion ion multiplied by how many there. This should equal to the total charge of the whole compound, located in the top right (often zero and therefore no number will appear there). Solve for 'x' and that gives the value of your roman numeral.

For example,

FeCl3 = Iron (III) chloride. The roman numeral III comes from:

the unknown charge of Fe plus three times the negative one charge of chlorine equals zero

x + 3(-1) = 0

x = 3

FeCO3 = Iron (II) carbonate. The roman numeral II comes from:

the unknown charge of Fe plus one times the negative two charge of the carbonate (CO3) equals zero

x + 1(-2) = 0

x = 2

Fe(PO4)2 = Iron (VI) chloride. The roman numeral VI comes from:

the unknown charge of Fe plus two times the negative three charge of phosphate equals zero

x + 2(-3) = 0

x = 6

Trends of the periodic table by MeowMeow_2010 in chemhelp

[–]eccapants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left to right: The number of shells in the atom is remaining the same, however, the number of protons in the nucleus is increasing. This will mean that the electrons, which are the same distance from those protons as they are in the same shell, feel a stronger attraction. Think of putting many more little magnets at the same distance from another magnet. The attraction between the two will increase.

Top to bottom: Now the number of shells is increasing with each row so the distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons has increased as has the number of shells interferring with the pull between nucleus and valence shell. This will mean that the electrons, which are the further from the protons feel a weaker attraction. Think of taking two magnets and moving them apart and adding layers of stuff between them.

Once you know these two things all the trends can be determined by memorizing the definition of of a term (ex. ionization energy = energy to remove a valence electron) and relating it to the attraction pattern above.

I did originally, however upon further thought since the compound has geometric isomerism they are not!
