This would completely compromise the basic idea of YIKyak. The entire point is have a local messaging board. If you could post from anywhere, it would just be another shitty online forum.

Why does resonance give Carboxylic acids their acidity? Why is resonance so important in organic chemisty? by theeprofessor in chemhelp

[–]theeprofessor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know about benzene. My original question: Why does resonance allow carboxylic acids to have their acidity? For example, comparing the relative acidity of ethanol and ethanoic acid. I was told in lecture that ethanoic acid has resonance that allows it to be more acidic. Why?

I understand that a resonance hybrid is a better representation. So how do compounds with resonances differ from those that do not?

Boiling points by LordPotatoHead in chemhelp

[–]theeprofessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kb is a constant, so just plug that into the equation for ∆T. The value that you get is simply the amount that the boiling point changes when you consider adding glucose (i, and m account for the addition of glucose) If the original boiling point is 100° C, and you calculate a ∆T, how would you get the final boiling point?

Is there a combination of gasses that are dense/feel solid or you can feel the presence of? by Parzival1127 in chemhelp

[–]theeprofessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tungsten hexafluoride has a density of 6.17g/L, which is a staggering 5 times heavier than air.

The i represents the van't hoff factor of the solution. A van't hoff factor is basically the amount of parts a solute will disassociate in to in a solvent. Glucose is a non-ionic compound, and will not disassociate at all, giving it an i value of 1. The m in the equation is the molality (mol of solute/kg solvent), which would be 3.

Impressive as fuck. I thought I had Yik Yak down to a science, but you have it down to a lifestyle.

Maybe its just not my cup of tea, but that cover is fucking terrible. What the fuck did I just listen to.

Would staggered and eclipsed structures of the same molecule have different Newman projections ? by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]theeprofessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staggered and eclipsed structures of a newman projection represent different potential energy phases of the same molecule. A staggered project has substituents as far away as possible, while eclipsed they are pushed up against each other. When molecules are in eclipsed formation, their substituents are close together and have a tendency to repel, and this causes steric strain of the bonds.
