If I have aqueous sulfuric acid solution as electrolyte and the anode electrode is made out of copper and the cathode electrode is made out of graphite, what are the two reactions at the respective electrodes and why? Anode: $$\ce{Cu → Cu^{2+} + 2e-}$$ Cathode: $$\ce{2e- + 2H+ → H2(g)}$$ Total...

I have a question about the derivation of the formula for relation between Specific Conductance and Equivalent Conductance i.e. Eq. Conductance = k.V where, k= Specific Conductance ,V=Volume in ml Given link explains the derivation http://www.adichemistry.com/physical...chemistry.html (Check u...

Despite the fact that oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bond in $\ce{CO}$ presents a weak dipole moment. This observation can easily be explained using the concept of "dative bond", that is, one bond is formed with two electrons from oxygen, producing a polarization $\ce{O\bond{->

This question was in my book. According to me CO should be polar as it should have a dipole moment. But I found that the $\sigma$-electron drift from C to O is almost nullified by the $\pi$-electron drift from O to C. What is about the $\pi$-electron drift towards the Carbon atom? In Google it...

Well I know for a fact that cis alkenes are less stable than trans alkenes due to steric repulsions. But what bugs me is the fact that why systems such as 2-Methylprop-1-ene (where I believe steric repulsions are greater than that in cis-But-2-ene) are stabler than its cis and trans counterparts...

Hey Experts i am new to regex.I am really confused by studying this regex.I have found something which is very difficult to understand for me.The thing is the use of question mark and equal to symbol in regex.An eg : "(?<=\d)(\s)(?=[\d-])" I just need to know the use of ?= in this regex code....

Given $\ce{SO2}$, $\ce{SO4^{2-}}$, $\ce{SO3^{2-}}$ arrange them from the shortest bond length to the longest. I actually did arrange them, but i am not sure (my answer: $\ce{SO3^{2-}}$, $\ce{SO2}$, $\ce{SO4^{2-}}$)

In a poorly ventilated room, I'd certainly avoid using both at the same time. Ammonia is very volatile and will usually "find" the only slightly less volatile chlorine gas - or perhaps the bleach itself. -Chemist. PS: A poorly vented bathroom is in itself a bad idea. ;)

I have on hand a high-precision wavefunction expressed in Slater orbitals. I need to express it as accurately as possible in a minimal Gaussian basis set. For background: I am currently working with STO-6G, but it is not good enough to describe the cusp condition with the accuracy I need. How c...

Hi all! Google published recently questions that are asked to candidates on interviews. One of them caused very very hot debates in our company and we're unsure where the truth is. The question is: In a country in which people only want boys every family continues to have children until ...

I registered my Stack Overflow account using the Stack Exchange OpenID provider. I later changed my e-mail, but I cannot change the e-mail address associated with my OpenID for some reason. Why is that, and how do I change it? I logged in to Stack Exchange and it lets me change my password, but n...
