  • Nernst Equation simplification help?

    So my book says, Eion= 2.303(RT/zF)log([ion]o/[ion]i)

    It says at body temperature at 37 degrees Celsius, K+ simplifies to:

    Ek= (61.54mV)log([ion]o/[ion]i)

    What are the in between steps?

    It says T & F are constants, so I crossed them out.

    Then its says the temperature is 37 and I multiplied that by 2.303 and divided by 1 because the charge on K is +1.

    I got 85.211 mV?

    My work: (((2.303)(37))/1= 85.211 mV

    It says T= absolute temperature?

    so do I have to convert the 37 degrees Celsius or something?

    confused.

  • CH3+ formal charge confused?

    CF3+ how would you draw the lewis dot diagram for that? Wouldn't the formal charge for C be 4+7+7+7=25

    25-1=24e-

    I thought that Carbon had to have 4 bonds around it always? My teacher drew it with 3 bonds?

    C with 3 F's around it and only single bonds on each C-F. Shouldn't it have 4 bonds? so a double bond on one of the F's? then the formal charge for C 4-(4-0)=0 but then thats not right..ahhh so confused

  • Choose the correct order of the increasing bond polarity.?

    Choose the correct order of the increasing bond polarity.

    H-F>H-Cl>H-Br>H-I

    H-F<H-Cl<H-Br<H-I

    H-F>H-Cl<H-Br<H-I

    H-F>H-Cl>H-Br<H-I

    I think it's the first one?

  • pre lab Q help organic chem?

    1. Calculate how much 95% ethyl alcohol will be required to dissolve 0.3g of sulfanilamide at 78*C.

    2. Using the volume from step 1, calculate how much sulfanilamide will remain dissolved in the mother liquor after the mixture is cooled to 0*C.

    There are no examples in my lab book or suggested equations for us to use. Could someone show & explain the work to me.

  • Influenza diagnosis antibodies IgA and I gG?

    A sick child may have influenza or RSV. These virus infections have different treatment options, so the physician requests antibody titer tests. The results are as follows: anti-influenza antibodies are primarily IgM, and anti-RSV antibodies are all IgA and IgG. Which of the following is the most appropriate interpretation?

    the child has a current RSV infection and was previously exposed to influenza.

    the results do not provide sufficient data to draw a conclusion.

    the child currently has influenza and has previously been exposed to RSV.

    the child has concurrent influenza and RSV infections.

    the child has neither influenza nor RSV.

  • How long should I have to wait for my last pay check? IL?

    Fired from my job but haven't received my last pay check? I live in IL.

    I got fired from my job 2 days before I was suppose to receive my paycheck for the prior 2 weeks of work. They said they would mail me it. We were suppose to be paid Monday but now it's Saturday & I still haven't received my check. Wouldn't it only take three days to send at max, and if not why should I have to wait for my check instead of just picking it up when I usually do?
