Hello,
This is a matter I have been having some difficulties with for the past few days. My question: How is it that I would go about distinguishing molecular compounds in regards to their capacity to ionize and yield hydrogen ions when dissolved into distilled water?
For example, if...
Canada has a number of universities that may offer strong engineering / engineering physics programs. The stronger schools you'll likely find in the eastern provinces, maybe Alberta and the west coast. I've heard that the University of British Columbia offers a strong Engineering Physics program...
Hello,
I wouldn't necessarily regard this as homework. While these are errors I believe I have found within an online course in which I am currently enrolled, my asking is simply carried out with interest in acquiring an accurate knowledge of entry-level chemistry.
While studying polar...
I'm not certain if the General Physics section of this forum is the place where this question will receive any attention, but here's to hoping!
I am trying to identify a way in which one could accurately calculate which compound or element would serve as the ideally effective material for a...
