For example: If they gave you KClO and asked you to name it... The answer is Potassium Hypochlorite, because you base it off of the loss of two oxygen atoms from the most common chlorine ion (ClO3). My question is, why can't I base it off of Clorite (ClO2), so that the name of KClO would then...

Homework Statement I'm probably incredibly rusty, but I can't seem to solve this. I've been given the space V = C[-\pi,\pi] (continous functions on the closed segment) with the next linear transformation: T(f(x)) = g(x) = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}[1+cos(x-t)]f(t)dt I ought to prove that T(V), the...

What is the BJT base current if the base is connected to a zener diode like in the circuit here - http://www.satcure-focus.com/tutor/page5.htm With a voltage divider it's thevenin's equivalent. But with zener, should I consider it as a voltage source?

greetings, what are the differences between base,emitter and collector? thanks.

I am studying the influence of a gyroscopic effect of wheels/tyres on a steering system in a car. I can't seem to get my head around few concepts. It boils down to a simple problem. Consider a free spinning gyroscope wheel with horizontally aligned axis. This axis is mounted in a vertical...

I am trying to solve the following problem. It is not homework since I am just brushing up =) but I will try posting it here. I have the following base 14 subtraction problem: 35 - AB = ? I can look up the answer, which is shown as 68 (base 14). But, for the life of my, I can...

When you throw in LiAlH4 with a carboxylic acid, you always see the reaction being written out as the Hydride ion attacking the carbonyl function. But why can't it just de-protonate the OH? Also, can't LAH also deprotonate alpha carbons of carbonyl functions that are pretty acidic? Why...

I have been told that if we have two operators, A and B, such that AB = BA then this is equivalent with that A and B have a common base of eigenfunctions. However, the proof given was made under the assumption that the operators had a non-degenerate spectrum. Now I understand that one rather...

Lets say you titrate a weak acid, HA, with a strong base, NaOH. Now, before the equivalence point, the pH is calculated like a buffer because HA + OH- -> A- + H2O. So you have a mixture of a an acid and its conjugate base. My question is, why doesn't this act like a neutralization reaction...
