    Entropy changes for reactions: Understanding Periodic Trends

    One question posed in a general chem book I have were the trends of a couple of reaction types. They don't answer the question of why, though. Maybe you can help... Identify periodic trends of these rxns: Set 1: H2 + X2 --> 2HX (X are halogens) Ex: H2(g) + Cl2(g) --> 2HCL (g)...

    Best oxidizing and reducing agent in periodic table

    I need to find the best oxidizing and reducing agent in the periodic table and say why i chose what i chose. I think the best oxidizing agent is Fluorine and the best reducing agent is Lithium I am not sure if my predictions are correct and if they are I don't know how to explain why I...

    Reconciling the Use of Periodic Boundary Conditions in Solid State Physics

    I'm taking solid state, and again and again we use the periodic boundary conditions, that the wavefunction should be unchanged by displacements of the length of the sample, L (assume 1D for simplicity). The argument was that the surface is so far away that it shouldn't have an effect on the...

    1D wave PDE with extended periodic IC

    I have formula for 1D wave equation: (*) u(x, t) = 1/2 [ f(x + ct) + f(x - ct) ] + 1 / (2c) Integral( g(s), wrt s, from x-ct to x+ct ) I am trying to find u(1/2, 3/2) when L = 1, c = 1, f(x) = 0, g(x) = x(1 - x). However, for (*) to work, the initial position f(x) and initial velocity...

    Exploring Periods of the Periodic Table

    Hi guys. I have to do a little written report about Periodic table and I have to write either about Groups, Periods or Transition elements. I have decided to write about Periods. First I wrote what a periodic table is and how it is formed (just a little histry) then I explained the order...

    How Does a Spring Attached to a Pivoting Rod Demonstrate Simple Harmonic Motion?

    I am working on a problem that has a few angles of approach. I am hoping to get at least that right before I waste too much more time. The problem is a slender, uniform, rigid rod is placed to pivot on its center, so that the rotation is taking place at the ends of the rod. then a spring...

    Periodic Solutions to DE with Extra Condition: Solving for Unknown Constants

    I don't know how to use the extra condition given in the this problem: f^{\prime\prime}+\lambda f = 0, f=f\left(r\right) f\left(r\right) = f\left(r+\pi\right) For \lambda = 0, the solution is some constant. For other \lambda, I put \lambda=k^2, and get f^{\prime\prime}+k^2 f =...

    Determining the period of a periodic motion

    Hi. I am currently working on a problem involving a ball being dropped from a hieght of 4m making a perfectly elastic collision with the ground. Assuming no mechanical energy is lost due to air resistance, I must find the period of the motion. I used the equation V(final) = V(initial) - gt...

    How to Plot the Output Response of a Sawtooth Waveform Using Laplace Transform?

    I need to plot several cycles of the output response. The waveform is sawtooth, starting at 0 and taking 1 second to peak at 10, returning to 0 in 1 second. The transfer function is S/S+1 So far I've got 10/1-e^-2s ((1/s^2) - ( e^-s/s^2) - (e^-2s/s^2) as the Laplace Transform of the...

    Periodic Wave Solutions of the Wave Equation

    Every "spacially periodic" function [i.e. s.t there exist P s.t. f(x+P,t) = f(x,t)] of the form f(x,t) = X(x)cos(wt) is a solution of the wave equation.
