In the formation of sulfur hexaflouride, does the reaction at constant pressure or volume proceed more spontaneously? I've done the calcs to show that at constant volume, it is slightly more spontaneous, but I can't seem to find a good reason why... it might have ...

In terms of bomb calorimetry, can one assume the temperature of the water surrounding the cmopartment is equal to the temperature within the compartment? If not, how would one determine T for the reaction occuring inside the compartment?

Solve the following differential equation, i.e. solve for y: dy/dx - y/x = 1/x + y + 1 I have this so far, 1. dy/dx= (y + 1 + xy + x)/x 2. x dy = (y + 1 + xy + x)dx 3. Integrate both sides... xy + c = xy + x + .5x^2y + .5x^2 + k where c and k are constants 4. c = x + .5x^2 (y...

how would i solve the differential equation dx/dt=-kx^2 i.e. solve for x as a function of t. I've been told to rearrange the equation to yield dx/x^2=-k dt but what can and should I do now?

Physics - Electricity
Can you please check my answers. 1) What carries energy through wire? electrons 2) What happens to some of the energy when it moves through the wire? becomes lost due to the movement of energy requiring some kinetic energy 3) If a resistance is large, why does the wire heat up...

Sport - Football
In FLAG FOOTBALL, how many players are allowed on the field at one time and what are their positions' names? Please help, I'm in Australia and Football just ain't as big as it is in some other countries.

HOCl forms from OCl- + H+ and vice versa. the anion is hypocholrite (OCl-). Given the attaching proton is positively charged and out of O and Cl, O is more nucleophilic (Cl has the highest electronegativity), the H will attach to the O atom making the oxygen the cetral atom. I...
