4 steps in balancing half-reactions under acidic conditions:
1. balance all elements other than H and O 2. balance O by adding H2O as needed 3. balance H by adding H+ as needed 4. balance charge by adding e- as needed
balancing half rxns under basic conditions
1. follow same steps for acidic 2. for each H+ added, add the same number of OH. **Wherever there's a H+ and OH- on same side, combine to make H2O. Cross out excess H2O 3. balance charge by adding e- wherever 4. as needed, add integers to half-rxns to make number of moles of e- equal your half rxns

In the reaction 2X + Y → X2Y, X is second order and Y is zero order. What would we expect to occur if [X] is tripled and [Y] is doubled? A. The rate would increase by a factor of 3 B. The rate would increase by a factor of 5 C. The rate would increase by a factor of 6 D. The rate would increase by a factor of 8 E. The rate would increase by a factor of 9
E. The rate would increase by a factor of 9 Evaluating 2X + Y → X2Y with X being second-order and Y being zero-order, we can leave out Y since changing the concentration of Y would have no effect on the overall rate of the experiment. Understanding the experiment is second-order overall, we then can interpret that the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration. Rate = [X]2, and we triple the concentration of X so Rate = [3X]2 = 9X2. So, if we triple the concentration of X, we multiply the rate by nine.

Recall that all atoms must expend a certain amount of energy to keep their nuclei intact, which can be referred to as nuclear binding energy. We can also define nuclear binding energy as the amount of energy required in order to separate a nucleus into its constituent _________ and ______. The source of this energy is actually the nucleus itself, which uses mass as energy according to Einstein's famous equation: _________. Because mass is directly converted into energy, nuclear binding energy results in a ______ ______ , which means that the nucleus is not quite as heavy as the combined mass of the nucleus' protons and neutrons.
