Thank you for your reply Borek. I think it might be a combination of electron distribution (nucleophilic/electrophilic potential of individual C positions), the amount of steric hindrance and the type of reaction applied that determines where the next reaction takes place. Let's see what an organic chemist will say about this.

Z ukłonami, (hope that was correct)

Looks like the problem is the factor of n in your expression of the exponent. You must be consistent in using either molar heat capacities or total heat capacities in both numerator and denominator. You can't use nR/cm.
The exponent is (Cp/Cv - 1), which in total heat capacities is nR/Cv, or in molar heat capacities is R/Cv,m.
I think just using γ-1 as the exponent is simpler and avoids this possible confusion.

alternative equation: T2=T1(v1/v2)^y-1 , cv is also needed for y

Undergraduate General Chemistry Forum / cm vs cv (adiabatic equation)

Hello,

I have to solve the following problem: 2 moles of argon are expanded reversibly and adiabatically. Before expansion, the gas has a temperature of 30 ◦C (303,15 K) with a volume of 2 L. After expansion, the volume is 15 L. The
Molar heat capacity of argon is cm = 12.4 J/mol K. What is the temperature of the gas after
of expansion ? to solve that problem I use the adiabatic equation : T2= T1 * (V1/V2)^(nR/cv)   My question is if cm is the same as cv? When I use cm as cv, I get  20 K for T2 which seems wrong. Thanks in advance

Analytical Chemistry Forum / Re: Acid chloride TLC

Thionyl chloride would not visualize on tlc and probably degrades immediately.

You should co-spot your starting material to see how it runs. I think this is straightforward enough though, the product on the baseline is the starting material, the one that runs is the ester.

Honestly though, using an excess of thionyl chloride most acid chlorides quantitatively convert to acid chlorides in a couple hours, I personally do not even track such a reaction by TLC. The act of taking some out and forming the ester with it will cause some hydrolysis due to wet solvents so I just trust the chemistry.

I am not an organiker, so take my answer with a grain of salt.

Regioselectivity in aromatic compounds is in a large part related to deviations in the electron density - which is to some extent related to the presence of resonance structures. In general, the more resonance structures possible, the lower their individual effect (ie the deviations from the equal distribution become smaller). The larger the molecule, the more atoms involved, the more the resonance structures possible - and the less prominent effects.

So if the selectivity of the reaction on a single ring is such that you get a 90:10 mixture of products, you can speak about the reaction being selective. When you get to several rings and you get mixture of 5:6:7:5:5:4:... it is hard to speak about "selectivity" as such.

This is not to say there are no specific examples when the reaction can be selective, it is just that the general trend seems to be working against.

Is this question really that difficult to answer or is it unclear what exactly is being asked here? I see multiple threads have been answered since my post but unfortunately not mine :-(

Why do cations with greater oxidation number form stronger metallic bonds with itself?

Do they? Metallic bonds exist in metals between neutral atoms, no cations/oxidized atoms there.

I just don't understand why can you separate the equations for CH4.

And also why do you add the products to the concentration equation?

Thanks for your help

and protons have the same charge as electrons

This is wrong the charges are in opposit. Protons are positiv and electrons are negativ.
In a metal the oxidation number is Zero.

What do you mean with

.
In compounds of metal and nonmetals we have ionic bonds, where also a oxidationnumber is existing. But normally no metalic bonds.
