JJ. Thomson
There are ______ moles in 2.13 g of carbon.
What is 0.177 moles.
Describes the irreversibility of processes due to the probability of energy and matter microstates to favor more dispersion. Variable in Maxwell's Relations and is in 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Entropy
Responsible for creating one of the modern definitions of an Acid and Base. Also contributed to the theory of covalent bonding with dot diagrams.
Gilbert N. Lewis
A specific model/definition of acids and bases: Describes acids as H+ donors, bases as H+ acceptors
Bronsted-Lowry
A mathematical model that describes the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Essential to understanding enzyme kinetics
Michaelis-Menten equation
This Russian chemist was the first to arrange the known elements into a periodic table
Dmitri Mendeleev
carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction. Involves addition of an enolate to an aldehyde/ketone.
