7060999545Limited GovernmentThe concept of limited government was a major feature of each State constitution. The powers delegated to government were granted reluctantly and hedged with many restrictions.65
7060999546Civil Rights and LibertiesIn every State it was made clear that the sovereign people held certain rights that the government must respect at all times. Seven of the new constitutions contained a bill of rights, setting out the "unalienable rights" held by the people.66
7060999547Separation of Powers and Checks and BalancesThe powers granted to the new State governments were purposely divided among three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. Each branch was given powers with which to check (restrain the actions of) the other branches of the government.67

PES graphs will group the subshells in their respective energy levels. The number of electrons in the subshell determines the height of each subshell peak. Electron configurations mirror PES graphs64

13857453148Hybridizations and p orbitals combine in sigma bonding 2 domains = sp hybrid 3 domains = sp2 hybrid 4 domains = sp3 hybrid Each double bond only has one sigma bond, so double bonds only count for one domain.90

13857453209KeqThe equilibrium constant is the ratio of products/reactants Keq > 1 means a greater concentration of products than reactants when the reaction has reached equilibrium Keq < 1 means a greater concentration of reactants than products when reaction reaches equilibrium An equilibrium constant in the area of millions means the reaction will go to completion A really tiny Keq means very little product will be made151

13857453249Galvanic vs Electrolytic CellsGalvanic cells do work and run spontaneously deltaG = - Ecell = + Keq is large Galvanic cells will usually be shown with the solutions of the two half-cells separated with a salt bridge Electrolytic cells must have a power source that forces the electrons to the cathode Reduction occurs at the cathode Oxidation occurs at the anode deltaG is positive Ecell is negative Keq is close to 0 Salt bridge is not necessary191
13857453250Where to find the number of coulombs of electrons in a moleFaraday's constant: 96485 coulombs/mol e-192
13857453251Electrolytic cell current-time calculations for mol of substance reduced1) amps x seconds = coulombs of electrons 2) coulombs of electrons are divided by Faraday's constant 3) mole e- from electrolysis/ electrons used in reduction reaction193
