Hi everyone! I’ve been tasked with proposing a mechanism for an upcoming lab for the synthesis of 3-5-dimethylpyrazole using hydrazine sulphate.

After much research I’ve managed to come up with this mechanism in the picture, which looks right to me. However 3-5-dimethylhydrazine has a hydrogen attached to one of the nitrogen’s and mine doesn’t. Any help understanding where I’ve gone wrong will be much help, thank you!

took a 3 year gap trying out non academic path in the middle of high school but eventually came back to academia and choose chemistry as my major as out of all the major this is the most established and job ready one, but its the best of the worst, and this stops me from properly putting in efforts, i guess i will research about the job market in real life, but still the faculty expects me to make chemistry my whole life's goal when i just do not have the enthusiastic about life, this undergrad is like backup for me,

how to have the confidence to accept this as a thing i can do passively? not avoidantly but passively, i keep chasing perfection thinking i shall know and understand everything in my chemistry lab handbook from every sign to word, but before an exam all that works is a summary from ai about what the syllabus actually is about and wants me to know, yet still the crisis of confidence keeps me from making me know everything from basic

Hi everyone!

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Chemistry at NIT Durgapur.

I'm looking to teach Chemistry online to students in Classes 11 and 12, as well as JEE aspirants.

My focus will be on building conceptual clarity, understanding the logic behind reactions, and solving problems systematically rather than just memorising

facts.

What I can help with:

Class 11-12 Chemistry

JEE Main Chemistry

JEE Advanced Chemistry

Concept building, problem-solving and doubt-clearing

I want to keep the classes interactive and adapt the teaching pace to each student's needs.

If you're interested, please DM me with your class, target exam. We can discuss the class format, schedule and fees.

Language:Hindi, English

Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for reading

Tengo que hacer esta tarea de química sobre cinética y velocidad de reacción, la profesora puso este ejercicio pero creo que se equivocó al redactarlo, o no sé si yo estoy mal. En el texto dice que “La luminosidad de la barrita dura más tiempo en el recipiente que está a mayor temperatura” pero según yo es al revés, no? Teóricamente, la luminosidad debería durar más en la barrita que está en agua con menor temperatura, el frío retrasa la reacción y por lo tanto dura más. Estaba escribiendo mi respuesta cuando me di cuenta de eso y me estanqué aquí. Alguien que sepa de esto me podría ayudar y corregir si estoy mal?

Is this the correct “skeleton” for starting the Lewis structure? My friend looked at it and said that the bottom carbon needed 2 hydrogen (which I added) but why would it specify (HO) so only one hydrogen if I needed to add 2 for carbon to have its 4 bond? Sorry if this is a dumb question I’m obviously not a chem major 😂 any help is appreciated! Thanks

I’m currently taking Orgo II and haven’t done as well as I’d hoped on the first two exams. I’m sitting at a C+ and feeling pretty discouraged.

I feel like I understand the material when studying, but it’s not translating to my exam scores. The sheer volume of reactions and information we’re learning is starting to feel overwhelming, especially as we continue building on previous material.

I’ve put together a reaction notebook, but I’ll admit I could be more consistent with daily practice and may be cramming more than I realize. I’m wondering if I need to change my approach to studying altogether.
With three exams remaining, I’d really like to turn my grade around and finish strong. I’d genuinely appreciate any advice on managing the volume of material, retaining reactions, and preparing more effectively for exams!

Hello. I went back to school for pre med pre reqs so I haven’t took chem in 10 years. This honestly was more of a learning curve than I thought for chemistry. Anyway my first exam I got a 64. Bad I know. I can still get a pretty good grade in the class with the remaining work. We have our next exam November 6th so I have 3 full weeks for 3 chapters. (4-6). Here’s the dilemma of course I’m behind which has been the case in chem all year. Like I feel like I get discouraged super easily, ADHD or something but it’s not fully clicking. I’ve been using chads prep, SI, the free tutor available at the school and idk why it’s just frustrating. It’s annoying too because I know this stuff is suppose to be the “easy” chem work and I just don’t know what’s going on

Anyway the chapters topics on our next exam are
Types of reactions
Balancing equations
Net ionic equations (I think this is oxidation and acid base reactions?)
Stoichiometry
Limiting reactants
Theoretical and percent yield
Redox and finding electrons transferred
Calorimetry
Hess law
Heats of formation

So there’s about ten topics or so?? Give or take. I just feel like so overwhelmed because my foundation is not strong to begin with. I haven’t fully memorized polyatomic and acids with I believe I need to know for balancing and oxidation? Are there any good YouTube videos on these topics? Like is 3 weeks even enough time to get this down if I really try to put my head down here.

How is that possible. Isn’t silicone and plastic too different materials.

Hi everyone! One of my friends is taking gen chem 2 and I wanted to help her out with this question but I'm pretty rusty on the course material. I was wondering what the general steps to approach this problem would be? Off the top of my head, I was thinking; 1.) Double replacement to make new equation 2.) Make ICE table to solve for missing concentrations 3.) Plug x values into new equation to get concentrations 4.) Take new concentrations and make ice table with original equation, then solve for x again

I just had my first organic chemistry midterm and I’m feeling super defeated. Everyone I’ve talked to said that they also found the exam super challenging, but as a high achiever, I’m super disappointed in myself. The exam was much more difficult than the practice problems and exams. I probably should have started studying earlier, but I learned all of the content, made notes and studied them, did all my problem sets and understood them , did practice exams and did well on those. It felt like everything I studied left my brain as soon as I started the exam. I know I made so many dumb mistakes that I haven’t made before, like saying a lone pair could do resonance with a double bond when in reality the lone pair was too far away from the double bond, saying a chiral centre was R instead of S, etc. it took me so long to do each question, and I still did them wrong. I don’t think I’m able to recognize patterns fast enough. I can’t predict products of mechanisms without drawing out the whole mechanism, I can’t recognize if two molecules are resonance structures without actually doing the resonance, and I feel like most people don’t have to do this. There was one question where we were given the products of the reaction mechanism and chemical formula of the reactant and we had to draw what the reactant looked like and I cannot do those types of problems for the life of me. I have a visuospatial learning disability, so that definitely makes organic chemistry more challenging for me, but I’ve been able to do very well in other subjects that require visuospatial skills, like math and statistics. I have never felt so stupid in my life lol. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve/solve problems faster? Or any good resources that provide tricky practice problems?

guys i’m so confused how does 2-pentyl butanoate make sense. I have no idea how to draw it bc i thought we didn’t have to number esters. I would appreciate any help, i’m in a grade 12U class

The chemistry teachers in my area aren't good and the chemistry department in my area is notorious for being bad. I am currently struggling with chemistry. On top of this I believe my professor is borderline schizophrenic. Sometimes he doesn't really even teach for half the class and is just crashing out about his personal life. It seems he has lost his touch for teaching imo. I try to be nice to him but it is never reciprocated back. I am trying to understand his teaching style but it seems disorganized. Class lecture is just always unorganized and I can't seem to understand what is going on. I get a gist of it but I struggle mainly with math part/unit conversion/dimensional analysis. He gets off on the fact not passing people. And I have tried to ask him questions during tutoring but no one actually goes. Every time I go he looks annoyed that I asked a question and or looks at me like I'm stupid. I've being watching organic chemistry tutor I get a gist of what they are talking about but in reality I still struggle with the topics on the test and on top of this the worksheets he gives out are really simple concepts but it does not translate and is not specific of what he wants....but when I get to the test it is very specific which makes it hard to understand because he says do the "worksheets and review" and you should be fine...yet the tests look nothing like the review or worksheets...so how do I know what he wants when I can't understand what he wants...and then he gets annoyed when I don't understand what he wants...it's been really frustrating. On top of this he says stuff like sometimes people aren't meant for certain things

I don't see how the ethoxide catalyzes this reaction. The only thing that comes to mind is if it deprotonates the amino groups but it can't do that due to the difference in Pk

basically my prof is offering extra credit for rechecking your work before she releases the rubric and i want to make sure i know whats wrong and whats right. much appreciated

I understand how u can draw out and cancel vectors to determine polarity but I’m so confused on how dro do this when there are multiple central atoms? Ik u look at them differently and be like ok this part is polar but idk what else since if one part is polar cant the whole molecule still be polar?

In lab, we are determining the type of inhibition D-Phe and L-Phe will have on Alkaline Phosphatase. Now, I believe the enzyme is an L-stereoisomer so D-Phe will show no inhibition. Still, I'm confused as to why my Dixon plot looks like this. I feel like I messed up the fixed time assay. Please, let me know how these look to you. (they are NOT finished; I made them 5 mins ago).

I know that both s's have to be bonded together and that the formal chargers have to be minimized, but I have tried various different ways but I still keep getting it wrong. Any solutions for the issue?
