At 700 K acetaldehyde decomposes in the gas phase to methane and
carbon monoxide. The reaction is:
CH3CHO(g)→CH4(g)+CO(g)
A sample of CH3CHO is heated to 700 K and the pressure is measured
as 0.43 atm before any reaction takes place. The kinetics of the
reaction are then followed by measurements of total pressure and
these data are obtained:
t(s) | 0 | 1000 | 3000 | 7000 |
PTotal (atm) | 0.43 | 0.50 | 0.59 | 0.68 |
Question:
Find total pressure after 1.39×104 s .

How do you find Eo of a cell?
Is the formula Eo cell= cathode - anode?
Or is it Eo= Oxidation + Reduction?
i am very confused as to when I should add the cell potentials together and when I should subtract. If at all possible, please provide examples!

Particle in a box: given the number of carbon atoms, and the wavelength. How do I find the highest filled orbital, the lowest unoccupied orbital, and the box length. (ex. # of C atoms = 4, wavelength = 508.9nm. HFO = ?, LUO= ?, Box length = ?nm
L=√[(hʎ/8mc) (n^2-n^2 )] I believe I need to use this equation to find the box length. I just don't know how to find what the n values are.
