    Calculating Entropy Change for N2O4 Equilibrium in Constant Pressure Vessel

    How would I do that? I tried an ICE table but I don't have the value for the equilibrium constant -----------N204------------2 NO2 I -------(1.0 mol)---------(0 mol) C ---------(-x)---------------(x) E-------(1.0 - x)------------(x) So I'm stuck

    Calculating Entropy Change for N2O4 Equilibrium in Constant Pressure Vessel

    1.0 mol of N2O4 placed in a constant pressure vessel at P = 1bar and T = 298 K. The system is allowed to slowly (reversibly) come to equilibrium. Given gibbs energy of formation, enthalpy of formation and entropy (the values are below) calculate the entropy change to the surroundings. N2O4...

    How Do Geologists Determine the Age of Rock Samples Using Isotopic Ratios?

    so then Ao = A (1-e^-kt) Ao/A = 1-e^-kt ln (Ao/A) = +kt but I still get the same answer??

    How Do Geologists Determine the Age of Rock Samples Using Isotopic Ratios?

    Homework Statement Geologists are able to calculate ages of rock samples through measurements of certain isotopic rations combined with known radioactive decay rates (all such decays being considered to adhere to 1st order kinetic rate laws). Two such processes leading to stable isotopes are...

    Can I Change Programs Before UofT Mississauga Starts?

    I was just accepted into UofT Missisauga for social sciences instead of Life Sciences, which is what I applied for. Does anyone know If I can switch to another program before school starts?

    Optimization: Maximizing Profit

    So: R = (1000x)(2000 - 5x) then Profit = Revenue - Cost P = (1000x)(2000 - 5x) - 15 000 000 +1 800 000x + 75x^2 and P' = 200000 - 10150x x= 19.704 #of units = (1000x) = (1000)(19.704) = 19704 units which was the answer in the back of the book Thanks for the help!

    Optimization: Maximizing Profit

    So does that mean I should multiply 2000 - 5x by x to represent the number of units?

    Optimization: Maximizing Profit

    Homework Statement Through market research, a computer manufacturer found that x thousand units of its new laptop will sell at a price of 2000 - 5x dollars per unit. The cost, C, in dollars of producing this many units is C(x) = 15 000 000 +1 800 000x + 75x^2. Determine the level of sales that...

    Simplifying the Right Side of a Fraction Equation

    Oh oops. Sorry about that I let x be 0, 1, and -1 and ended up with the equations -A-C=0, 4A+4B+4C=24 and -8A+8B-8C=-68. Then I used equation 1 and 2 to solve for B . I got B=6 but in our textbook (nelson calculus and vectors 12) it says that B=2. I'm also not sure how you would solve for A...

    Simplifying the Right Side of a Fraction Equation

    The original equation was: (11x^2-14x+9)/[(3x-1)(x^2+1)] = (A)/(3x-1) + (Bx+C/x^2+1) and I ended up with: 11x^4+19x^3-33x^2+27x = 3Ax^3-Ax^2+3Ax-A+3Bx^4-Bx^3+3Bx^2-Bx+3Cx^3-Cx^2+3Cx-C I wasn't sure what to do after that.
