Homework # 1 Due Monday Feb. 14

Chapter 1: E1.9b, E1.23b, E1.20b (use 0.580 kg/m³ for the density instead of 950.99 kg/m³), and P1.7 (hints for P1.7: think of buoyancy from physics, and the experiment was performed TWICE - one of the experiments will give a slightly 'better' answer than the other. Decide which makes more sense after your calculations).

Chapter 24: E24.6b, E24.10b, P24.27

Chapter 21: P21.18, P21.24

Chapter 19: E19.5b, E19.6b, E19.7b, E19.11b, E19.15b.

Chapter 20: E20.13b, E20.17b (hint for E20.17b: the vibrational and rotational constants are basically identical for all 3 species).
P20.10 (solve it at 300K ONLY) and P20.14.

Homework # 2 Due Monday March 28 (at 11:30 am)

Chapter 2: E2.24b, E2.40b, P2.8, P2.25, P2.27

Chapter 3: E3.10b, E3.15b, P3.21, P3.27

Chapter 4: 4.23b, P4.9, P4.8, P4.26

Chapter 5: P5.8, P5.10, P5.15

Homework # 3 Due Monday April 25

Chapter 6: P6.1, P6.2, P6.9, P6.22 [One solution to P6.22 is to use a Taylor expansion for (delta)G, given that it is a function of the pressure p. See Further Information, equation FI1.38. Neglect all terms that are to the third power and higher].

Chapter 7: P7.13, E7.4b, E7.10b

Chapter 8: E8.3b, E8.13b, P8.15

Chapter 9: P9.2, P9.5, P9.24

Suggested Problems for Chapter 10

Problems: 10.15, 10.4, 10.28.
