1.1 Consider 5 kg (i.e. 5000 g) of chlorobenzene spilled into a container which is completely filled with water (Volume of container = 10000 L) at room temperature (25 0C). Is there enough amount of chlorobenzene to saturate water? Given sufficient time, what would be the concentration of chlorobenzene in water? How much chlorobenzene, if any, will remain as spilled liquid (not dissolved in the water)? (Points: 10)

A transparent oil with index of refraction n = 1.24 spills on the surface of certain crystal (with unknown index of refraction) with a thickness of 0.423 μm. Normally incident red light (wavelength 700 nm in air) produces a maximum of reflection. (a) What can you tell about the index of diffraction of the crystal? (b) Which wavelength in the visible spectrum (400 nm - 700 nm) would also give constructive interference? And destructive? (c) Which index of refraction should...

A solution contains 32 g/L of tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane, also known as TRIS base (pKb= 5.9) (Molec Wt= 121.12). to 35 mL of this TRIS solution, 25 ml of 0.1N HCl solution is added and the volume is made up to 100 mL. What is the pH of the solution? It is known that one mole of TRIS base reacts with one mole of HCL to give one mole of TRIS-HCL salt

a) Consider a brass cylinder that is suspended in air. Air is also a fluid, with density ρair = 1.29 × 10−3 g/cm3 and yet you seldom consider the buoyant force exerted by air when you deal with an object like this. To see why determine the ratio, FB/Fgrav, of the buoyant force exerted by the air on the cylinder to the gravitational force exerted on the cylinder, whose density can be assumed to be 8.5 × 103 kg/m3 ....
