A plastic bag containing 0.2 kg of water at 20°C is dropped from a height of 0.5 m onto an insulating carpet. Assume that the bag does NOT break. What is the approximate probability that a similar bag sitting on a carpet will do the reverse; that is, spontaneously jump 0.5 m in the air? Express your answer in the form "Probability = 10-x," where x is a number you will calculate. (Hint: Note that ey = 10y÷ln(10).)

It turns out van der Waals was very careful when “designing” the van der Waals equation: P = [RT / (Vm−b)] − (a / V^2m). If you’re not sure, let’s see why he divided the "a" term by V^2m and not Vm. Specifically, can you calculate the residual volume of an alternative equation of state: P = [RT / (Vm − b)] − (a / Vm) and show that the residual volume is -∞ L/mol
Consider the throwing of the two dice simultaneously. The sum of the faces of the two dice that are face-up after being thrown (or rolled) can be thought of as representing the state of the dice. What is the total number of possible states of the dice when they are thrown? (Don't forget that each possible state may have a multiplicity greater than one.) What about the probability of finding the dice in the state where their total is 4 after being thrown?

Suppose that a ball is tossed at a wall; what is the probability that it will tunnel through to the other side? The mass of the ball is 0.14 kg, the width of the wall is a = 0.2 m, and the one who tossed the ball was deadly tired, so that the ball is tossed only weakly at 1.0 m/s.
The highest building in Montreal is the ‘1 square building’, with a height of 203m. The atmospheric pressure in the streets of Montreal is P1 = 9.9 x 104 Pa. Suppose air density is constant : ρair = 1,2 kg/m3 and g = 9.8 m/s2. Suppose the rooftop temperature to be T = 298K, and the air composition is 100% N2 molecules. d. How would you find the probability for a molecule picked randomly to have a speed in the range vrms and vrms+5.0 m/s. (No calculations needed) e. Find the ratio between the most probable speed (vmp) and the mean speed (vmean). The collision cross-section of N2 molecules is 0.43 nm2. f. Find the collision frequency. Is it in the order of magnitude that you were expecting? Now, consider Earth's atmosphere as 80% N2 and 20% O2. (No calculations needed) g. Explain if larger, smaller, or equal to the previous situation: - Ratio vmp/vmean - The rms speed vrms - Probability to find a molecule at a speed between vrms and vrms+5.0 m/s. - Collision frequency.
