Assume that fat is the only fuel source . (1oz = 454g) Use dimensional /unit analysis to solve this problem.
At 39.9ºC, a solution of ethanol (XetOH = 0.9006, P * etOH = 130.4 Torr) and isooctane (P * iso = 43.9 Torr) forms a vapor phase with YetOH = 0.6667. The total pressure is 185.9
a. Calculate the activity and the activity coefficient of each component.b. Calculate the total pressure the solution would have if it were ideal.c. Comparing the ideal pressure to the actual pressure, what does this indicate about the molecular interactions?

When 10.0 g of NaCl are added in 200.0 mL of water at 25.0oC in a coffee-cup calorimeter, 669 J of heat are absorbed. (Assume that there is no change in volume, d=1.00 g/mL, specific heat=4.18 J/g.oC). Evaluate the truthfulness of this statement: "Based on the above description, the solution process (i.e., the dissolution of NaCl or the breakdown of NaCl into its constituent ions) is exothermic."
