Use the standard reduction potentials located in the 'Tables' linked above to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: Fe2+(aq) + Co(s)  Fe(s) + Co2+(aq) Hint: Carry at least 5 significant figures during intermediate calculations to avoid round off error when taking the antilogarithm. You may use the OWL references to find the values you may need in this question. Equilibrium constant:  G° for this reaction would be       than zero.
Practice questions Solve clearly on a paper showing steps clearly including all diagrams Consider the truss shown below: a) Develop the global structural stiffness matrix [K] considering that the axial stiffness of both truss members is identical, i.e. (AE/L)1 = (AE/L)2= 100 kip/in. b) Report the matrix equation you would use to solve for the displacements at the unconstrained degrees of freedom. c) Report the matrix equation you would use to solve for the unknown reactions. Note that all members are axial members and deflections are small. You do not need to solve the matrix equations for displacements or reactions. LX 3 1 2 2 5 100 kip 50 kip LED Tt ! © B > Ր ...
