Chapter 8, Problem 12SE

The article “Enthalpies and Entropies of Transfer of Electrolytes and Ions from Water to Mixed Aqueous Organic Solvents” (G. Hefter, Y. Marcus, and W. Waghorne, Chemical Reviews, 2002:2773–2836) presents measurements of entropy and enthalpy changes for many salts under a variety of conditions. The following table presents the results for entropies of transfer (in J/K · mol) from water to water + methanol of NaCl (table salt) over a range of concentrations of methanol:

Concentration (%) Entropy
5 1
10 –1
20 –7
30 –17
40 –28
50 –39
60 –52
70 –65
80 –80
90 –98
100 –121
  1. a. Fit polynomial models of degrees 1. 2. and 3 to predict the entropy (y) from the concentration (x).
  2. b. Which degree polynomial is the most appropriate? Explain.
  3. c. Using the most appropriate model, find 99% confidence intervals for the coefficients.

Let X1, .... Xn be a random sample from a population with location pdf f(x-Q). Show that the order statistics, T(X1, ...., Xn) = (X(1), ... X(n)) are a sufficient statistics for Q and no further reduction is possible?
The article “n-Nonane Hydroconversion on Ni and Pt Containing HMFI, HMOR and HBEA” (G. Kinger and H. Vinek, Applied Catalysis A: General, 2002:139–149) presents hydroconversion rates (in μmol/g · s) of n-nonane over both HMFI and HBEA catalysts. The results are as follows: HMFI: 0.43 0.93 1.91 2.56 3.72 6.19 11.00 HBEA: 0.73 1.12 1.24 2.93 Can you conclude that the mean rate differs between the two catalysts?
In the article “Influence of Crack Width on Shear Behaviour of SIFCON” (C. Fritz and H. Reinhardt, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites: Proceedings of the International RILEM/ACI Workshop, 1992), the maximum shear stress τ of a cracked concrete member is given to be τ = τ0(1 − kw), where τ0 is the maximum shear stress for a crack width of zero, w is the crack width in mm, and k is a constant estimated from experimental data. Assume k = 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1. Given that τ0 = 50 MPa and w = 1.0 mm, both with negligible uncertainty, estimate τ and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
