Question 1: Use specimens to fill in the following table. Provide the specimen name(s) that you are using as a reference for each species (Homo species only). For most questions provide a briefdescription of the trait (1-2 sentences at most). For questions that ask about presence of a trait, simply indicate if this trait is present or absent for each species. For some questions, you may find it helpful to rank the trait across the species.

The reaction may be written simply in the form of: ?? + ?? ? ?? + ??
The reaction rate in the liquid phase is given by: ???? = ??1???????? At 100°C: ??1 = 7.93 × 10?6 m3kmol?1 s ?1

A 30.0-liter cylinder of gas containing 97.0 mole % CO and 3.0% CO2 is delivered to your plant. You sign the receipt for it, noting that the gauge on the tank reads 2000 psi. Several days later you notice that the gauge reads 1875 psi, indicating a leak. The storage room in which the cylinder is kept has a volume of 24.2 m3 and is very poorly ventilated. Calculate the maximum mole% of CO in the room at the time the leak is discovered, assuming that the leaking gas spreads uniformly throughout the room and the room temperature is constant at 30oC. Use Kay’s rule if appropriate.
Hint: You will need to use Kay’s rule/assumption. Compressibility factors work great for this problem.

Naphthalene is commonly used as a repellent against moths to protect clothing during storage. Consider a 1 cm diameter spherical naphthalene ball hanging in a closet at 25 oC. The density and vapour pressure of naphthalene at 25 oC are 1100 kg/m3 and 11 Pa, respectively and mass diffusivity of naphthalene in air at 25 oC is 0.61 x 10-5 m2/s.
a. consider the variation of diameter with time, determine how long it will take for the naphthalene to sublimate completely.
b. If instead of being stored in a closet, the naphthalene is exposed to dry air flowing at a velocity of 2 m/s. Both the naphthalene and the air were kept at 25 oC. It is observed that 12 g of naphthalene has sublimated in 15 min. Determine the mass transfer coefficient and the flux for mass transfer from naphthalene.
