The conversion of solid wastes to innocuous gases can be accomplished in incinerators in an environmentally acceptable fashion. However, the hot exhaust gases often must be cooled or diluted with air. An economic feasibility study indicates that solid municipal waste can be burned to a gas of 9.2% CO2, 1.5% CO, 6.5%O2, 78% N2 and rest water on a molar basis. You can neglect any energy effects resulting from the mixing of gaseous components. What is the enthalpy difference if 300 m^3/h of the stack at 290C is cooled to 30C?

Consider the following scenario:

You come across a "new" nutritional supplement that proclaims it to be a rich source of the same antioxidants commonly found in carrots, tomatoes and various peppers. You examine the product and note its appearance: a dark brown color might simply be from some type of syntehetic food dye. Since you have recently examined some of the antioxidants found in paprika in your organic lab, you decide to play "detective." So, show off your detective skills!

Outline a strategy for a simple experiment that will help you determine whether the manufactureer's claims are true or false.

A balloon filled with 39.1 moles of helium gas has a volume of 876 L at 0.0°C and 1.00 atm pressure. At constant pressure, the temperature of the balloon is increased to 38.0°C causing the balloon to expand. Calculate q, w, ∆E for the helium in the balloon. The specific heat of helium gas is 5.20 J/(g °C) and 101.3 J = 1 Latm.
