Research and then claim an application where solar or nuclear power is used. (Please try to keep the numbers even in that if you see mostly solar power applications selected, then go for a nuclear application, and vice-versa). For the application, you selected tell us about it and how it’s employed. Include any advantages or disadvantages for using it with respect to nuclear power. Finally, for the videos you watched, identify two of what you thought were the most important advantages of using each energy source to power say, a city of one million. Include a statement about your own opinion of which you’d like to be used in the future.

Physical chemistry question

Capsaicin is the compound that makes hot peppers spicy. This compound reversibly binds to the same protein that detects heat in our bodies. For that reason, when we eat spicy food we experience a “burning” sensation. The spice level in different types of peppers is measured in Scoville units. A Scoville unit refers to the number of times a pepper extract has to be diluted in order for a panel of people to no longer detect the heat. For example, a Jalapeño pepper ranks about ~5000 units. This means that liquid extracted from a Jalapeño must be diluted 5000 times before the heat is no longer detectable to the palate.
The spiciest peppers known, such as the Carolina Reaper, have about 3 million Scoville units of heat. Imagine you watch a show on TV claiming that the Carolina Reaper pepper is 600 times spicier than a Jalapeño (3 million divided by 5 thousand), since you know the thermodynamics of chemical equilibria, you can make a more nuanced assessment of that claim.
Explain why or why not the TV host above might or might not be correct. Clearly state any assumptions and use equations if necessary.

The reaction is: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> MgCl2 (aq) + H2(g)
1. If 2.016 g of hydrogen (H2) was released, how many moles of magnesium reacted? How many grams of magnesium would this be?
2. How many moles of magnesium would replace one mole of hydrogen (H) in the hydrochloric acid? How many grams? (This is the equivalent weight)
3. Compare the mass calculated above in question 2 to your experimental equivalent weight and calculate the percent difference. What would cause your experimental value to be different? %difference = [(calculated value-experimental value)/(calculated value)]x100
