1.Tyrosine has an absorption peak near 280 nm with a molar extinction of 1,450. What would be the absorbance of tyrosine solution that is 1.5x10^-3 M in a 1 cm cell? in a 2 mm cell? in a 0.1 mm cell?
2. Using the molar extinction coefficient from problem 1, determine the E1%280 for tyrosine. The E1%280 is also an extinction coefficient but of a 1% solution measured at the peak near 280 nm. A 1% solution contains 1 gram of tyrosine in 100 mL of total solution. You will have to look up or figure out the molecular weight of tyrosine to solve this problem.
3.What will be the absorbance in a 1 cm cell of tyrosine solution that is 1 mg/mL in concentration? a 1 g/L solution? If these are the same why are they the same? If they are not, why not?

Wrap up question 1: You hold a “Top” piece of charged tape near an uncharged soda can. Describe the behavior of the tape. Would the behavior be different if you used a “Bottom” piece of tape instead? Explain.
Wrap up question 2: Suppose there exists a third type of charge in addition to the two types we associate with glass and plastic. Call this third type X charge. What experiment(s) could you use to test whether an object has X charge? State clearly how the outcome(s) of the experiment(s) would be interpreted.
Wrap up question 3: A positively charged electroscope has separated leaves. Describe what will happen if you bring a negatively charged rod near, but not touching, the top of the electroscope.

On January 1, 2020 , WXY Inc. replaced the roof on its warehouse. WXY originally built the warehouse and placed it into service on January 1, 1995. The cost of the building was $1,000,000. The building has been depreciated using the straight-line method over an originally estimated 40-year useful life with an estimated salvage value of $50,000. Based on original construction records, WXY is able to calculate that the old roof's cost and accumulated depreciation are 8% of the amounts for the entire building.
The new roof cost $200,000. WXY estimates that the new roof will extend the useful life of the building by 10 years. When the old roof was removed, the old scrap was simply thrown away.
Which of the following statements it true?
|
Accumulated depreciation on the old roof is $50,000 at the time of the replacement. |
||
|
The loss on disposal of the old roof is 32,500. |
||
|
The carrying value of the old roof is $80,000 |
||
|
More than one of the other answer choices is correct. |
||
|
None of the other answer choices is correct. |
||
|
The journal entry to record the cost of the new roof will debit accumulated depreciation for $200,000, because this replacement extends the useful life of the asset. |
||
|
The balance in the building account immediately after the removal and replacement journal entries will be $1,200,000. |
||
|
The balance in the accumulated depreciation account for the building immediately after the removal and replacement journal entries will be $393,750. |

A community playhouse needs to determine the lowest-cost production budget for an upcoming show. They have to determine which set pieces to construction and which to rent. The organization has only two weeks to construct the set. The theater has two carpenters who work up to 12 hours a week, each at $12 an hour. Additionally, the theater has a scenic artist who can work 15 hours per week to paint as needed at $14 per hour. The set needs 20 flats (walls), two hanging drops, and three wooden tables (props). The number of hours required for each piece for carpentry and painting is shown below. Flats, hanging drops, and props can also be rented at a cost of $75, $500, and $400 each, respectively. How many of each unit should be built by the theater and how many should be rented to minimize total cost?

The optimal integer solution is to build __ flat(s) and rent __ flat(s); build __hanging drop(s) and rent __hanging drop(s); build __prop(s) and rent__ prop(s). This solution gives the ▼(minimum, maximum) cost, which is $__.
