Zeile Company began operations on January 2, 2016. It employs 9 individuals who work 8‐hour days and are paid hourly. Each employee earns 10 paid vacation days and 6 paid sick days annually. Vacation days may be taken after January 15 of the year following the year in which they are earned. Sick days may be taken as soon as they are earned; unused sick days accumulate.  

Zeile Company has chosen not to accrue paid sick leave until used, and has chosen to accrue vacation time at expected future rates of pay without discounting. Additional information is as follows:    2016 2017 Actual Hourly Wage Rate (2016) $15.00 (2017) $18.00

Projected Future Pay Rates Used to Accrue Vacation Pay (2016) $16.00 (2017) $18.50

Calculate ?Go for the oxidation of NADH by FAD. Why is this reaction significant? Where used in metabolic processes? Eo’ = -0.219 V for FAD (electron acceptor) and –0.315 V for NADH (electron donor)

Dumas Experiment In the Dumas experiment, a pinholed flask apparatus has an empty mass of 216.422 g. When it’s completely filled, it has a volume of 268.5 mL. It’s filled with a few milliliters of a volatile solvent which is allowed to completely evaporate when immersed in a boiling water bath at 100.9oC. Upon removal and cooling to room temperature, the flask mass has increased to 217.504 g. The atmospheric pressure is 29.97 inches of Hg. 11. Reexpress the temperature of the water bath in units of Kelvin. 12. Reexpress the atmospheric pressure in units of atmospheres. (1.000 atm = 29.92 inches of Hg) 13. Reexpress the volume of the apparatus in units of liters. 14. Calculate the moles of gas contained within the flask at the water bath temperature. 15. Use the above information to calculate the molar mass of the gas. 16. Suppose that only half of the height of the flask is immersed in boiling water. No solvent condenses at the top. In which direction will this throw off the final result for the molar mass? Explain why.
