Solute A has a distribution coefficient of 9.0 between methylene chloride and water. Show that extracting a solution containing 1.0 mole of A in 100. mL of water is more efficient if two 25 extractions with methylene chloride are performed rather than a single 50. mL extraction with methylene chloride.

One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 600cm3 . Air is admitted to the cylinder at 25?C and a pressure of 1.0 atm. The piston rod then does 300J of work to rapidly compress the air.
Final temperature was calulated to be 610 degree celcius.
What is the final volume?

The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambulance. The TheXarbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage" be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5
years are as follows:
|
Year |
Mileage |
|
1 |
3000 |
|
2 |
4000 |
|
3 |
3400 |
|
4 |
3800 |
|
5 |
3700 |
a) Forecast the mileage for next year using a 2-year moving average.
b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average forecast in part (a), (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and .6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
d) Compute the forecast for year 6 using exponential smoothing, an initial forecast for year 1 of 3,000 miles, and a = .5.
