Questions from the book Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.
Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
- In this novel a scientist discovers a new form of solid H2O that is stable at room temperature.
- When a small crystal of this substance is introduced into the ocean it solidifies leading to the end of life on earth.
- The substance is known as Ice-9
Excerpt from the Book
- I closed my eyes
- There was a sound like that of a gentle closing of a portal as big as the sky, the great doors of heaven being softly closed
- It was a great AH-WHOOM.
- I opened my eyes and all the sea was ice-nine
- The moist green earth was a blue white pearl
- The sky darkened. Borassi, the sun, became a sickly yellow ball, tiny and cruel.
- The sky was filled with worms. The worms were tornadoes.
Properties of Ice-9
- Crystalline solid
- Molecules of H2O organized differently than normal H2O
- Melting point is 45.8oC
- A small crystal causes the entire ocean to solidify.
Questions
1. Based on the information given, will ΔGo for the formation of ice-9 from liquid water be (+) or (-)? Explain how you know.
2. Will the entropy, So, for the system increase or decrease for this process? Explain how you know.
3. Based on your answers above, will the enthalpy change, ΔHo be (+) or (-) for the process. Write an equation to support your answer.
4. In the story, the author doesn’t mention any temperature change. Based on your answers above, how would the temperature change in the system? In the surroundings?
5. Does ice-9 have stronger or weaker intermolecular interactions than regular ice? How do you know?
6. Given that the melting point of ice-9 is much higher than that of regular ice, will the ΔHo for the conversion of water to ice-9 be more positive or more negative than the ΔHo for the conversion of water to regular ice? H2O(l) → Ice-9(s)
Calculations
7. If 1.00 mol of water at 0oC were converted to ice-9 what is the minimum quantity of heat that would be released? (The enthalpy of fusion for regular ice is 6.01 kJ/mol)
8. Imagine 1.00 mol of water being converted to ice-9 in an insulated container. Liquid water has a heat capacity of 4.184 J/goC. Make the assumption that ice-9 would not have a heat capacity of more than liquid water. Calculate the temperature change that would have to result from the conversion of 1.00 mol of liquid water at 0oC to ice-9 in an insulated container.
Thank You.

For the past 2 or 3 years, Donna has always had fasting blood sugar levels in the 100-120 mg/dL range. When she presents in your clinic however, her fasting blood sugar is 137 mg/dL and her hemoglobin A1c is 8.3%. Donna’s 24-hr recall includes:
Breakfast: English muffin with 2 t. butter, 1 slice American cheese, 1 Jimmy Dean sausage patty, 20 oz. water
Snack: 1 large (4x4”) brownie
Lunch: chicken salad sandwich on 2 slices wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, 1 oz. BBQ chips, 12 oz. orange soda
Dinner: Lean Cuisine Alfredo Pasta with Chicken & Broccoli, 16 oz. sweet tea
Snack: 2 c. chocolate Haagen-Dazs ice cream
Donna is 58 years old, does not have a history of diabetes, is 5’2” and weighs 165#, and she is on medication for hypertension. She says she has tried to lose weight many times in the past and often has success, but she always gains it back. She reports that she eats a “fairly healthy” diet but just loves to bake and often indulges in sweets. She does not know much about diabetes, except that it requires you to give yourself shots—and she hates needles, saying “Don’t expect me to give myself a shot!”
What can you tell Donna about her current and past diabetes status? What lab values helped you to determine that, and what are the relevant cut-points? Describe some risk factors that Donna exhibits for developing diabetes.
If Donna’s hemoglobin A1c is 8.3%, what is her average blood sugar? How did you figure this out? How does that compare to her fasting blood sugar, and why is it different or similar?
Donna is so scared of needles that at any mention of diabetes, she immediately resists, saying, “Don’t expect me to give myself a shot.” What can you tell her about various diabetes treatments and the likelihood of her needing to give herself a shot? Will Donna need to use a needle for her diabetes management? What are some strategies she can implement to avoid this?
Explain why Type 2 diabetes often shows up later in life and how it differs from Type 1 Diabetes. How do the treatments for the two diseases compare?
What lifestyle changes would you recommend for Donna? What dietary recommendations would you make? Explain why you decided to focus on the behaviors that you did

Mariati is the bookkeeper for Affendi’s Distributing Company, a distributor of soft drinks and juices. Because the company is rather small, Mariati performs all daily accounting tasks herself. Affendi, the owner of the company, supervises the warehouse/delivery and front office staff, but he also spends much of his time jogging and skiing.
For several years, profits were good, and sales grew faster than industry averages. Although the accounting system was working well, bottlers were pressuring Affendi to computerize. With a little guidance from a CPA friend and with no mention to Mariati, Affendi bought a new computer system and some accounting software. Only one day was required to set up the hardware, install the software, and convert the files. The morning the vendor installed the computer system, Mary’s job performance changed dramatically. Although the software company provided two full days of training, Mariati resisted learning the new system. As a result, Affendi decided she should run both the manual and computer systems for a month to verify the new system’s accuracy.
Mariati continually complained that she lacked the time and expertise to update both systems by herself. She also complained that she did not understand how to use the new computer system. To keep accounts up to date, Affendi spent two to three hours a day running the new system himself. Affendi found that much of the time spent running the system was devoted to identifying discrepancies between the computer and manual results. When the error was located, it was usually in the manual system. This significantly increased Affendi’s confidence in the new system.
At the end of the month, Affendi was ready to scrap the manual system, but Mariati said she was not ready. Affendi went back to skiing and jogging, and Mariati went on with the manual system. When the computer system fell behind, Affendi again spent time catching it up. He also worked with Mariati to try to help her understand how to operate the computer system.
Months later, Affendi was very frustrated because he was still keeping the computer system up to date and training Mary. He commented, “I’m sure Mariati knows how to use the system, but she doesn’t seem to want to. I can do all the accounting work on the computer in two or three hours a day, but she can’t even do it in her normal eight-hour workday. What should I do?”

An Auto Finance Company (AFC) is doing business forlast 20 years and offers various financial products including finance lease, hire purchase and operating lease.
AFC takes postdated cheques from customers in advance and deposits with banks on due dates. AFC enters the realization date of all cheques in system on daily basis. Average numbers of daily deposited cheques are 700. Around 10% of deposited cheques gets returned unpaid. The unpaid cheques are deposited next day into bank. The AFC cannot switch to Direct Debit because of certain reasons
The AFC is following IFRS for accounting. The company follows the policy to round rental amount to zero decimal places. The rentals are amortized using annuity method. The company books income on monthly basis.
The AFC has extended a lease facility to a Ltd. company, the extracts of which are as under:
• Asset cost = 100,000
• Contract terms = 48 months
• Annual interest rate = 9%
• Re-payment frequency = Quarterly in Arrear
• RV = 10,000
• Down payment = 8,000
• Security deposit = 50,000
• Start day of the contract = 15th February, 2018
• Asset useful life = 60 months
• Rental numbers 9 to 16 should be double in amount as compared to rental numbers 1 to 8 (e.g. if rental numbers 1 to 8 are 5,000 each then rental numbers 9 to 16 should be 10,000 each)
• Use of XLS Goal Seek is prohibited for rental calculation
You are required to:
1. Determine the lease type according to IFRS definitions for both lessee and lessor. Please mention all criteria of IFRS and identify that which one is met and which one is not
2. Calculate periodic lease rentals
3. Based on point 2 above, prepare amortization schedules for AFC
4. Calculate the AFC’s achieved rate of return.
5. Prepare all accounting entries for AFC starting from contract signing till restructuring. Accounting entry must be with reference to a date
6. The AFC customer has defaulted after paying 2nd rental and now 5th rental is due. Customer has requested and AFC agreed to restructure the lease facility by increasing interest rate 1 % p.a. and recovering the interest overdue and penalty amount upfront. The company charges 20% p.a. penalty for overdue on actual days basis. Please workout the restructured rental amount, New Amortization schedule and the accounting treatment at restructuring this contract. Please keep the Zero rental or fix amount rental same as mentioned in the original scenario

Primary Paper HW assignment guidelines
Your primary paper consists of three parts:
1. In your own words, state the essential take home message of the paper assigned.
-Here you should briefly mention what was known about this topic before this paper was published
-Then state what the aim/goal/purpose of this published study was. In other words, what did the authors set out to do?
-Also describe why this research is important (if you think it is important)/ what are the researchers hoping to contribute to the existing knowledge.
2. State how the authors demonstrated the essential point of the paper: what experiments and what methods they used to prove the point
-In this section you should link how a particular approach/method was used to obtain a particular result and why it would be important/relevant. For example:
-Authors used method A to get/show result B. Result B is important because (it supports their original hypothesis in the following way/describe how/ or it provides novel findings regarding mechanism X
-Continue the bulleted list to correlate specific method with specific result and how it supports the claims made in the paper.
3. Discuss the strengths and significance of the paper and also the weaknesses and indicate additional lines of investigation that you think would be worth pursuing that were opened up by the paper.
-Here I want you to critique the experimental approach and author’s conclusions, not their writing style or format of the paper. Also, keep in mind that these are primary research articles published in scientific journals, so they are intended for a scientific, not general audience. Hence the language could be a bit dense.
-I want you to be very specific here. Do not write general and vague statements. Instead, refer to specific data in the paper (in figure X, or table Y) and indicate any possible flaws or limitations of the experiment.
-Propose possible future directions or follow up studies. You can look up papers that cited this research or follow up on the last author’s subsequent research.
-Explain if this paper contributed anything new to the field and if it enabled better understanding of the subject
