Access Part V of the IG009 Assessment Scenarios document. You are the senior controller for Healing Touch, a manufacturer of high-quality products designed to help support healthy spines. Its newest product offering is a massage chair and you plan to perform a variance analysis of the chairs manufactured this month to determine if the standards are being met. Once you have completed the analysis, you plan to show it to the production department manager and ask for an explanation of any variances that you believe should be examined. Assuming that Healing Touch manufactured 500 massage chairs this month, use the data contained in Part V of the Assessment Scenarios document to calculate all materials and labor variances in Excel (or other spreadsheet software). Be sure to include price, quantity, wage rate, and labor efficiency variances.

You have created a galvanic cell in order to perform the following UNBALANCED reaction. First, balance the reaction. Br- + Ag+ → Br2 + Ag
Part 1: You look up the appropriate reduction potentials for this reaction, and you find the following: Half Reaction Eo (V) Br2 + 2e- → 2Br- 1.11 Ag+ + e- → Ag 0.77 What is the voltage of the reaction given in the introduction? Br- + Ag+ → Br2 + Ag
Part 2: We will use this voltage to calculate K and ΔGo. From your balanced reaction, what number will you use for n?
Part 3: In order to calculate K from ΔG, we must select the appropriate value of R. The question, then, is what units will ΔGo have after the calculation. Note that Faraday's constant (F) has a value of 96500 C/mol, E has units of V, n has units of moles, and 1 V = 1 J/C. Which of the following is the correct value for R? A 0.00831 kJ/(mol*K) B 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) C 8.31 J/(mol*K)
Part 4: What is the value of ΔGo for the reaction determined in part 1 (in J/mol)?
Part 5: If the above reaction is carried out at 298 K, what is the value of K?

Consider a finite square well, with V = 1.2 eV outside. It holds several energy states, but we are only interested in two:
1) For E = 1.15 eV, what is the decay constant, κ, outside the well in nm-1(i.e., where V = 1.2 eV)?
κ =
2) For E = 1.1 eV, what is the decay constant, κ, outside the well in nm-1 (i.e.,) where V = 1.2 eV)?
κ =
3) For E = 1.15 eV, suppose the probability density at some position,x, outside the well is P(x) and the probability density 1 nm farther from the well is P(x+1 nm). What is the ratio, P(x+1 nm)/P(x), of these two probailities?
Ratio =
4) For E = 1.1 eV, suppose the probability density at some position,x, outside the well is P(x) and the probability density 1 nm farther from the well is P(x+1 nm). What is the ratio, P(x+1 nm)/P(x), of these two probailities?
Ratio =
5) If we squeeze the well (decrease L), the energies of the states will increase. What is the limiting value κlimit of an energy state's κ as its energy approaches the top of the well in nm-1(i.e., as E → 1.2 eV).
κlimit =

Two events are observed by inertial observer Stampy to occur a spatial distance of 15 c·s apart with the spatial coordinate of the second larger than the spatial coordinate of the first. Stampy also determines that the second event occurred 17 s after the first. According to inertial observer Philip moving along Stampy’s +x axis at unknown velocity v, the second event occurs 10 s after the first. (1 c·s = 1 light-second = unit of distance.)
a) Given Philip measures the spatial coordinate of the second event to be larger than the first, determine v.
b) How far apart spatially (in c·s) do the two events occur according to Philip?
c) Does there exist an inertial reference frame v < c in
which the second event can occur before the first? Briefly explain
in one sentence at most.
d) Inertial observer Kenny observes the proper time between the two
events. How fast along Stampy’s +x axis does Kenny move?
(Note: Each part of this question can be done independently of any other. In part a, depending on how you solve it, you might obtain two answers as solutions of a quadratic, but one of them is extraneous, because it violates the premise in part a. If you are careful, you can avoid the quadratic at the outset, but it requires you to solve part b first.)

Problem 5. The aquifer source water used by the town of Pandarwin, IL contains 32 mg/L Fe2+ and 97 µg/L arsenic, predominantly in the form of As(III). To meet the new MCL of 10 µg/L the local water utility is considering several strategies. One strategy involves adding hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to the water. Arsenic removal occurs indirectly as a byproduct of the reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. When H2O2 reacts with Fe2+, hydroxyl radical intermediates (•OH) are produced which can rapidly oxidize As(III) to As(V). The As(V) can then be removed by coprecipitation with and adsorption onto Fe(OH)3(s) precipitates during sand filtration. The source water is well buffered at pH 8.0 by dissolved carbonate species.
(a) Write the balanced redox reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. Fe2+ is converted to Fe(OH)3(s) and H2O2 is converted to H2O.
(b) The treatment plant flow rate is 107 L/day. If we assume that the reaction from part (a) goes to completion as written, calculate the mass of H2O2 that will be required each day to consume all the dissolved Fe2+ in the source water entering the plant.
(c) If we assume that each H2O2 molecule generates a single ⋅OH intermediate when it reacts with Fe2+, estimate the fraction of ⋅OH intermediates that will be used to convert As(III) to As(V) in the source water. Assume that each As(III) molecule reacts with only a single ⋅OH intermediate

Problem 1a: Velocity Selector: Show that with the right ratio of electric to magnetic field strength a particle of velocity v will proceed through both fields in a straight line at constant speed (hint: you will need an equation containing v. Also: what does the straight line at constant speed give you?). Assume that the angle of the velocity vector relative to the magnetic field vector is 90 degrees.
b: Show mathematically that the charge magnitude and sign do not matter.
c: Draw and label the electric field vector, the electric force vector, the magnetic field vector, the velocity vector and the magnetic force vector. Hint: start with the two force vectors. They have to add to zero. Then use the vector nature of the Eq = F(E) equation and the right hand rule to get the other vectors.) Assume that the particle is negatively charged. Use into and out of the page vector notation where necessary.
d. Explain in terms of what happens with the force vectors when the charge sign changes to allow a particle of either charge sign pass through the velocity selector at constant velocity v. In other words, explain physically why the particle charge sign makes no difference.
e. Explain in terms of what happens with the force vectors when the charge magnitude changes. In other words, explain physically why the charge magnitude makes no difference in the velocity selector.
