It is not possible to do a Stern-Gerlach experiment on a free electron to measure its spin

magnetic dipole moment; it is only possible if the electron is in a neutral atom. Explain

why. (Hint: There is a superficial answer, which has a superficial rebuttal. A complete

answer involves the uncertainty principle.)

what would happen to the values you calculated for kc in the experiment if the beer's law constant (k) value you used was high (e.g.you used 6000 M^-1 when the actual constant had a value of 5000 M^-1) ? Explain your answer.

devise a system for you and three friends, at rest with you, to synchronize your clocks if your clocks are too large to move and are separated by hundreds of miles. 2. Can you think of an experiment to verify length contraction directly? Explain.  has to be approximately 500 words.

1. a. In an extraction experiment, in which three compounds are extracted from a solid mixture. Why would the percent recoveries be less that 100%? Please explain.

b. How do you know if the recystaillization was effective (did purification result)? Talk about melting points

Suppose an opaque jar contains 3 red marbles and 10 green marbles. The following exercise refers to the experiment of picking two marbles from the jar without replacing the first one. What is the probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second?

You roll a six-faced dice and observe the number of dots on the top face.

(a) Specify the appropriate sample space S of the random experiment.

(b) Give an example of a partition of S. (Proof is unnecessary.)

(c) Give an example of a probability mass function (pmf) for S.

Let A and B be two subsets of the sample space of an experiment. If P(A) = 0.35, P(B) = 0.55, and P(A ∩ B) = 0.1, find (i) p(A ∩ Bc) (ii) p(A U B)c (iii) p(A ∩ B)c (iv) p(Ac ∩ Bc)

Consider a binomial experiment with 16 trials and probability 0.60 of success on a single trial.

(a) Use the binomial distribution to find the probability of exactly 10 successes.

(b) Use the normal distribution to approximate the probability of exactly 10 successes.

(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b).
