Crane Company purchased equipment on March 27, 2018, at a cost of $228,000. Management is contemplating the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of either four years or 80,000 units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following number of units each year: 14,200 units in 2018; 20,200 units in 2019; 20,600 units in 2020; 20,000 units in 2021; and 5,000 units in 2022. Crane has a December year end.a)straight line method b)double diminshing balance method c)units of production method

3) A reaction vessel at 27 ∘C contains a mixture of SO2(P= 3.10 atm ) and O2(P= 1.10 atm ). When a catalyst is added the reaction 2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g) takes place. At equilibrium the total pressure is 3.95 atm . Find the value of Kc.


4) Consider the following reaction: NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g)
An equilibrium mixture of this reaction at a certain temperature was found to have [NH3]= 0.282 Mand [H2S]= 0.370 M . What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature? What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?

5) N2(g) + 3 F 2(g) ↔ 2 NF 3(g)
