Wanting to form nickel(II) cyanide, Ni(CN)2, a chemist adds
hydrocyanic acid, HCN, to a solution containing Ni2+ ions hoping to
precipitate Ni(CN)2. The important equlibria for this process are
given below:
HCN(aq) <--> H+(aq) + CN-(aq) Ka=4.0x10^(-10)
Ni(CN)2(s) <--> Ni2+(aq) +2CN-(aq) Ksp= 3.0x1-^(-23)
a) what is the equilibrium constant, Knet, for the following
reaction which describes the precipitation reaction the chemist
wants to perform?
Ni2+(aq) + 2HCN(aq) <--> 2H+(aq) + Ni(CN)2(s)
Knet = ?
b) Can the chemist readily form Nickel (II) Cyanide in this
manner?
c) The chemist runs the reaction and allows the solution to come to
equilibrium before diluting the solution by a factor of 10.
Calculate Q upon dilu
d) Will he get more or less Ni(CN)2 by diluting the solution in
this fashion?

countershaft in Prob. 3–72, p. 152, is part of a speed reducing
compound gear train using
20° spur gears. A gear on the input shaft drives gear A. Gear B
drives a gear on the output
shaft. The input shaft runs at 2400 rev/min. Each gear reduces the
speed (and thus increases
the torque) by a 2 to 1 ratio. All gears are to be of the same
material. Since gear B is the
smallest gear, transmitting the largest load, it will likely be
critical, so a preliminary analysis
is to be performed on it. Use a diametral pitch of 2 teeth/in, a
face-width of 4 times the circu-
lar pitch, a Grade 2 steel through-hardened to a Brinell hardness
of 300, and a desired life of
15 kh with a 95 percent reliability.
1) if b is meshing with another gear with a diameter d=16 in what would be the required teeth on Fb?
2)Determine factors of safety for pitting

The client was a young IT professional who wanted to start-up a new company. The idea was to combine virtual reality developments with online education which was getting quite popular after coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Furthermore, the client was getting ready to launch virtual offices as well. Test runs have shown a strong interest from many companies as this would allow to save a lot of money on office spaces, utilities and supplies.
you have also asked the client which criteria is the most important for the new company: (a) organizational requirements and costs, (b) liability of the owners, (c) the continuity of the business, (d) the transferability of ownership, (e) management control and regulations, (f) the ability to raise capital or (g) income taxes.

Oberweis is a dairy company based out of Chicago. Oberweis produces milk at a fixed rate of 6,000 gallons/hour. Oberweis serves clients who, in total, request 100,000 gallons of milk per day. Clients send trucks to pick up their orders, and trucks arrive uniformly from 8am to 6pm. If Oberweis runs out of milk, trucks will wait until enough is produced to satisfy their client’s requests. Per Oberweis policy, the company begins and ends each day with 24,000 gallons in finished goods inventory. The plant begins its daily production at 8am and closes once it has satisfied all client demand and replenished its finished goods inventory. In your analysis, treat trucks/milk as a continuous flow process.
1) If Oberweis were charged $30 per hour per waiting truck, how much would Oberweis be charged per day (in dollars)?

A coffee roaster in Richardson has opened a retail store adjacent to the production plant. The plant manager wishes to optimize the inventory costs of the company’s best-selling coffee. The annual demand for the coffee is 36,000 bags and the plant works 240 days per yr. The plant can roast the coffee at a rate of 300 bags per day. The cost to prepare the equipment to start a production run is $350 and the annual inventory carrying cost is $3.6 per year. Use 2 decimal places in your calculations (if needed) and round your final answer to the closest whole number.
1. What should be the optimum quantity of coffee to produce?
2. What is the maximum inventory achieved during a production run?
3. How many production runs are needed to meet the annual demand?
4. What is the average inventory of coffee?
5. What is the minimum total annual cost of producing and storing the company’s best-selling coffee?

You are considering constructing a new plant in a remote wilderness area to process the ore from a planned mining operation. You anticipate that the plant will take a year to build and cost $100 million upfront. Once built, it will generate cash flows of $15 million at the end of every year over the life of the plant. The plant will be useless 20 years after its completion once the mine runs out of ore. At that point you expect to pay $200 million to shut the plant down and restore the area to its pristine state. Using a cost of capital of 12%,
