A 4% annual coupon bond has 5 years remaining until maturity and is priced to yield 6%.

(a) What is the price per 100 of par?

(b) For this bond, estimate the price value of a basis point by first considering an increase in yield and then a decrease in yield.  

(c) Now show that for very small price changes, the absolute value of a bond’s price change does not differ much conditional on whether the yield change is a rise or a fall in yield.

red phosphorus burns

a. Define standard enthalpy change of combustion.

b. When red phosphorus burns in oxygen the enthalpy change is –2967 kJ mol–1. For white phosphorus the enthalpy change is –2984 kJ mol–1. For both forms of phosphorus the reaction taking place is:
P4(s) + 5O2(g) → P4O10(s)

i. Use this information to calculate the enthalpy change for the transformation: P4(white) → P4(red).
ii. Represent these changes on an enthalpy profile diagram.

A natural gas storage tank is a cylinder with a moveable top. The volume of the cylinder can change only as its height changes. Its radius remains fixed. The height of the cylinder is 22.3 m on a day when the temperature is 23 ∘C. The next day the height of the cylinder increases to 23.6 m as the gas expands because of a heat wave.

Find the temperature, assuming that the pressure and amount of gas in the storage tank have not changed.

Express your answer as an integer.
