You and your lab partner are studying the rate of a reaction, A + B --> C. You make measurements of the initial rate under the following conditions:

(a) Which of the following reactant concentrations could you use for experiment 3 in order to determine the rate law, assuming that the rate law is of the form, Rate = k [A]^x [B]^y? Choose all correct possibilities.

[A] = 7.0 and [B] = 1.2[A] = 4.2 and [B] = 1.2[A] = 2.8 and [B] = 3.6[A] = 5.6 and [B] = 1.2[A] = 1.4 and [B] = 2.4[A] = 1.4 and [B] = 3.6[A] = 2.8 and [B] = 2.4[A] = 2.8 and [B] = 1.2

(b) For a reaction of the form, A + B + C --> Products, the following observations are made: tripling the concentration of A increases the rate by a factor of 3, doubling the concentration of B has no effect on the rate, and doubling the concentration of C increases the rate by a factor of 4. Select the correct rate law for this reaction from the choices below.

Rate = k[A][B][C]Rate = k[A][C]     Rate = k[A]² [C]Rate = k[A][C]²Rate = k[A]² [C]²Rate = k[A]³ [C]Rate = k[A][C]³
(c) By what factor will the rate of the reaction described in part (b) above change if the concentrations of A, B, and C are all halved (reduced by a factor of 2)?

The rate will be the original rate multiplied by a factor of  .

You will take on the role of the benevolent social planner. Remember the sole objective of a benevolent social planner is to maximize total surplus. Below are two lists of numbers. The top list represents the opportunity costs of a number of firms that supply an unspecified commodity. The bottom list includes the willingness to pay of a number of buyers who desire to purchase this unspecified commodity. Using these lists answer the following questions.

Write a recursive program in C++ to compute the determinant of an NxN matrix, A. Your program should ask the user to enter the value of N, followed by the path of a file where the entries of the matrix could be found. It should then read the file, compute the determinant and return its value. Compile and run your program.

1. Recall a work task, hobby, or other activity that you perform regularly.

2. name the activity and list sequentially the actions you do to complete the activity

3. Describe the main differences between doing your activity as you perform it regularly and any variations to those steps you would make to improve your activity.

4. Reflect on the complexity of your list and the number of steps needed to complete the activity:

• Did variation affect your activity?
• If so, did the variation cause your activity to be easier or more difficult?

Case Study

This case study is about the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl in 1984. It covers all the ethical mistakes and aspects involved in the occurring of the disaster. The ethical dilemmas, responsibilities, whistle blowing & cultural norms of engineers are discussed in it.

The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April, 1986 at 1:23:45 AM at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR. It is one of only two nuclear disasters rated as INES 7, the maximum severity classification.

The accident started during a safety test on a common Soviet reactor, the RBMK type.

A very large amount of energy was suddenly released vaporizing superheated cooling water and rupturing the reactor pressure vessel in a highly destructive steam explosion. This was immediately followed by an open-air reactor core fire. The core fire released considerable airborne radioactive contamination for about nine days which precipitated onto parts of the USSR and Western Europe, before being finally contained on 4 May 1986. The radioactive contamination dispersed over this period was approximately the same amount as that released during the initial explosion. Thirty-six hours after the accident, a 10-kilometre exclusion zone was created, with the rapid evacuation of 49,000 people, primarily from Pripyat, and this was increased from 10 to 30 km shortly after when a further 68,000 persons were evacuated, including from the town of Chernobyl itself.

From years of research we know what technically went wrong in Chernobyl disaster. Write few things, what “Ethically” went wrong while keeping in mind following points.
