Written Assignment 1: Intermolecular Forces and Liquids and Solids Answer all assigned questions and problems, and show all work. 1. Explain and give an example for each type of intermolecular force. A: a. Dipole-dipole interaction: a dipole-dipole interaction is the electrostatic attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of the other. Dipole-dipole attraction occurs between molecules which are permanent dipoles (polar covalent molecules). An example

land forms a shallow basin in the center and is surrounded by a slightly higher landform. When the salt marsh is rarely inundated, the water is drawn to the center of the ecosystem due to the abnormal topography of the land. During the process of evaporation, a majority of the water content is removed from the soil and transformed into water vapour, leaving behind highly concentrated salt sediment. Another key abiotic factor is the substrate type. According to the data collected, sites B and D have

of water quality and has a tremendous impact where plant and animal life can flourish. The degree of salinity directly relates with surface temperatures in the ocean. In areas where there are higher temperatures, there will be a large amount of evaporation. As a result, the salinity of the ocean water will be higher. Additionally, rainfall is another factor which will affect ocean salinity (Lutgens, Tarbuck, & Tasa, 2011). If I were to explain this in layman’s terms, I would rationalize this solution

any) would you include in the cost of inventory (i.e., Compass Box’s whisky)? These would all be needed to be included because they are necessary for the product to become ready for its sale. In the case of evaporation, the liters in inventory will need to decrease but the cost of evaporation added to the existing inventory. 2. Compare input costs under the two business models. Assume that the company was making Hedonism using 12-year-old whisky in 2007 (i.e., whisky that was “new fill” in

SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY Solar thermal is a type of technology that is used for utilizing solar energy to get thermal energy. Solar thermal energy is a form of energy in which the sun is used to produce heat that can be used in a variety of ways. This technology has been used for generations and has been constantly improved by modern technology to expand it’s applications. SOLAR THERMAL GENERATION Solar thermal energy is a renewable energy source that converts the heat from solar rays into electricity

If you have asphalt pavement, you probably know how important it is to maintain your sealcoating. Asphalt pavement that receives regular sealcoating can last up to twice as long; sealcoating blocks UV rays and slows the progress of caustic chemicals, including automotive fluids. Sealcoating also rejuvenates the color of asphalt pavement and helps conceal surface imperfections. Although the Las Vegas area enjoys a much longer sealcoating season than most parts of the country, certain times are better

Negative feedback makes sure this happens. The other factors also controlled in the body by negative feedback are: blood oxygen levels and salt levels. The body loses heat through: * Evaporation of water from your skin if it is wet (sweating). If your clothing is wet, you will also lose some body heat through evaporation and through respiration (breathing) when the body temperature is higher than 99°F (37°C). During intense exercise, the body loses 85% of its heat through sweating. * Radiation (similar

Compass Box Whisky Company Issue: The scotch whisky industry is in shortage of component whiskies, and many producers need to take actions in sourcing & production. Compass Box: is one of these companies. It was founded by John Glacer in London in 2000. By 2007, the company was worth 7 million dollars owing to its innovative products. They had to come up with scenarios to come over the sourcing problems (see the scenarios) *30% annual growth. 2.5 million euro in 2006 *Our guy: John Glacer

Wabash Watershed Wabash Watershed (1961-1990) Introduction Global warming is a resultant of Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The release of these gases has increased in the last 500 years since the industrial revolution. There is an expectation that global warming will result to rising sea levels, droughts, fires, heat waves, extreme storms, heavy rainfall, floods, and melting of snow and ice. These changes as envisaged would affect agriculture and general food availability with devastating
