1 CE 39, Fall 15 First Mid-erm Exam You may only use pencils, pens and erasers while taking this exam. You may NO use a calculator. You may not leave the room for any reason if you do, you must first turn in your exam, and you will not be permitted to resume taking the exam. his exam is printed on two-sided pages there are 5 short answer questions, each worth 5 points and three problems worth 5 points each for a total of 1 points. Answer All questions, including the short answer questions, in the blue book that has been provided to you. When the exam ends, put these sheets inside your blue book and turn both in. For the problems you only need to fully show what equations to use and to fully explain how to use them to obtain the requested answer. You do not need to perform any calculations, and you do not need to perform any algebra beyond that needed to obtain the equations to be solved. If you need to use numerical methods to answer a question, provide the information listed below Numerical Methods If you need to fit a linear model to data, you must state that it is necessary to fit a model to the data numerically and you must explicitly identify (a) the specific linear model being fit to the data, (b) the response and set variables in the model and (c) the parameters in the model. hen you must (d) show how to calculate the value of each response and set variable for an arbitrary data point. Once you have provided that information, you may assume that the correlation coefficient, the best value of each model parameter and its 95% confidence interval and either a model plot or a parity plot and residuals plots have been found using appropriate numerical software, and you may use those results as you need to complete the problem. If the solution to a problem involves solving a set of non-linear algebraic equations, you must state that it is necessary solve a set of non-linear algebraic equations numerically and you must (a) explicitly identify the equations to be solved and an equal number of unknowns to be solved for by writing the equations in the form, fi(unknowns list) expression. You then must (b) show how to calculate every quantity that appears in those functions, assuming you are given values for the unknowns. Once you have provided (a) and (b), you may assume that the values of the unknowns have been found numerically, and you may use those values as needed to complete the problem. If the solution to a problem involves solving a set of initial value ordinary differential equations, you must state that it is necessary to solve a set of initial value ODEs numerically and you must (a) explicitly identify the equations to be solved, the independent variable and the dependent variables by writing the equations in the form, (derivative i ) fi(independent variable, dependent variable list) expression. hen you must list values or show how to calculate (b) initial values of the independent and dependent variables, (c) the final value of either the independent variable or one of the dependent variables and (d) every quantity that appears in those functions, assuming you are given values for the independent and dependent variables. Once you have provided (a), (b) and (c), you may assume that the

2 final values of the remaining independent and dependent variables have been found numerically, and you may use those values as needed to complete the problem. If the solution to a problem involves solving a set of boundary value ordinary differential equations, you must state that it is necessary to solve a set of boundary value ODEs numerically and you must (a) explicitly identify the equations being solved, the independent and dependent variables in those equations and the boundaries of the range of the independent variable over which the equations are to be solved, (b) list values or show how to calculate boundary conditions for each dependent variable the number of boundary conditions for a particular dependent variable must equal the highest order of derivative of that dependent variable appearing in the equations being solved and (c) list values or show how to calculate every quantity in the equations being solved other than the derivatives, assuming you are given values for the independent and dependent variables. Once you have provided (a), (b) and (c), you may assume that the value of each dependent variable and its first derivative with respect to the independent variable is known at any position between the boundaries, and you may use those values as needed to complete the problem. a ax x n xn+1 n +1 (n 1) a + bx ln x a + bx x 1 ax + b a Indefinite Integrals x ln x x a + bx 1 1 ( b 3 a + bx ) a( a + bx) + a ln( a + bx) x a a + bx a + bx 1 b 3 a + bx aln a + bx ΔH ΔH K ( 98 K) ν i, ΔH f,i i all ( ) ΔH 98 K ( a + bx ) 1 ln( a + bx) b x( a + bx) 1 a + bx ln a x a + bx b( a + bx) 1 x a + a + bx a + bx 1 b ln a + bx x a + bx x b a ln a + bx b hermodynamic Relationships 98 K ( ( 98 K) ) K ν i, ΔH c,i i all ΔG 98 K + ν i, d i all 98K ( 98 K) exp ΔG 98 K R( 98K ) K a i y i ϕ i P 1 atm a i γ i x i a i x i a i h i x i K 98 K ν i, ΔG f,i exp a i ν i, ( 98 K) 98 K ( ) d R ΔH a i y i P 1 atm
