    Heat of Combustion of Ethanols

    I always do all of these questions the same way: First you find how many grams of substance (i.e. ethanol or another alkanol) was used. Convert it to moles. Then plug in the numbers in to the formula, i always use 4.2 J/g/K (instead of 4.2 x 103) because it means i dont have to convert the...

    The Ashes

That way even if the ball swings it will swing past the edge and they will only get beaten, they wont nick it. Unfortunatly when players are out...

    The Ashes

    Yeah buy tyou have to remember that rain played a big part...I doubt the aussies could have held on if there were 5 full days of play, england would probably have batted until they had a 500 run lead and still had 1 and a half days to bowl australia out

    or when you receive emails like this: ------- What did one atom tell another? - I think I lost an electron - Are you sure? - Yes, I'm positive. Heisenberg is out for a drive when he's stopped by a traffic cop. The cop says: "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies...

    applications of calculus - help needed urgently

    V = (1/3)pi r2h dV/dt = 3cm3/s dh/dt = dV/dt . dh/dV but r = h since the angle is 45 degrees (90/2) so V = (1/3)pi h3 dV/dh = pih2 .: dh/dt = 3 . 1/pi(pi2) = 3/pi3

    help on induction!

    (1) prove for n=6 ln 6! > 6 6.57>6 true (2) assueme n=k ln n! - k >0 (3) prove true for n=k+1 i.e. prove ln(k+1)!>k+1 LHS = ln(k+1)! = lnk! +ln(k+1) but ln k! + ln(k+1) > ln(k+1) +k for k>6, k+1 >e ln (k+1) > ln e since ln e = 1 .: ln[(k+1)!]>1+k Hence if the...
