Reading

Schroeder sections 5.1 and 5.2 and sections 5.5 and 5.6.  We'll partially backfill the middle of the chapter next week.

Problems

  1. 5.10.  This is why we normally treat water as incompressible.
  2. 5.17.
  3. 5.20.  The temperature you calculate will be very high.  For most chemical and biological systems the excited states are accessible at room temperature.
  4. 5.21
  5. 5.22
  6. 5.23
  7. 5.76
  8. 5.85
  9. 5.86
  10. 5.92.  This has some nasty algebra.  In part (b) you'll need to solve a transcendental equation numerically.
