Aseed crystal of diameter d (mm) is placed in a solution of dissolved salt, and new crystals are observed to nucleate (form) at a constant rate r(crystals/min). experiments with seed crystals of different sizes show that the rate of nucleation varies with the seed crystal diameter as
r(crystals/min)=200d−10d2(d in mm)
(a)what are the units of the constants 200 and 10? (assume the given equation is valid and therefore dimensionally homogeneous.)
(b)calculate the crystal nucleation rate in crystals/s corresponding to a crystal diameter of 0.050 inch.
(c)derive a formula for r(crystals/s) in terms of d(inches). (see example 2.6-1.) check the formula using the result of part b.
(d)the given equation is empirical; that is, instead of being developed from first principles, it was obtained simply by fitting an equation to experimental data. in the experiment, seed crystals of known size were immersed in a well-mixed supersaturated solution. after a fixed run time, agitation was ceased and the crystals formed during the experiment were allowed to settle to the bottom of the apparatus, where they could be counted. explain what it is about the equation that gives away its empirical nature. (hint: consider what the equation predicts as d continues to increase.)

Rocks, as they are compressed, begin forming mountains above the earth's surface when two continental plates converge. the continental crust increases in depth as the mountains grow above. the himalayan mountains formed at a convergent plate boundary in this manner. the rocks are smashed together causing them to due to the intense heat and pressure from the colliding plates and eventually forming rock. a) melt; igneous b) layer; sedimentary c) recrystallize; metamorphic d) melt into the earth's interior; metamorphic

One of the hopes for solving the world's energy problem is to make use of the fusion reaction 21h +31h --> 42he + 10n + energy how much energy is released when 1 mol of deuterium is fused with 1 mol of tritium according to the above reaction? the masses of the atoms and the neutrons are as follows: 21h = 2.0140 amu 31h = 3.01605 amu 42he = 4.002603 amu 10n = 1.008665 amu. the speed of light is 2.9979 x 108 m/s.
