9. A student notices that wearing darker colors in sunlight makes him feel warmer, so he decides to conduct an experiment. He takes five pieces of different colored cloth and wraps
each one around a water bottle. He then places all five bottles in direct sunlight and measures the temperature of the water in each bottle an hour later
What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
O the time he leaves it in the sunlight
O the amount of water in each bottle
O the color of the cloth
O the temperature of the water

Your target variable is δf, the magnitude of the difference in frequency between the waves emitted from the sonar device and the waves received by the device after reflecting off the whale. write an expression for δf in terms of the relevant frequencies using the subscript notation introduced above.

The particle in a two-dimensional well is a useful model for the motion of electrons around the indole ring (3), the conjugated cycle found in the side chain of tryptophan. we may regard indole as a rectangle with sides of length 280 pm and 450 pm, with 10 electrons in the conjugated p system. as in case study 9.1, we assume that in the ground state of the molecule each quantized level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels. 9.27 electrons around the porphine ring (4), the conjugated macrocycle that forms the structural basis of the heme group and the chlorophylls. we may treat the group as a circular ring of radius 440 pm, with 20 electrons in the conjugated system moving along the perimeter of the ring. as in exercise 9.26, assume that in the ground state of the molecule quantized each level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy and angular momentum of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels.

The first-order reaction a→2b+c has rate constant 0.538 s−1. if the initial concentration of a is 0.867 mol l−1, what is the half-life of the reaction in seconds? remember to use correct significant figures in your answer (round your answer to the nearest hundredth). do not include units in your response.
