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.)

Steam reforming of methane ( ch4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 1.5 l flask with 3.5 atm of methane gas and 1.3 atm of water vapor at 43.0°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas to be 1 .0 atm. calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
