You have twisted your ankle and need to apply a cold pack. You squeeze the bag and as the chemical reaction occurs, you can feel that the pack is getting colder. How would you classify this type of reaction? Using what you understand from our lessons in unit 4, explain how the heat transfers between the cold pack and your skin? Also, describe how the law of conservation of energy applies to this system.

The chemical composition of soil varies with depth. an article in communications in soil science and plant analysis describes chemical analyses of soil taken from a farm in western australia. fifty specimens were each taken at depths 50 and 250 cm. at a depth of 50 cm, the average no3 concentration (in mg/l) was 88.5 with a standard deviation of 49.4. at a depth of 250 cm, the average concentration was 110.6 with a standard deviation of 51.5. find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in no3 concentrations at the two depths.
