Diffusion of Ammonia in an Aqueous Solution. An ammonia (A)-water (B) solution at 278 K and 4.0 mm thick is in contact at one surface with an organic liquid at this interface. The concentration of ammonia in the organic phase is held constant and is such that the equilibrium concentration of ammonia in the water at this surface is 2.0 wt 'Yo ammonia (density of aqueous solution is 991.7 kg/m3) and the concentration of ammonia in water at the other end of the film 4.0 mm away is 10 wt % (density of 961.7 kg/m3). Water and the organic are insoluble in each other. The diffusion coefficient ofNH3 in water is 1.24 x 10- 9 m 2/sCalculate the flux N_B. Explain.

The Flux N_B = 0

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of data or parameters which is going to help in solving this particular Question. So, let us take each at a time;

=> "An ammonia (A)-water (B) solution at 278 K and 4.0 mm thick is in contact at one surface with an organic liquid at this interface."

=>" 2.0 wt 'Yo ammonia (density of aqueous solution is 991.7 kg/m3) and the concentration of ammonia in water at the other end of the film 4.0 mm away is 10 wt % (density of 961.7 kg/m3). ''

With the information above, we can determine the N_A(which the question did not specify that we should calculate).

For the value of N_B, it will be equals to zero(0) because the insolubility of water in organic solvent.

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
