Consider an old house (from 1858) with walls constructed of 2 inch hardwood planks, 0.5 inch lapped wood siding with 0.5 inch sheetrock on the inside. The size of the house is 40 ft wide, 26 ft long and 9 ft tall. Assume a flat roof covered with 1 inch plywood, asbestos shingles and 3.5 inches of fiberglass insulation. Assume 25% of the walls are covered with single pane windows. This old has is very leaky and has 3 exchanges per hour (k value). Assume no losses through the floor. The outside temperature is 46 degrees F cooler than the inside temperature. Considering only conductive heating losses, calculate the heating needs in BTU/hr.

In the derivation of rrkm theory, a factor of 1/2 is introduced when equalizing the rates of formation and decomposition of activated complex as keal-hr) = ko this is clearly against the assumption of transition state theory that states all the activated complex in the transition state iss going to the product. find the reason why this factor is introduced here.

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
