Is each chemical equation correctly balanced? If not, correct it. (a) \(R b(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \rightarrow \mathrm{RbOH}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\) (b) \(2 \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(g) \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2}

An Introduction to Thermal Physics 1
Problem 35P According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a s

Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics 4
A physical pendulum consists of an 85-cm-long, 240-g-mass, uniform wooden rod hung from a nail near one end (Fig. 14-38). The motion is damped because of friction in the pivot; the damping force is approximately t proportional to d6/dt. The rod is set in oscillation by displacing it 15 from its equil

A 65-kg skier speeds down a trail, as shown in Figure 526. The surface is smooth and inclined at an angle of 22with the horizontal. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the net force acting on the skier. (b) Does the net force exerted on the skier increase, decrease, or stay the same as the slope

Myers' Psychology for AP 2
Researchers investigating conditioning throughout the history of psychology reached very different conclusions about how humans learn behaviors. Explain how these theorists might explain this example of behavior and response: A child cries when she sees a large pile of peas on her dinner plate. Edwa

Which of the following pairs of light sources are coherent: (a) two candles, (b) one point source and its image in a plane mirror, (c) two pinholes uniformly illuminated by the same point source, (d) two headlights of a car, (e) two images of a point source due to reflection from the front and back s
