1) Suppose you are trying to determine the identity of the metal
ions in your unknown mixture for this lab and you find that after
step 1 you have a precipitate. You separate the precipitate from
the solution and perform step 2 (on the precipitate) and step 3 (on
the solution). Your results of step 2 do not yield a precipitate.
Your results from step 3 yield a precipitate. Which spot tests
should you run to completely determine the identities...

You are helping to design a piece of equipment that will aim beta particles (electrons) from a radioactive source at cancerous tumors in patients. You wonder whether it would be more efficient to use a uniform electric or uniform magnetic field to aim the electrons and decide to calculate the magnitude of the fields needed in the two cases. The electrons will emerge from the source with a kinetic energy of 2.5 keV (kiloelectronVolts) and your apparatus needs to deflect...

A town’s recreation department is trying to decide how to use a piece of land. One option is to put up basketball courts with an expected life of eight years. Another is to install a swimming pool with an expected life of 24 years. The basketball courts would cost $180,000 to construct and yield net benefits of $40,000 at the end of each of the eight years. The swimming pool would cost $2.25 million to construct and yield net benefits...
