1-1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION AND BASIC CONCEPTS Thermodynamics 1-1C Classical thermodynamics is based on experimental observations whereas statistical thermodynamics is based on the average behavior of large groups of particles. 1-2C On a downhill road the potential energy of the bicyclist is being converted to kinetic energy‚ and thus the bicyclist picks up speed. There is no creation of energy‚ and thus no violation of the conservation of energy principle. 1-3C There is no truth to his claim

Mercury and Other Pollutants Like other fossil fuels‚ coal-burning boilers emit dangerous pollutants including mercury. One fourth of the dangerous nitrogen oxides produced in the U.S. each year come from coal-burning industrial boilers. Coal burning also produces two-thirds of the sulfur dioxide and one-third

systems are group synergy and the ripple effect. In Mixed Company (2007) defines synergy as “ a group genius‚ that when group performance form a joint action of members exceeds expectations based on perceived abilities and skills of the individual members.” A synergy group works together and puts individual skills together and the skills combine make the result more or stronger then it would have been if there were just one individual. Through my group experience the most group synergy was in a group

phenomena such as meniscus‚ surface tension and capillary action. Mercury in a glass flask is a good example of the effects of the ratio between cohesive and adhesive forces. Because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass‚ mercury does not spread out to cover the bottom of the flask ‚ and if enough is placed in the flask to cover the bottom‚ it exhibits a strongly convex meniscus‚ where the meniscus of water is concave . Mercury will not wet the glass‚ unlike water and many other liquids
