As a science major, you are assigned to the "Atomic Dorm" at college. The first floor has one suite with one bedroom that has a

bunk bed for two students. The second floor has two suites, one like the one on the first floor, and the other with three bedrooms, each with a bunk bed for two students. The third floor has three suites, two like the ones on the second floor, and a third suite that has five bedrooms, each with a bunk bed for two students. Entering students choose room and bunk on a first-come, first-serve basis by criteria in the following order of importance:
(1) They want to be on the lowest available floor.
(2) They want to be in the smallest available dorm room.
(3) They want to be in a lower bunk if available.

(a) Which bunk does the 1st student choose?
(b) How many students are in top bunks when the 17th student chooses?
(c) Which bunk does the 21st student choose?
(d) How many students are in bottom bunks when the 25th student chooses?

Explanation:

A.

The first student will be on the lower bunk on the first floor because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available.

B.

7 students are in the TOP bunks because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available. Therefore, all the rooms up till the third floor (Remember, third floor has 3 suites), so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, 2 floor is filled- 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite is filled - 1 person and the second suite is a little partially filled- 1 person.

C.

Following the criteria 1, 2 and 3, the 21st student occupies the third suite on the third floor because all the floors (1 and 2) are occupied so the third suite on the third floor is still vacant.

D.

From the criteria there are therefore 10 persons at the TOP bunk. All the rooms up till the third floor are filled, so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, second floor is filled (2 suites) - 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite and second suite is filled - 4 persons; the thirs suite has 6 persons present so 1 person is at the top bunk.

Pyridine (c5h5n) is a particularly foul-smelling substance used in manufacturing pesticides and plastic resins. calculate the ph
zubka84 [21]

Answer is: ph value of pyridine solution is 9.1.

Chemical reaction: C₅H₅N + H₂O → C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻.<span>
c(pyridine - C</span>₅H₅N) = 0.115M.<span>
Kb(C</span>₅H₅N) = 1.4·10⁻⁹.
[C₅H₅NH⁺] = [OH⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[</span>C₅H₅N] = 0.115 M - x.

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] · [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N].

1.4·10⁻⁹ = x² / (0.115 M -x)

Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.0000127 M.<span>
pOH = -log(0.0000127 M) = 4.9</span>

<span>pH = 14 - 4.9 = 9.1.</span>
