what's the main difference between continuous compounding and exponential growth, and why does my text book say that it is bette

r to express growth rates as if they are continuously compounded? What's the advantage---both give outrageous estimates to "what if" scenarios. ...?

The big advantage to using continuous compounding to express growth rates is it avoids the problem of asymmetry in growth rates:

For example, if we use the normal definition and $100 grows to $105 in one time period, that's a growth rate of $105/$100 - 1 = 5% But if $105 decreases to $100, that's a growth rate of $100/$105 - 1 = -4.76%

The problem of asymmetry is those two growth rates, 5% and -4.75% are not equal up to a sign.

But if you use continuous compounding the growth rate in the first case is ln(105/100) = 0.04879.
And the growth rate in the second is ln (100/105) = -0.04879.
Those two growth rates are definitely the negative of each other.<span>

1(a). What is the solubility of calcium chloride (CaCl2) at 5°C?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

60 g/100 g water  

Explanation:

Find 5 °C on the horizontal axis.

Draw a line vertically from that point until you reach the solubility curve for CaCl₂.  

Then draw a horizontal line from there to the vertical axis.

The solubility of CaCl₂ is 60 g/100 g water.
