A simple problem set of 10 simple, short first year problems.

I have attached the problem set in a word document. With one or two exceptions, all of the problems I believe are relativley simple, requiring no more than about 3 steps each. Thanks for the help. Just so you have an idea about the nature of the assignment without opening the attachment, the first two problems of the set ar ...continues

6 simple multiple choice problems, no answer explanations required

I have attached the problem set as a word document. No justification is required, I just need to verify that my answers are in fact correct! Thanks! Just to give you an idea of the nature of the assignment, the first question is: 1.On a relative basis, the weaker the intermolecular forces in a substance: A. The great ...continues
