Think of forming an ionic compound as three steps (this is a simplification, as with all models): (1) removing an electron from the metal, (2) adding an electron to the nonmetal, and (3) allowing the metal cation and nonmetal anion to come together.

The speed of light in a material is 0.50 c. what is the critical angle of a light ray at the interface between the material and a vacuum?

The ozone hole appears in antarctica during

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
