1. The position of a particle is measured at certain instances of time as given below. Perform hand calculations to predict the velocity and acceleration at t = 0,1 and 2 seconds using the forward finite differencing scheme presented in class. [25+25 = 50 points]

Oxygen gas enters well-insulated diffuser at 25 lbf/in.2, 420r, with a velocity of 860 ft/s through a flow area of 1.6 in.^2. at the exit, the flow area is 12 times the inlet area, and the velocity is 19 ft/s. the potential energy change from inlet to exit is negligible. assuming ideal gas behavior for the oxygen and steady-state operation of the diffuser, determine the following: (a) the exit temperature, in r(b) the exit pressure, in lbf/in.^2 (c) the mass flow rate, in lb/s

In a particular chemical reaction, the energy of the reactants is 30 kj and the energy of the products is 5 kj. 
 the maximum energy of the system is 40 kj. sketch a potential energy diagram for this reaction. make sure to label the energy of the reactants, the energy of the products, the activation energy, and the enthalpy change for the reaction.

How does an increase in temperature generally affect the rate of a reaction?
