10.) The Kirchhoff equation for a chemical reaction relating the variation of H of a reaction
with absolute temperature is:
$ (H ) '
&
) = CP
% T (P
where CP represents the change in the heat capacity at constant pressure for the reaction.
Expressing CP as a power series in T: CP = a + bT + cT 2 , derive an equation for H as a
function of temperature. (Hint: Write the above derivative in differential form and solve by

integrating.)

Below is a graph showing the force exerted on an object as a function of displacement.

The red crosses represent actual data points of measured force at a specific displacement.
The blue shaded region shows the area under a curve for an equation that fit the data
points.

11a.) Estimate the total Work done by counting/adding the shaded squares. (Note: for the
squares at the edge, you just need to guess the fraction of square). 1 J = 1 Nm
11.b.) The equation that fit the data best is: f(x) = 2 x2. Use integration to calculate the
exact amount of Work performed in this process. How does this compare to the answer
you determined in 11a?
