Two experimental runs are performed to determine the calorimetric properties of an alcohol which has a melting point of -10.0 C.
 
  In the first run, a 200-g cube of frozen alcohol, at the melting point, is added to 300 g of water at 20.0C in a styrofoam container. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the alcohol-water solution is at a temperature of 5.0C. In the second run, an identical cube of alcohol is added to 500 g of water at 20.0C and the temperature at thermal equilibrium is 10.0C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4190 J/kg  K. Assume no heat is exchanged with the styrofoam container and the surroundings. What is the heat of fusion of the alcohol?
  A) 7.1  104 J/kg
  B) 7.9  104 J/kg
  C) 5.5  104 J/kg
  D) 6.3  104 J/kg
  E) 8.7  104 J/kg

Question 2

In a particular case of Compton scattering, a photon collides with a free electron and scatters backwards. The wavelength after the collision is exactly double the wavelength before the collision.
 
  What is the wavelength of the incident photon? (mel = 9.11  10-31 kg, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, c = 3.00  108 m/s)
  A) 6.0 pm B) 2.4 pm C) 4.8 pm D) 3.6 pm E) 1.2 pm

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
