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

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
