(1) There are two traders (1 and 2) in a market who have to decide be- tween 'Aggressive' behaviour or 'Passive' behaviour. The payoffs that each player receives depend on the action of the other player and are summarised in the following normal form. 2 A P 1 A 1,1 3,2 P 2,4 4,3 (a) Suppose first that the traders decide on their action simultane- ously. Does any player have a dominant strategy in the game? What is the Nash equilibrium?

The emission of NO, by fossil fuel combustion can be prevented by injecting gaseous urea into the combustion mixture. The urea reduces NO (which oxidizes in air to form NO2) according to the reaction: 2 CO(NH;)»(3) + 4 NO(3) + O2(8) 4 Na(8) + 2 CO;(g) + 4 H¿O(g) Suppose that the exhaust stream of an automobile has a flow rate of 2.55 L/s at 655 Kand contains a partial pressure of NO of 12.4 torr. What total mass of urea is necessary to react complete- ly with the NO formed during 8.0 hours of driving?
Silver chloride is classified as an insoluble compound because it dissolves only to a small extent in water. Consider the balanced equation and equilibrium constant that shows the partial dissolving of silver chloride in water: AgCl(s) = Ag*(aq) + CI"(ag) Keg = 1.70 x 10-10 a) The reaction AgCl(s) = Ag*(aq) + Cl (ag) is classified as a (homogeneous or heterogeneous) equilibrium because it involves more than one physical state, solid and aqueous. b) Based on the equilibrium constant value and the equilibrium constant expression, the concentration of each ion in a saturated solution of silver chloride is : Concentration of Ag = x 10 Concentration of CI" = x 10 M

(b) At each preseason sales meeting, the vice president of sales provides a personal opinion regarding potential demand for this product. Because of the vice president's enthusiasm and optimistic nature, the predictions of market conditions have always been either "excellent" (E) or "very good" (V). Probabilities are as follows. What is the optimal decision strategy? P(E) = 0.6 P(V)=0.4 P(S₁IE) = 0.31 P(S₂IE) = 0.38 P(S3E) = 0.31 P(s₁IV) = 0.2 P(S₂IV) = 0.22 P(S3IV) = 0.58 If the vice president's prediction is excellent, two lots. If the prediction is very good, one lot. If the vice president's prediction is excellent, three lots. If the prediction is very good, two lots. Do not use the vice president's prediction and order two lots. Do not use the vice president's prediction and order three lots. If the vice president's prediction is excellent, one lot.

In biological cells that have a plentiful supply of oxygen, glucose is oxidized completely to CO2 and H2O by a process called aerobic oxidation. Muscle cells may be deprived of O2 during vigorous exercise and, in that case, one molecule of glucose is converted to two molecules of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) by a process called anaerobic glycolysis. (a) When 0.3212 g of glucose was burned at 298 K in a bomb calorimeter of calorimeter constant 641 J K−1 the temperature rose by 7.793 K. Calculate (i) the standard molar enthalpy of combustion, (ii) the standard internal energy of combustion, and (iii) the standard enthalpy of formation of glucose. (b) What is the biological advantage (in kilojoules per mole of energy released as heat) of complete aerobic oxidation compared with anaerobic glycolysis to lactic acid?
