Use the measured specific heat of ice [c = 0.49 cal/g K] at temperatures somewhat below freezing to determine an experimental estimate of the number of active degrees of free- dom in ice. (For a solid, cp and c, are nearly identical, because AV/AT is small for a solid.) From this, estimate how many internal degrees of freedom of the H2O molecule (by internal, we mean internal to the molecule) are contributing to the heat capacity of ice.

Use the measured specific heat of ice [c = 0.49 cal/g K] at temperatures somewhat below
freezing to determine an experimental estimate of the number of active degrees of free-
dom in ice. (For a solid, cp and c, are nearly identical, because AV/AT is small for a
solid.) From this, estimate how many internal degrees of freedom of the H20 molecule
(by internal, we mean internal to the molecule) are contributing to the heat capacity of
ice.

Part A: 10 moles of ideal gas initially at 10 atm and 250 K is expanded isothermally and reversibly to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules. Part B: The same gas in problem A, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally against a constant external pressure of 2 atm, to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules for this irreversible process. Part C: The same gas in part B, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally to a final pressure of 2 atm. The process is carried out in 4 stages. First the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 8 atm, to 8 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 6 atm, to 6 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 4 atm, to 4 atm. Finally, the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 2 atm, to 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules for the 4-step process.

Please solve and explian the solution: Let M represent a certain mass of coal which we assume will deliver 100 joules of heat when burned – whether in a house, delivered to the radiators or in a power plant, delivered at 1000°C. Assume the plant is ideal (no waste in turbines or generators) discharging its heat at 30°C to a river. How much heat will M, burned at the plant to generate electricity, provide for the house when the electricity is:(a) delivered to residential resistance-heating radiators?(b) delivered to a residential heat pump (again assumed ideal) boosting heat from a reservoir at 0°C into a hot-air system at 30°C?
The following (Attached image) is an external quantum efficiency of a CZTS solar cell with structure Glass/Mo/CZTS/CdS/AZO/Ag. The ideal QE curve would be a rectangle (red curve). The experimental QE is much less than the ideal one because of losses at different regions outlined 1, 2, 3 and 4. Please explain what are those losses.
If we have 35.54L of O2 gas at STP, how many moles of this gas do we have? Note: it is understood that the unit of your answer is some number of moles, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("mol" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong. (STP means "standard temperature and pressure," which is 1 atmosphere of pressure or 101,325 Pa, and 273K).
