To determine
To calculate: The percentage of mice that would be going left after many days from the situation that mice are put into a T-maze, in which they have choice of turning to the left for getting cheese as a reward or to the right for getting cheese with mild shock. And after first day their decision to turn right or left is affected by the situation on the previous day. Out of all who go to the left on a certain day,

Question 1:
If a barometer were built using oil (p = 0.92 g/cm³) instead of mercury (p =
13.6 g/cm³), would the column of oil be higher than, lower than, or the same as the
column of mercury at 1.00 atm? If the level is different, by what factor? Explain. (5 pts)
Solution:
A barometer works based on the principle that the pressure exerted by the liquid column
balances atmospheric pressure. The pressure is given by:
P = pgh
Since the atmospheric pressure remains constant (P = 1.00 atm), the height of the
liquid column is inversely proportional to its density:
Step 1: Given Data
PHg
hol=hgx
Poil
• Density of mercury: PHg = 13.6 g/cm³
Density of oil: Poil = 0.92 g/cm³
• Standard height of mercury at 1.00 atm: hμg
Step 2: Compute Height of Oil
= 760 mm = 0.760 m
13.6
hoil
= 0.760 x
0.92
hoil
= 0.760 × 14.78
hoil
= 11.23 m
Step 3: Compare Heights
Since oil is less dense than mercury, the column of oil must be much taller than that of
mercury. The factor by which it is taller is:

- Question 3: A sealed flask at room temperature contains a mixture of neon (Ne) and nitrogen (N2) gases. Ne has a mass of 3.25 g and exerts a pressure of 48.2 torr. . N2 contributes a pressure of 142 torr. • What is the mass of the N2 in the flask? • Atomic mass of Ne = 20.1797 g/mol • Atomic mass of N = 14.0067 g/mol Solution: We will use the Ideal Gas Law to determine the number of moles of each gas and calculate the mass of N2. PV = nRT where: • P = total pressure • V volume of the flask (same for both gases) n = number of moles of gas • R 0.0821 L atm/mol K • T = Room temperature (assume 298 K) Since both gases are in the same flask, their partial pressures correspond to their mole fractions.
