A bouquet of 40 flowers is made up of roses, carnations, and daisies. The bouquet is 45% roses and 15% carnations. How many of the flowers are roses? carnations?

Consider the diffusion of oxygen through a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheet 15 mm thick. The pressures of oxygen at the two faces are 2000 kPa and 150 kPa, which are maintained constant. Assuming conditions of steady state, what is the diffusion flux [in $\left.\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3} \mathrm{STP}\right) / \mathrm{cm}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{s}\right]$ at 298 K?

Given the reaction $\mathrm { A } ( g ) + \mathrm { B } ( g ) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm { C } ( g ) + \mathrm { D } ( g ) ,$ consider the following situations: i. You have 1.3 M A and 0.8 M B initially. ii. You have 1.3 M A, 0.8 M B, and 0.2 M C initially. iii. You have 2.0 M A and 0.8 M B initially. After equilibrium has been reached, order i-iii in terms of increasing equilibrium concentrations of D. Explain your sequence. Then give the order in terms of increasing equilibrium concentration of Band explain.

Describe how the Law of Cosines can be used to solve the ambiguous case of the oblique triangle ABC, where a=12 feet, b=30 feet, and A = 20° Is the result the same as when the Law of Sines is used to solve the triangle? Describe the advantages and the disadvantages of each method.

determine the null and alternative hypotheses. The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is known to be $\sigma$=0.7 psi. Due to changes in the manufacturing process, the quality-control manager feels that the pressure variability has been reduced.
