When wood is burned, energy is released in the forms of heat and light. Describe the reaction, and explain why this change does not violate the law of conservation of energy. Use the terms combustion, exothermic, and chemical energy.

How is the size polymorphism of dinucleotide repeated sequences thought to occur?

Consider the reaction: $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(g)$ The tabulated data were collected for the concentration of $C_4H_8$ as a function of time:

$$\begin{matrix} \text{Time (s)} & \ {[C_4 H_8] (M)}\\ \text{0} & \text{1.000}\\ \text{10} & \text{0.913}\\ \text{20} & \text{0.835}\\ \text{30} & \text{0.763}\\ \text{40} & \text{0.697}\\ \text{50} & \text{0.637}\\ \end{matrix}$$

a. What is the average rate of the reaction between 0 and 10 s? Between 40 and 50 s? b. What is the rate of formation of $C_2H_4$ between 20 and 30s?

Fill in each blank so that the resulting statement is true. If f is a polynomial function and f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then there must be at least one value of c between a and b for which f(c)=____. This result is called the ____ Theorem.
