"In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." - Paul Dirac (1902-1984) British physicist and a founder of the field of quantum mechanics.

Did you know that radio waves travel at 186,000 miles per second and sound waves travel at 700 miles per hour? A broadcast voice can be heard sooner 13,000 miles away than it can be heard at the back of the room in which it originated.

Mr Yow Man
Can anyone please help with the following questions? You are required to make a standard solution of Na2 CO3 (sodium carbonate). The number of moles required is 1.23 x 10-2 moles. (a) Using the equation: number of moles = mass/molecular mass, determine the mass required (in grams) of Na2 CO3. [Hint: you need to look at the Periodic Table to get the atomic mass of each of the elements that make up sodium carbonate]. Your answer should be correct to 3 significant figures. (b) Determine the molar concentration, assuming you will dissolve this mass of the compound in 250.0 ml of deionised water. Molar concentration is give by number of moles/ volume of deionised water used. Give your answer in mol/dm3 and correct to 3 significant figures [ hint you need to change ml to dm3 ] You are required to show the use of negative indices in serial dilutions. That is, changing the molar concentration of your solution of sodium carbonate by diluting the solution in deionised water a number of times. Below shows the procedure you need to follow. In each step YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORKINGS OUT AND IT MUST INCLUDE NEGATIVE INDICES CALCULATIONS. The Procedure: (c) After making the standard concentration, as (b), accurately take out 25.0 ml and place in a volumetric flask. Add 225.0 ml of deionised water up to the mark. What is the new concentration? [hint: to show the use of negative indices you need to link this solution with the original molar concentration in (b)] (d) Now accurately take out 2.5 ml of the solution in (c) and place in a volumetric flask. Add 225.0 ml of deionised water up to the mark. What is the new concentration? [hint: to show the use of negative indices you need to link this solution with the original molar concentration in (b)] (e) Now accurately take out 25 ml out of the solution in (d) and place in a volumetric flask. Add 225.0 ml of deionised water up to the mark. What is the new concentration? [hint: see above] (f)Now you have completed (c) to (d), summarise the process, explaining how negative indices can be used in serial dilutions. Thank you very much!

I live in Arizona where the temperatures are high in the summer. My question is about our air conditioner. We have a programmable thermostat and leave it set at 85 degrees during the day. If I set it lower - say 80 degrees - will it run more often to hold the temperature? Or would it run the same at either setting?

A young man about to decide what to study - Sciences or Humanities - finally chooses Sciences. A Russian scientist, who does not know well the young man (apart from greeting each other) when he sees him and is informed of his choice, he states:"You have made the wrong choice. You are made for Humanities, you must study Humanities". How did he reach this conclusion?

Is it possible that the recent mummies found in China are that of the lesser known ancient race Picts? There are suggestions that they travelled across the continents from today's Australia across the then joined land masses to Scotland, where many settled in an area called Pictland. Recent theories suggest that there were also Pictish settlements in the Canary Islands. Any ideas?
