VISUALIZING CONCEPTS

1 The reaction between reactant A (blue spheres) and reactant B (red spheres) is shown in the following diagram  

Based on this diagram, which equation best describes the reaction [Section 3.1] 

33 The following diagram represents the collection of elements formed by a decomposition reaction, (a) If the blue spheres represent N atoms and the red ones represent O atoms, what was the empirical formula of the original compound (b) Could you draw a diagram representing the molecules of the compound that had been decomposed Why or why not [Section 3.2] 

4 The following diagram represents the collection of CO2 and H2O molecules formed hy complete combustion of a hydrocarbon. What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon [Section 3.2] 

5 Glycine, an amino acid used by organisms to make proteins, is represented by the following molecular modeL

NLP systems are being developed to address the increasingly challenging problem of data mining for systems level content from the published literature, that is, integrating across the global expert database of biomedical research [71]. One recent approach to this problem was to develop a web-based tool, PubNet, that is able to visualize concept and theme networks derived from the PubMed literature [72]. 

About the same time, Born, who had been lecturing in the United States during 192526, developed a probabilistic interpretation of the motions of the quantized electron. Now Y(x,y,z)2j dt was the probability of finding the electron in a volume element dt at coordinates x,y,z. Born s notion was based on a classical and visual conception of particles, consistent with the positions of atoms established in x-ray crystallogaphy, as discussed in his book, Dynamik der Krystallgitter. 

As it must appear, now (meaning well over thirty years later) is the time to pose those unmerciful questions, particularly about exactly how this bizarre tableau was inextricably interlocked with the thoughts and visual conceptions which make up his past (and his [1969] present) as an artist. ... 

This visual conception helps to define the fundamental property for characterizing the radiation field in a photochemical reactor the spectral... 

There is a model that helps us understand the way that memory is laid out. This model is actually called the MS-DOS Memory Map. It was not created all at once but has evolved over time. The first computers to run DOS were based on the Intel 8088 processor. That processor could only access a maximum of 1MB (1,024KB) of memory. So, the first memory map looked like the one illustrated in Figure 3.4. This map allows us to describe how the memory is being used. It is important to remember that this memory map is also called a stack, because for purposes of visualizing concepts the memory blocks are stacked on top of one another. 

As a second example, we shall consider another experiment in which the process is quite spontaneous, and irreversible. It results, therefore, in an entropy increase, but here the visual concept of randomization is difficult to apply. It is possible to relate, mathematically, the entropy of a material to its degree of disorder. This involves a... 

At the end of each chapter is a series of exercises, again to test your problem-solving skills in chemistry. Your instructor wdl very likely assign some of these end-of-chapter exercises as homework. The first few exercises called Visualizing Concepts are meant to test how well you understand a concept without plugging a lot of numbers into a formula. The other exercises ate divided into sections that reflect the order of the material in the chapter. These exercises ate grouped in pairs, with the answers given in the back of the book to...
