Assignment #3 – APA Formatting Assignment (10 points) 

 

Instructions: Read the following paragraph. Questions 1-4 refer to this paragraph. 

 

Smith, Jones, & Terry 2008 investigated the effects of death-qualification on jurors’ confidence. 

A “death-qualified” juror is one who is willing to give the death penalty. 60 college students 

were randomly assigned to one of 2 different conditions. In both conditions, participants 

completed a short questionnaire that asked them whether they would or would not be willing to 

give the death penalty. In the first condition, participants reported aloud their response, and those 

participants who were not willing to give the death penalty were asked to leave the experiment. 

In the other condition, participants handed in their response on a written survey. Again, the 

researchers told participants who were not willing to give the death penalty to leave. After 

participants unwilling to give the death penalty left, the researchers told the remaining 45 “death qualified” participants to fill out surveys regarding how confident they felt in their original 

death-qualification answers. The researchers found that, “participants in the verbal response 

condition were more confident in their death qualification status than participants in the written

response condition”. The researchers concluded that making public commitments about death-qualification status makes participants more confident in their death-qualified status.

 

1. The paragraph above has several APA formatting errors. Your job is to spot at least four 

errors, which you will describe. In each box below, type in the error and the correction for 

that error. (If you see less than four errors, then type “no other errors” in the remaining blank 

spaces). Assume that the paragraph above is in the literature review of a paper (in the 

introduction). You can also assume that it has 1 inch margins and is double spaced 1 point for 

each error spotted, or 4 points total)

4. This paragraph is actually fictional, but imagine that you want to reference the William 

Smith, Beth J. Jones, and Bennett Terry article, and that it was published it in May, 2008 in 

Law and Human Behavior, volume 8, pages 234-267. Their title was, “Death Qualification: 

The Question Format Matters.” In the box below, write out the correct reference in APA 

format. Note – there is no doi for this journal article. (2 points)

5. Correct the following references – type in the correct format in the box below each incorrect 

reference (1 point each reference – total of 2 points)

Chemistry Homework Help!

Answer all questions in the space provided. Number each question in your response. Answer each question in no more than 100 words (words exceeding this limit will not be considered in grading). One or more of the following questions will be graded.

For this activity, the letter “D”=Delta

1. The methane, CH₄(g) reaction and associated thermodynamic data at 298 K are given below.

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g)CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l)

DG^o_rxn= – 818kJ/mol

DH^o_rxn= – 890kJ/mol

DS^o_rxn= – 242 J/molK

Suppose that you start with 1 atm CH₄, 0.2 atm O₂, and 0.00038 atm CO₂. How does the maximum non-expansion work compare with standard conditions? Provide a thermodynamic justification to your answer.

2. Solid Ni metal (melting point 1728 K) has the amazing ability to react with gaseous carbon monoxide, CO(g), at 323 K to form a volatile, colorless liquid, Ni(CO)₄ (boiling point 316 K). Ludwig Mond – the person who made this discovery-described the reaction as ‘giving wings to the metal’.

Ni (s)+4 CO (g)Ni(CO)4(g) DH^orxn= -161 kJ/mol

Given that DS^Orxn = -410 J/molK, calculate the value of DG^Orxn at 25^OC.

3. Considering the data above, and given that for the process Ni(s)Ni(g) DH^O_vap = +430 kJ/mol, determine the bond enthalpy for a Ni–CO bond.

4. Suppose that you place 1 atm of Ni(CO)4(g) in a closed container with a trace amount of CO (PCO=0.002 atm) at 25^OC and allow it to reach equilibrium. What changes, if any, do you expect to observe when the reaction mixture is allowed to reach equilibrium? Explain your reasoning.

5. Mond developed a practical two-step separation scheme to obtain pure nickel metal from a mixture of nickel with other metals that do not undergo the same reaction, using only carbon monoxide. If the first step involves formation of pure gaseous Ni(CO)4 from the mixture, based on the thermodynamic data above, what do you think might be the final step to obtain pure Ni metal? Use a thermodynamic argument to justify your answer.

6. Consider the evaporation of water at 298 K and 1 atm pressure, H₂O(l) -> H₂O(g). The standard free energy of this reaction is: DG^O_rxn = +8.6 KJ/mol. If the partial pressure of water in the air on a dry (non-humid) day at 298 K is 0.001 atm, calculate DG_rxn and state whether the above process (i.e. evaporation of water) would proceed spontaneously. Show how you arrived at your answer.

How do children’s physical immaturity and developmental needs affect their behavior?

A major producer of plastic in the U.S. is about to expand its business. As part of this expansion, it will begin to sell its products in Europe and Asia. In addition, it plans to open a plant in Asia.

 

Jerry, president and CEO is concerned because he has heard many stories of companies that have tried to expand globally, but the operations failed either miserably or did not live up to expectationsdue to the cultural differences between workers and customers in each country.

 

Assignment:

1.  Research a selected multinational corporation or an internatonal non-profit agency to discover barriers that organiation encountered and what its managers dd to try to overcome those barriers.

 

2.  Generate and evaluate reasons why people may not appreciate the cultural point of view of others. VERy IMPORTANT! List 5 Resources or Materials (Citations)!!! Three of the 5 Citations may come from the textbook)!

 

3.  Discuss how appreciating cultural diversity affects peoples’ ability to communicate effectively in the content of a multinational corporation or an international non-profit agency.
