Reflection on my last Chemistry Timed Assignment on Energetics.

Okay, the paper was so-so, and although I studied pretty hard for it, my memory was really as bad as it is. I mixed up some of the concepts again but managed to figure out the right from the wrong...And the price I have to pay to get the first few questions right? I don't have enough time to do the last question when I do know how to do...Sigh, back to time management once more.

I should focus on GP, E.Lit, Physics and Maths from now on. I'm ok with Chemistry, for now. As for my Chinese...I don't think I should bother anyway. Buck up my H2s first.

Speaking of which, the GP project is really making me mad...Man, I just hate to do group work, but I have to learn to work as a team in the workforce right? Sigh (again)......

Anyway, I've created a blog specially for the original fictions and fan-fictions that I wrote in my free time. Finally...a personal blog/story-blog of my own......The Holic of Stories.

As for the class forum...I've made some adjustments, and now it includes arcade games! Hope you guys visit the forum more~also updated 2 mind-maps on Mole Concept by Wen Jie and myself respectively for you guys to download.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing with time, so we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving Hell. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions, and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can thus project that all souls go to Hell.

With the birth and death rates as they are, We can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This leaves two possibilities:
  1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until All Hell Breaks Loose.
  2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls entering Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell Freezes Over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year, "...it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in sleeping with her, then the second option cannot be true, and thus I'm sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

(Got this essay during Physics lesson...I thought it's kinda interesting, so posted it up as a blog. It's written by some guy from some university as this is a question from their mid-year Chemistry exam paper.)
