Information for questions 4-8 The following figure shows three isoquants for a firm that produces chocolate, with units of labor on the horizontal axis, and units of capital on the vertical axis. Each isoquant is labeled with the output of chocolate that its combinations of labor and capital produce, in tons of chocolate. Note that each grid spacing is 0.25 on both axes. Also shown are some auxiliary lines in solid black. The steepest line has slope =1, and the three flattest lines all have slope = 1/3 (all of these slopes are in absolute value, by the way). Note that each of the auxiliary lines is tangent to an isoquant, and that its tangency point is marked with a dot. For the numerical answers, only exact answers are accepted. For that purpose, adopt the convention: if a line seems to cross a grid point, assume that it does so exactly. For example, the Q=20 isoquant ends at point (L=8, K=1), exactly. Starting from a wage of 10 and a rental price of 10, suppose that the rental price increases to 30. Calculate the change in the amount of labor that the firm employs, in order to keep producing 20 tons of chocolate at minimum cost. Note that this change can be an increase in the amount of labor, or a decrease, so remember to enter the right sign: that is, enter a positive number if the firm increases the amount of labor, and a negative number if the firm decreases the amount of labor.

Consider the Haber-Bosch process for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements. Calculate the theoretical yield in moles NH3 from the complete reaction of [x] grams N2 in the presence of excess H2 gas according to the following balanced chemical equation: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)

A chemist carries out this reaction in the laboratory using 4.31 grams of zinc and an excess of sulfur:    Zn + S → ZnS From the balanced equation, she calculates that she should obtain 6.41 grams of zinc sulfide. However, she isolates only [x] grams of product. What is her percent yield for this reaction?
