Short Essays: Please answer ONE of the following questions with brief essay responses (Five complete paragraphs minimum). [1 at 40 points] Imagine that you are a Hollywood screenwriter…create a pitch for the Networks executives and producers on a sitcom, or film, based upon Euripides’ Medea. How would you update, or adapt, the themes of Euripides’ Greek Tragedy for a 21st Century audience?  You must choose a target demographic (i.e. Adults aged 25-45, -or-, Students aged 12-18). Create a setting for the updated production, detail your chosen plot structure, and suggest possible actors to play the major roles and explain thoroughly all of your choices. Your essay, while you are encouraged to be as a creative as possible, will be graded on your specific examples and descriptions that support your “pitch”. Please feel free/encouraged to utilize anything we’ve discussed in our class regarding theatre history and literature to justify your choices.   Theatre often centers on the individual attempting to define themselves and the reality of the world within which they exist. Using Oedipus Rex, Lysistrata, or La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) compare and contrast at least two main characters from two separate plays and how their dramatic conflict depicts the individual defining themselves and their reality within society.  How are they used by their respective playwrights to express the struggle of the individual? What can you determine from your chosen play as to the concept of the individual in the respective society they were first performed? Finally, would the individual characters you selected still be relevant (or relatable) to a contemporary audience of your peers?   Aristotle named “Spectacle” as sixth in his hierarchy of the formal parts of Tragedy. Why did he place this element so low? Using either Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth or The Tempest, make an argument as to why “spectacle” should be considered a more important element in theatre today and where in the hierarchy would you place it? What specifically in Shakespeare’s plays leads you to believe that Shakespeare did not necessarily agree with Aristotle’s hierarchy? Are there other plays by Shakespeare or his contemporaries that would support your argument? Please feel free to use any of the other plays we’ve read to further support your argument.      

For the following reaction, calculate the volume of hydrogen gas that will be produced if [z] grams of zinc metal is completely reacted with HCl.  Report your calculated answer in liters, but leave off the units when entering your answer.  Ambient conditions:  [p] Torr of pressure, [t]°C. Zn + 2 HCl –> ZnCl2 + H2

Air normally contains 20.95 mole % oxygen, with most of the remainder made up of nitrogen.  If the current pressure and temperature are [p] mmHg and [t] °C, respectively, what is the current partial pressure of oxygen?  Report your answer in mmHg

Match each atom from the following Lewis structure of the nitrate ion with its correct formal charge.  Do not consider any resonance structures or resonance effects, just the structure pictured.  Some answers may be used more than once, some may not be used. nitrate_FC.png 

Complete the following passage with the best answers.  Some answers may be used more than once, some may not be used. In a(n) 1)_______________________ reaction, two aqueous solutions of soluble ionic species are combined which results in at least one pairing of ions producing an insoluble solid.  This type of reaction belongs to a larger class of reactions called 2)____________________ reactions, in which two species ‘swap’ bonding partners.  There are several ways to express such a reaction with a chemical reaction equation.  In a(n) 3)______________________ equation, the reactant and product species are written as complete formulas, with ions paired together as salts.  Subscripts of (aq) or (s) may denote whether each compound is soluble or insoluble, but otherwise, no dissociation is depicted.  This type of equation can be expanded into a 4)___________________ equation, where each soluble ion is written separately, expressing its state of being dissociated in solution, while insoluble compounds remain written as complete formulas.  In such an equation, 5)______________________ can be clearly seen, appearing both on the reactant and product side of the equation, indicating that they are not interacting with other ions or participating in the formation of the solid.  Eliminating these inactive species gives a(n) 6)________________________ where only the ions which come together to react and form the solid are shown, as well as the solid produced.

A unit is manufacturing synthetic oil and using a hydrogenator to reduce olefin content in the product.  The hydrogenator uses compressed hydrogen and a catalyst to react with any remaining olefins (alkenes) in the material to make a saturated, more stable product.  Under current operating conditions, [m] moles of hydrogen are required per ton of process material passing through the hydrogenator, and the unit produces [t] tons per hour, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.  The hydrogenator is fed by a hydrogen storage tank holding [l] liters of hydrogen, currently at [p] psi, with the ambient temperature stable at [temp] °C.  If an operator has just come in for a seven day shift, what should he expect the pressure reading to be on the last day of his shift (seven whole days later)?  Give your numerical answer in psi. (Note:  1 atm = 14.696 psi)

A [vone] liter tank of compressed nitrogen (N2) with a pressure of [pone] psi is sitting in a warehouse at a temperature of [tone]°C.  How much volume would this nitrogen occupy if it were released to the atmosphere at [ttwo]°C?  Give your answer in liters.  (Note — 1 atm = 14.696 psi)
