DoF = #components - #phases + 2
What is the Gibbs Phase Rule?
The Haber process is used to produce this.
What is ammonia?
This vector quantity is the product of a mass and an acceleration.
What is a force?
This is the most prevalent element (by weight) in the human body.
What is oxygen?
This is the most commonly used bacterium in industrial processes (full name please).
What is Escherichia coli?
This process stream is removed from a recycle to prevent an excessive buildup of inerts.
What is a purge stream?
The lead chamber process is used to produce this.
What is sulfuric acid?
This force is proportional to the normal force, but independent of the magnitude of the area of contact.
What is friction?
This is the second-most abundant element in the universe, though it is much less common on Earth
What is helium?
This plot of 1/S vs. 1/v is commonly used to determine vmax and KM for enzymes that follow Michaelis-Menton kinetics.
What is a Lineweaver-Burk plot?
This is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.
What is interpolation?
Nitric acid is most commonly produced using this process.
What is the Ostwald process?
This mass property of a rigid body determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration.
What is the moment of inertia?
The Statue of Liberty contains 125 tons of steel and 31 tons of this element
What is copper?
The bacterial growth model given by mu=mu(m)S/Ks+S
What is the Monod equation?
For a complete reaction, this would be completely consumed.
What is the limiting reactant?
The Hall-Heroult process is used to make this
What is aluminum?
This law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance.
What is Hooke’s Law?
This is the best electric conductor of the elements.
What is silver?
This byproduct of the sugar processing industry is commonly used as an economical carbon source for bacterial fermentations.
What is molasses?
This law states that the enthalpy or heat change accompanying a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states.
What is Hess’s Law?
The Dow process is used to make this.
What is bromine?
In polymer physics, this parameter is used to describe the dimension of a polymer chain and is defined as being proportional to the root mean square distance between the monomers.
What is the radius of gyration?
This is the only element that shows antiferromagnetic ordering in its solid state at and below room temperature.
What is chromium?
In a chemostat run at steady state, the specific growth rate (µ) is equal to this.
What is the dilution rate (D)?
