Deep macro forces
Macroeconomic forces that have reshaped the business environment in the past few decades (ICT, globalization, and deregulation). We have also explored what new forces could potentially prevail in the decades to come (sustainability, demographics, re-regulation, and many others).
1. Pick a sector that you know well and identify and discuss the key macro risks for the coming five to ten years. (Hint: thinking both in terms of value added and profitability could be useful.)
2. Consider the longer term and come up with an original scenario where a deep macroeconomic force completely reshapes this sector's environment. (Hint: think of new kinds of competitors, threat to existing market structure, market price, competition for key resource, etc.). Discuss the underlying business opportunities that this would create (in this sector, or related ones).
3. If you knew for sure that this scenario was to happen in the near future, what kind of investment would put you in the best position to take full advantage of your foresight (in physical and/or human capital)?

Determine the percentage of each isomer in the mixture
: Question- An attempt at synthesizing a certain optically active compound resulted in a mixture of its enantiomers. The mixture had an observed specific rotation of 11.8°. If it is known that the specific rotation of the R enantiomer is -30.8°,

What observed rotation is expected of solution
: What observed rotation is expected when a 1.72 M solution of (R)-2-butanol is mixed with an equal volume of a 0.860 M solution of racemic 2-butanol, and the resulting solution is analyzed in a sample container that is 1 dm long?

Calculate the specific rotation of the compound
: Problem- An aqueous solution containing 5.35 g of an optically pure compound was diluted to 700.0mL with water and placed in a polarimeter tube 10.0 cm long. The measured rotation was -5.15° at 25 °C.

Explain the concentration of the sodium hydroxide
: Question- You titrated 1.740 g of a solid unknown acid that was dissolved in 100.0 mL of distilled water; the initial pH value was 2.5. You found that pH=pKa=4.2 when 12.50 mL of NaOH had been added. The concentration of the sodium hydroxide was 0..

Draw all stereoisomers for 2, 4 dimbromo-2
: Problem- Draw all stereoisomers for 2, 4 dimbromo-2, 4-dimethylpentane using the fisher projections for each of the determined stereoisomers. Then label the stereoisomers as either enantiomers, diastereomers or meso.

Predict zeff for a valence electron in p
: Question- Detailed calculations show that the value of Zeff for the outermost electrons in Si and Cl atoms is 4.29+ and 6.12+, respectively. 1) Predict Zeff for a valence electron in P, phosphorus, based on the calculations for Si and Cl.
