vitoal125 0 Posted September 2, 2002 There are 4 passengers riding on a train. On one side of the aisle sits an Army officer and a Marine Private, on the other sits a beautifal girl and her mother. During the train ride, the Marine speaks with the girl and grows close to her. The train then enters a tunnel and two distinct sounds are heard, a kiss and a slap. When the train exits the tunnel, all four people have their own story of what happened in the dark. First off, the girl was happy that the Marine had the courage to kiss her but was upset that her mother had to slap him for it. The mother, however, could not believe that the young devil dog had the audacity to kiss her daughter but she was glad that her daughter had slapped him for the insult. The Army officer was inspired by the Marines courage to kiss that young girl but was puzzeled as to why she slapped him, the innocent army officer. The young motivated Marine private just sits with a smile as he knows it is not every day that you get to kiss a beautiful young girl and slap an Army officer.

vitoal125 0 Posted September 2, 2002 ok, here's another one: The Army Rangers are on a training exercise with the Marines. The Platoon of rangers comes up to a hill and they spot a Marine just standing on top of the hill. The ranger lt. sends two of his men up to get the marine. The marine disappears behind the hill and the two rangers follow. A few minutes later after hearing some noise of a scuffle, the Marine once again stands on the hill. This time, 5 rangers are sent. A few minutes later, he's on the hill again. This time, the enraged ranger lt. sends the rest of the platoon after the devil dog. This time there's a bunch of screaming and scuffling and the lt. sees one of his rangers crawling back to him. The lt is about to call in another platoon for support when the returning ranger crys out, "stop.... wait... its a trick.... there's two of them!!!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 2, 2002 Two Seals boarded a quick shuttle flight out of Dallas, headed for Houston. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, A Green Beret got on and took the aisle seat next to the two Seals. The Green Beret kicked off his boots, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Seal in the window seat said,"I think I'll get up and get a coke." "No problem," said the Green Beret, "I'll get it for you." While he was gone, the Seal picked up the Green Beret's boot and spit in it. When the Green Beret returned with the coke, the other Seal said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too." Again, the Green Beret obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Seal picked up the other boot and spit in it. The Green Beret returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the short flight to Houston. As the plane was landing, the Green Beret slipped his feet into his boots and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on?" the Green Beret asked. "This fighting between our groups? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in boots and pissing in cokes?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my friends knew these kids who were the best at paintball and no one could beat them. Well one day there were some ex-navy seals and the kids thought that they could beat them. So they challenged them. About 5 mins into the game the navy seals won. Mind you know there was only 2 of them and like 5-6 kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explain Le Chateliers Principle of Dynamic Equilibrium -OR- spell your name in BLOCK LETTERS. <span id='postcolor'> In 1888 Henri-Lewis Le Chatelier (1850 - 1936) a French industrial chemist made the observation: "Any change in one of the variables that determines the state of a system in equilibrium causes a shift in the position of equilibrium in a direction that tends to counteract the change in the variable under consideration." Perhaps it would be better to have a less direct quote. Simply put, Le Chatelier's Principle states that a system in equilibrium responds to any stress by restoring the equilibrium. This, of course, implies that we're dealing with a dynamic equilibrium. In chemistry we are dealing with reactions, and at equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal. Let's consider a simple reaction below: CO + H2O <======> CO2 + H2 If the reaction is in equilibrium, the two rates are equivalent. Notice I'm using the symbol <=====> as the double arrows that indicate equilibrium. If we were to inject some more CO into the reaction mixture, the rate of the forward reaction would go up, while at least at first, the rate of the back reaction would be constant. CO and H2O would be used up producing CO2 and H2. At some point in time, the concentrations of CO2 and H2 will have increased slightly, and the concentrations of CO and H2O will have decreased so that the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are again equal. Hence, the system will have come back to equilibrium. We could illustrate this by the plot of concentrations below. At some time we inject the CO and note the changes in concentration over time of the various reactants. When the concentration changes are complete, the ratio [O2]]H2] / [CO][H2O] will be the same that it was in the beginning. We can also describe the process we've looked at above as "shifting" the equilibrium. If we add one reactant, such as CO, we cause a shift in concentrations until the whole system is back in equilibrium. We can describe this in a table as shown below. I'm going to use some bogus initial concentrations for the various reactants since I don't have a clue as to the actual value of Keq in this case. LeChatelier's Principle Compounds CO H2O CO2 H2 Initial 3.0 M 3.0 M 2.5 M 2.5 M Addition add 0.5 M no addition no addition no addition New Conc 3.5 M 3.0 M 2.5 M 2.5 M New Equilib 3.5 M - x 3.0 M - x 2.5 M + x 2.5 M + x Notice that I've kept this example very simple. I've assumed that we initially put 5.5 M of both CO and H2O into the container and that 2.5 M of both CO2 and H2 were formed when the system came to equilibrium, leaving 3.0 M of the reactants. At some time we add 0.5 M of CO to the mixture. This causes the rate in the forward direction to increase. Since the stoichiometry of the equation requires that we use up one H2O for every CO, and that we produce one CO2 and one H2 for every CO, we can use x to symbolize the amount of these compounds formed or used up. Since you know the concentrations in the initial equilibrium mixture your should be able to solve for Keq, and then, once you know this value, you should be able to use some algerbra and actually solve for x. You'll have to use a quadratic equation to get to this. One of the most important applications of LeChatilier's Principle comes in the manufacture of ammonia.
