An educator wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school children in Colorado who are proficient in reading. The results of a recent statewide test suggested that the proportion is 0.70. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed to have a confidence interval to within 5 percentage points? Hints: Prior estimate is given; n =

A 51.6-mL dilute solution of acid at 23.85°C is mixed with 48.5 mL of a dilute solution of base, also at 23.85°C, in a coffee-cup calorimeter. After the  reaction occurs, the temperature of the resulting mixture is 27.25°C. The density of the final solution is 1.03 g/mL. Calculate the amount of heat evolved. Assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/g•°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 23.9 J/°C.
