The volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coterminous edges $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ is $3$. Then the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the coterminous edges $\vec{a} + \vec{b}, \vec{b} + \vec{c}, \vec{c} + \vec{a}$ is

Calculate the $emf$ of the cell $Cu_{(s)}|Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}||Ag^{+}_{(aq)}|Ag_{(s)}$. Given: $E_{Cu^{2+} / Cu}^0 = +0.34 \ V$,$E_{Ag^{+} / Ag}^0 = 0.80 \ V$.

$A$ radioactive sample of $U^{238}$ decays to $Pb$ through a process for which the half-life is $4.5 \times 10^9 \text{ years}$. What is the ratio of the number of nuclei of $Pb$ to $U^{238}$ after a time of $1.5 \times 10^9 \text{ years}$? (Given $2^{1/3} = 1.26$)
