When food spoils, it is a chemical reaction. For example, rancid butter is produced when the fat molecules in the butter undergo oxidation. Another factor that can lead to the decomposition of food molecules is the presence of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. To preserve food, manufacturers try to slow down the rates of such reactions. Note that microorganisms need both water and oxygen for their metabolic reactions to occur.
1. What actions will decrease the rates of the reactions in the food (and therefore slow down spoiling)?
a. Remove water from food by dehydration.
b. Package food in water.
c. Transport food in a refrigerated truck.
d. Store food in the open air.
e. Place food on a warm surface.
f. Store food in airtight containers.
g. Store food in a refrigerator after opening.

The ozone molecule o3 has a permanent dipole moment of 1.8×10−30 cm. although the molecule is very slightly bent-which is why it has a dipole moment-it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10−10 m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. suppose an ozone molecule is in a 8000 n/c uniform electric field. in equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. but if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion.what is the frequency f of oscillation?
