Question 1 [2]

====

Use the heat capacity data in the course slides (slide 5) at :math:`T = [300, 500, 900]` K, with corresponding heat capacities :math:`C_p = [29.85, 30.51, 33.42] \rm J\ mol^{-1}\ K^{-1}`

  1. . Construct the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of order 2 that passes through all three data points. There is no need to simplify the polynomial.
  2. . Using this polynomial, compute (i.e. predict) the estimated heat capacity at :math:`T = 400` K and :math:`T = 800` K. Are the predictions reasonable?
  3. . Create a computer plot that shows your polynomial, over the range :math:`T \in [300, 1600]` K. Superimpose on this plot the 14 data points from slide 5 in the course notes.

Where is the greatest prediction error in your polynomial? Is this expected?

  1. . If you were to construct the Newton interpolating polynomial and estimate the heat capacities at :math:`T = 400` K and :math:`T = 800` K, what answer would you get? Explain.


Question 2 [1]

====

The heat of reaction for a specific reaction depends on temperature as follows:

======================================= ====== ===== ===== ===== =====
math:`T \rm[^\circ C]` -250 -200 -100 0 100 300

------ ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

math:`\Delta H_R \rm[J\ mol^{-1}\ K^{-1}]` 160.0 318.0 699.0 870.0 941.0 1040
======================================= ====== ===== ===== ===== =====
  1. . Express :math:`\Delta H_R` as a 5th-order polynomial using the Newton form of the interpolating polynomials. Report your intermediate results in a chart, as shown in the course material.
  2. . Estimate :math:`\Delta H_R(T=200 \rm ^\circ C)` and :math:`\Delta H_R(T=400 \rm ^\circ C)` using the Newton polynomials. Comment on the results.
