Outline the concept of condition as it applies to cattle.

What will be an ideal response?


Condition is the amount of fat a breeding animal is carrying. When an animal is too thin, fertility may be a problem. Animals must store enough energy not only to maintain life but to allow the reproductive systems to function properly. When an animal is too fat, in contrast, the act of breeding may be difficult. For example, excessive fat deposits can restrict the birth canal during birthing_

We know five models for activity coefficients: 1-parameter Margules, 2-parameter Margules, Wilson, van Laar and Scatchard-Hildebrand. Identify which of these five models is the best choice to use if the given information is the only information available. For each of the other four models, indicate whether it is (a) not applicable to this problem because necessary information is missing, or (b) applicable, but not the preferred choice. If you say (a), then explain what information is missing, and if you say (b), then explain why you didn’t ch

This problem concerns mixtures of two liquids, W and Z. Some data for pure W and pure Z is given in the table below. No data on mixtures of these compounds is available, but based on their molecular structures, use of the ideal solution model is considered unrealistic. You are going to use a thermodynamic model to predict whether this pair of compounds will form stable liquid mixtures, or whether there will be a miscibility gap, at atmospheric pressure and various temperatures.
