Read the following excerpt from N. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn. Which of the following literary devices is most prominent in the excerpt? "They were golden eagles, a male and a female, in their mating flight. They were cavorting, spinning and spiralling on the cold, clear columns of air, and they were beautiful. They swooped and hovered, leaning on the air, and swung close together, feinting and screaming with delight. The female was full-grown, and the span of her broad wings was greater than any man's height. There was a fine flourish to her motion: she was deceptively, incredibly fast, and her pivots and wheels were wide and full-blown. But her great weight was streamlined, perfectly controlled. She carried a rattlesnake; it hung shining from her feet, limp and curving out in the trail of her flight. Suddenly her wings and rail fanned, catching full on the wind, and for an instant she was still, widespread and spectral in the blue, while her mate flared past and away, turning round in the distance to look for her." enjambment allusion imagery theme

Nitrogen forms a surprising number of compounds with oxygen. A number of these, often given the collective symbol NOx (for "nitrogen + x oxygens") are serious contributors to air pollution. They can often be interconverted, sometimes by reaction with oxygen or ozone (03) in the air. An atmospheric scientist decides to study the reaction between nitrogen trioxide and oxygen that produces nitrogen dioxide and ozone. She fills a stainless steel reaction chamber with 1.1 atm of nitrogen trioxide gas and 9.1 atm of oxygen gas and raises the temperature considerably. At equilibrium she measures the mole fraction of nitrogen dioxide to be 0.072. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, for the equilibrium between nitrogen trioxide, oxygen, nitrogen dioxide and ozone at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

3. When adding or dividing measured numbers, we don't count significant figures. Instead, we look at the precision of the measured numbers. The answer can only be as precise as the least precise measurement. For example: 10.1 +93.4 = 103.5, because both 10.1 and 93.4 are precise to the tenths place. Solve the following problems assuming all the numbers are measured. Report the correct number of significant figures. a. 87.3 +0.001 = b. 0.201 +0.92 = c. 320 +8.41 = d. 1200-60=
