Question: 1. Consider the burning of a droplet of ethyl alcohol (or a wet wick) in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. How does the burning rate compare with the same droplet in atmospheric air, assuming that the logarithmic equation for is applicable, other things being equal?
2. Suppose you dip the wick of a wet-bulb thermometer in ethyl ether and expose it to atmospheric air at 20°C. What equilibrium temperature will the thermometer record under the unit-Lewis-number assumption?
