June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Heats of Reaction and Calorimetry
A chemical reaction is a process in which some chemical bonds are broken and others
are formed, in general, the chemical energy of a system is changed as a result of a
reaction.
A heat of reaction, is the quantity of heat exchanged between a system and its
surroundings when a chemical reaction occurs within the system at constant temperature.
One of the most common reactions studied is the combustion reaction. This is such a
common reaction that we often refer to the heat of combustion when describing the heat
released by a combustion reaction
3. An endothermic reaction, is the one
a temperature decrease in an isolated system or
a gain of heat from the surroundings by a nonisolated system, heat of reaction is a qrxn > 0
An endothermic reaction Ba (OH)2 . 8H2O (s) and NH4Cl (s) and are mixed at room
temperature, and the temperature falls to 5.8 oC in the reaction.
An exothermic reaction is one that
produces a temperature increase in an isolated system or,
gives off heat to the surroundings, in a non-isolated system, the heat of reaction is (qrxn < 0)
An exothermic reaction. Slaked lime, Ca (OH)2 is produced by the action of H2O on
quicklime, (CaO). The reactants are mixed at room temperature, but the temperature of the
mixture rises to 40.5 oC

4. Bomb Calorimetry
Used to measure the heat evolved in a
combustion reaction.
The system is everything within the double-
walled outer jacket of the calorimeter. This
includes the bomb and its contents, the water in
which the bomb is immersed, the thermometer,
the stirrer, and so on.
The system is isolated from its surroundings. .

qcalorim = heat capacity of calorium * ∆T
When the combustion reaction occurs, chemical energy is converted to thermal energy, and
the temperature of the system rises
5. Using Bomb Calorimetry Data to Determine a Heat of Reaction
Example 7-3
The combustion of 1.010 g sucrose, in a bomb calorimeter causes the temperature to rise
from 24.92 to28.33 oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter assembly is 4.90 kJ/°C
(a) What is the heat of combustion of sucrose expressed in kilojoules per mole of C12H22O11
(b) Verify the claim of sugar producers that one teaspoon of sugar (about 4.8 g) contains

7. Problem statement
A 1.000 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing
1200 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00ºC. After the reaction, the final
temperature of the water is 33.20ºC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (also
known as the “calorimeter constant”) is 837 J/ºC. The specific heat of water is 4.184
J/g ºC. Calculate the heat of combustion of octane in kJ/mol.
Solution
Since this is a combustion reaction,
heat flows from the system to the surroundings- thus, it is exothermic.
The heat released by the reaction will be absorbed by two things:
(a) the water in the calorimeter and
(b) the calorimeter itself.
The temperature change of the calorimeter is the same as the temperature change for water.
8. a. Calculate the heat absorbed by the water (qwater)
b. Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter (qcal)
9. The TOTAL heat absorbed by the water and the calorimeter
= (a) +(b):
=41.2 + 6.86 = + 48.1 kJ.
(Remember, q is positive because the heat is being absorbed).
The amount of heat released by the reaction = the amount of heat absorbed by the water and the calorimeter.
qreaction = – 48.1 kJ
1.000 gram of octane was burned, the heat of combustion for octane = to – 48.1 kJ/gram
What is the heat of combustion in kJ/mol?
= -48.1 kJ/g x 114 g/mol = – 5483 kJ/mol.
10. Work
Work involved in the expansion or compression of gases is called pressure volume work.
This type of work is performed:
i) by explosives, and
ii) by the gases formed in the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine.
Consider the decomposition of potassium chlorate to potassium chloride and oxygen.
2𝐾𝐶𝑙𝑂3 → 2𝐾𝐶𝑙 + 3𝑂2
The pressure inside the reaction vessel exceeds the atmospheric pressure and the piston is
lifted, the system does work on the surroundings. The work can be calculated by
work (w) = force (M * g) * distance (∆h) = -M * g * ∆h

The system is everything within the double-
walled outer jacket of the calorimeter. This
includes the bomb and its contents, the water in
which the bomb is immersed, the thermometer,
the stirrer, and so on.

qcalorim = heat capacity of calorium * ∆T
When the combustion reaction occurs, chemical energy is converted to thermal energy, and
the temperature of the system rises
Determination of ΔU and ΔH for Chemical Reactions
12. In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction is carried out at constant
volume. The motivation for doing so is that if dV = 0,
ΔU = qV.
Therefore, a measurement of the heat flow normalized to 1
mole of the specified reaction provides a direct measurement
of ΔUR.
no heat flow
will occur between the system and surroundings, and q = 0. Because
the combustion
experiment takes place at constant volume, w = 0. Therefore,
ΔU= 0.
So, it is an isolated system of finite size
13. Consider the system as consisting of three subsystems:
1. the reactants in the calorimeter,
2. the calorimeter vessel,
3. the inner water bath.
These three subsystems are separated by rigid diathermal walls and are in thermal
equilibrium.
Energy is redistributed among the subsystems as reactants are converted to products, the
temperature of the inner water bath changes, and the temperature of the calorimeter
changes.
ΔT, the change in the temperature of the three subsystems. The
mass of water in the inner bath, mH2O; its molecular weight, MH2O ;
its heat capacity, CP,m (H2O); the mass of the sample, mS ; and its molecular weight, MS, are
known.
ΔUcombustion is defined per mole of the combustion reaction, but because the reaction
includes exactly 1 mole of reactant, the factor mS / MS in Equation (4.21) is appropriate.
14. Example 4.3
When 0.972 g of cyclohexane undergoes complete combustion in a bomb calorimeter,
of the inner water bath is 2.98°C. For cyclohexane, ΔUcombustion is –3913 kJ mol-1.
Given this result, what is the value for ΔUcombustion for the combustion of benzene if ΔT
is 2.36°C when 0.857 g of benzene undergoes complete combustion in the same
calorimeter? The mass of the water in the inner bath is 1.812 x 103 g and the CP,m of
water is 75.3 J K-1 mol-1.
Solution
To calculate the calorimeter constant through the combustion of cyclohexane, we write Equation (4.21)
15. In calculating ΔUcombustion for benzene, we use the value for Ccalorimeter:
Once ΔUcombustion has been determined, ΔHcombustion can be determined
16. For reactions involving only solids and liquids, ΔU >> Δ(PV) and ΔH ≈ ΔU.
If some of the reactants or products are gases, the small change in the temperature
that is measured in a calorimetric experiment can generally be ignored and
ΔHcombustion = Δ Ucombustion = ΔnRT
ΔHcombustion = Δ Ucombustion + ΔnRT
Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas in the overall reaction.
and Δn = –3. Note that at T = 298.15 K, the most stable form of C6H12 and H2O is liquid.
For this reaction, ΔUcombustion and ΔHcombustion differ by only 0.2%.
17. at constant P using a constant pressure calorimeter. is directly determined because
ΔH = qP.
Equation (4.21) takes the following form for constant pressure calorimetry involving the
solution of a salt in water:
ΔH°solution is defined per mole of the solution reaction, but because the reaction includes
exactly 1 mole of reactant, the factor in Equation (4.21) is appropriate.
Because Δ(PV) is negligibly small for the solution of a salt in a solvent,
ΔU°solution = ΔH°solution
The solution must be stirred to ensure that equilibrium is attained before ΔT is measured.
18. Using Bomb Calorimetry Data to Determine a Heat of Reaction
Example

from 24.92 to28.33 oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter assembly is 4.90 kJ/°C
(a) What is the heat of combustion of sucrose expressed in kilojoules per mole of C12H22O11

20. Problem statement
A 1.000 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing
1200 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00ºC. After the reaction, the final
temperature of the water is 33.20ºC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (also
known as the “calorimeter constant”) is 837 J/ºC. The specific heat of water is 4.184
J/g ºC. Calculate the heat of combustion of octane in kJ/mol.
Solution
Since this is a combustion reaction,
heat flows from the system to the surroundings- thus, it is exothermic.
The heat released by the reaction will be absorbed by two things:
(a) the water in the calorimeter and
(b) the calorimeter itself.
The temperature change of the calorimeter is the same as the temperature change for water.
21. a. Calculate the heat absorbed by the water (qwater)
b. Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter (qcal)
22. The TOTAL heat absorbed by the water and the calorimeter
= (a) +(b):
=41.2 + 6.86 = + 48.1 kJ.
(Remember, q is positive because the heat is being absorbed).
The amount of heat released by the reaction = the amount of heat absorbed by the water and the calorimeter.
qreaction = – 48.1 kJ
1.000 gram of octane was burned, the heat of combustion for octane = to – 48.1 kJ/gram
What is the heat of combustion in kJ/mol?
= -48.1 kJ/g x 114 g/mol = – 5483 kJ/mol.
Editor's Notes
Exothermic reactions, the heat of reaction is a negative quantity (qrxn < 0)
This quantity of heat, in turn, is just the negative of the thermal energy gained by the calorimeter and its contents
A combustion reaction is an exothermic reaction, which means that energy flows, in the form of heat, from the reaction system to the surroundings. Therefore, the q for a combustion reaction is negative.
1 Calorie is equivalent to 1 kilocalorie; the capital C in Calories denotes kcal on food labels,
The temperature change of the calorimeter is the same as the temperature change for water. In this step, however, we must use the heat capacity of the calorimeter, which is already known. When using heat capacity, the mass of the calorimeter is not required for the calculation. (It’s already incorporated into the heat capacity).
molecular mass of octane = 114.23 g/mol
Suppose that this decomposition is carried out in a vessel. The walls of the container resist moving under the pressure of the expanding except for the piston that closes off the cylindrical top of the vessel.
This quantity of heat, in turn, is just the negative of the thermal energy gained by the calorimeter and its contents
Diathermal wall between two thermodynamic systems allows heat transfer but not mass transfer across it.
However, to determine , the heat capacity of the calorimeter, Ccalorimeter, must first be determined by carrying out a reaction for which is ΔUR already known,
