2. problem 4.5
3. problem 4.6
4. problem 4.11
5. problem 4.15 (cf. steps in 4.14; assume the mixing ratio is by number, not by mole)
6. problem 4.27

• 7. Determine the cooling time for Uranus.For the heat capacity, use a column one scale height deepand a molar specific heat C_p = 5R/2. The cooling time is just the reciprocal of the fraction of the total heat radiated per second according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law using the effective temperature of the planet.
