  3. A TMU chemistry practical requires preparing 500 mL of a 0.1 M NaCl solution. How many grams of NaCl (MW = 58.44 g/mol) are needed?

    Answer: 2.922 g

    Moles needed = 0.1 mol/L × 0.5 L = 0.05 mol; mass = 0.05 mol × 58.44 g/mol = 2.922 g.

  4. In a TMU marketing practical, what does 'A/B testing' involve?

    Answer: Comparing two versions of content to determine which performs better

    APA style is the standard format for science, engineering, and social science disciplines, including those at TMU's faculties.

  6. During a TMU architecture practical, what is the primary purpose of a site analysis before designing a building?

    Answer: To understand environmental, contextual, and regulatory constraints of the location

    Site analysis examines factors such as topography, climate, zoning laws, sun orientation, and neighbouring structures that will shape design decisions.

  7. In a TMU information technology practical, what is the main function of a firewall?

    Answer: To monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules

    A firewall acts as a security barrier that filters network traffic according to predefined rules, blocking unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communication.
