11.41 For a drug to be effective in treating an illness, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30 min. If a person receives an injection of 25 mg of penicillin at t = 0, how much penicillin remains in the body after 3 hours?

Consider the combustion of ethane: 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) If the ethane is burning at the rate of 0.20 mol/L·s, at what rates are CO2 and H2O being produced? CO2 = __________ mol/L⋅s H2O = __________ mol/L⋅s
A bimolecular chemical reaction is one in which two chemicals react to form another substance. Suppose that one molecule of each of the two chemicals reacts to form two molecules of a new substance. If x represents the number of molecules of the new substance at time t, then the rate of change of x is proportional to the square of the numbers of molecules of the original chemicals available to be converted. That is, if each of the chemicals initially contained A molecules, then dx dt = k(A − x)2 where k is a constant. If 40% of the initial amount A is converted after 1 hour, how long will it be before 50% is converted? (Give an exact answer. Do not round.)
Consider the combustion of ethane: 2 C2 H6 (g) + 7O2(g) ---> 4 CO2 (g) + 6H2O(g) If the ethane is burning at the rate of 0.6 mol/L × s, at what rates are CO2 and H2O being produced? CO2 = mol/L × s H2O= mol/L × s

The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane ( CH4 ) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihydrogen gas. Synthesis gas is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and is the major industrial source of hydrogen. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the reform reaction finds that 526. liters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction is run at 186.°C and 0.36atm . Calculate the rate at which dihydrogen is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
