Hospital patients are often given glucose (blood sugar) through a tube connected to a bottle suspended over their beds. Suppose that this "drip" supplies glucose at the rate of 15 mg per minute, and each minute 20% of the accumulated glucose is consumed by the body. Then the amount y(t) of glucose (in excess of the normal level) in the body after t minutes satisfies the following. y' = 15 − 0.2y (Do you see why?) y(0) = 0 (zero excess glucose at t = 0) Solve this differential equation and initial condition.

a chemist carefully measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 0.60 kg sample of a pure substance from 47.3 c tp 53.3c. the experiment shows that 15. kj of heat are needed. what can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance? round to 2 sig figs.
Use bond enthalpies and mean bond enthalpies to estimate (a) the enthalpy of the anaerobic breakdown of glucose to lactic acid in cells that are starved of O2, C6H12O6(aq) → 2 CH3CH(OH) COOH(aq), and (b) the enthalpy of combustion of glucose (Ignore the contributions of enthalpies of fusion and vaporization). NOTE: When using bond enthalpies alone to estimate reaction enthalpies, it is not possible to include condensed phase interactions, so the estimates are for gas-phase reactions.

In the calibration step of a thermochemistry experiment, a current of 124 mA, from a 24.0 V source was allowed to flow through the electrical heater for 219 s and was found to result in an increase in the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents of +1.39 K. Given that the energy supplied by an electrical circuit is the voltage multiplied by the current, multiplied by the time, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents? Answer: 469 J K-1

a) Describe in your own words the relationship between standard change in Gibbs free energy associated with a chemical process (∆?o) and an equilibrium constant, Keq. A ∆?o of –3.8 kJ/mol is associated with the equilibrium 2A+B⇌C+D. If A and B are initially present in 1M concentration, find the equilibrium concentrations of all species. You know this reaction to be spontaneous at all temperatures, what can you deduce about the signs of the changes in enthalpy and entropy associated with this process? Why?
The enthalpy of a system is given by the equation H=U+PV where U is the internal energy, P=pressure, and V=volume. In addition, the internal energy, U=Q+W, where Q is the heat and W is the work. Suppose we want to find the rate of change in the enthalpy at constant pressure of 1.25 atm, what is the value when heat is absorbed by the system at a rate of 45 J/s and work is done by the system at a rate of 100 J/s, when the change of volume is rated at 35X10^-5 m^3/s?3. What is the change in enthalpy of the system with respect to time?
