Carbon monoxide poisoning results when carbon monoxide replaces oxygen bound to hemoglobin. The oxygenated form of hemoglobin, HbO2 carries O2 to the lungs. HbO2(aq)+CO(g)HbCO(aq)+O2(g) At 98.6°F (37°C), G° for the reaction is about -14 kJ. What is the ratio of [HbO2] to [HbCO] when the pressure of CO is the same as that of O2?
One of the components of polluted air is NO. It is formed in the high-temperature environment of internal combustion engines by the following reaction: N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)H=180KJ Why are high temperatures needed to convert N2 and O2 to NO?
Consider the following reaction at 75C: 3R(s)+2Q(g)A(g)+5B(l)K=9.4 A 10.0-L sample contains 0.30 mol of R and Q and 0.50 mol of A and B. In which direction will the reaction proceed?
As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?
Water gas is produced from the reaction of steam with coal: C(s)+H2O(g)H2(g)+CO(g) Assuming that coal is pure graphite, calculate H for this reaction.
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic packaged as a powder. When it is used to treat babies and small animals, the pharmacist or veterinarian must suspend it in water, so that it can be administered orally with a medicine dropper. The label says to dispose of unused suspension after 14 days. It also points out that refrigeration is required. In the context of this chapter, what is implied in the latter two statements?
. Hydrogen gas and chlorine gas in the presence of light react explosively to form hydrogen chloride H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)The reaction is strongly exothermic. Would an increase in temperature for the system lend to favor or disfavor the production of hydrogen chloride?
Calculate H when a 38-g sample of glucose, C6H12O6(s), burns in excess O2(g) to form CO2(g) and H2O() in a reaction at constant pressure and 298.15 K.
9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.
Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.
For the process H2O(l)H2O(g) at 298 K and 1.0 atm, H is more positive than E by 2.5 kJ/mol. What does the 2.5 kJ/mol quantity represent?
