Chapter 12.9, Problem 12.28YT
You Decide Supersize My Aspirin
A friend who suffers from heart disease has been told by the doctor to take one aspirin tablet a day. To save money, your friend often buys the large 300-tablet bottle of aspirin. You, on the other hand, rarely take aspirin, but cannot pass up a good bargain. You also buy the large bottle.
- a. Why is the “giant economy size” bottle of aspirin not as good a deal for you as it is for your friend?
- b. What chemical evidence supports your opinion?

- ercise 8.7 Penicillin, an important antibiotic (antibacterial agent), was discovered accidentally by the Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming in 1928, although he was never able to isolate it as a pure compound. This and similar antibiotics have saved millions of lives that would otherwise have been lost to infections. Penicillin, like many of the molecules produced by living systems, is a large molecule containing many atoms. One type of penicillin, penicillin F, has the formula C14H20N2SO4 .

The solution temperature, originally 25.0C, rises to 31.8C. Give the enthalpy change, H, for the reaction: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) Express the answer as a thermochemical equation. For simplicity, assume that the heat capacity and the density of the final solution in the cup are those of water. (In more accurate work, these values must be determined.) Also assume that the total volume of the solution equals the sum of the volumes of HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq).arrow_forward
