Question
Chapter 2, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason that beetle does not get harmed by chemicals it stores and how it carries out the explosive discharge or irritating chemicals.
Introduction: Bombardier beetles can be found on ground. It inhabits all the places except Antarctica. It is a carnivorous insect. The bombardier beetle sprays a hot liquid in the case of danger. This is a defense mechanism that protects it from predators. The liquid contains irritating chemicals that can be fatal to its enemies.

Welcome to the Chemistry Forensics Agency. At the CFA, we use our chemistry expertise and understanding to help
solve problems of a potentially criminal nature. Bucks McGee, after being poisoned, is currently being treated in the
hospital with an antidote- the chemical Fe7(CN)18. The compound is so intensely coloured that even a small amount of
it makes for a black or dark blue suspension. Given that this antidote has never been administered at the hospital, none
of the doctors or nurses have experience with it. There is one very old bottle of Fe7(CN)18 pills in the medicine
storeroom, but the label is worn, and the units are in the old, archaic British Apothecaries' system which has unusual
units like drachms, scruples, grains, and mites: 453.6 grams (g) = 1 pound (lb) = 12 ounces (3) = 96 drachms
(3) = 288 scruples (3) = 5760 grains (gr) = 115200 mites (m) It would take days (at least!) for a new bottle of the
antidote to be ordered and received, and Bucks McGee probably doesn't have…
Can you give me one reason why molecular dynamics simulations are important
A chemistry student at GGC synthesized a new sulfonamide (S7) drug to help treat
malaria. Using a spectrophotometer the student observed that S7 converts to a
colorless molecule in the presence of malaria parasite called Plasmodium falciparum.
To study the rate of reaction, the student recorded the absorbance/amount of S7 at
a wavelength of 570 nm. The results are summarized in the table below:
