A pharmaceutical company claimed that experiments showed that its drug could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells by 35

percent. However, when five independent laboratories conducted the same experiment, they measured a reduction rate of only 5–8 percent. How did these laboratories show that the pharmaceutical company’s claims were invalid?

Answer :  The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.

Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The maximum safe operating temperature for this reaction is equal to 895°C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Width of cylinder = 22 cm.
  • Height, h = 26.4 cm.
  • Maximum safe pressure = 6.30mpa.
  • Mass = 0.537 kg.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

  • Ideal gas constant, R = 8.314 L-kPa/Kmol.
  • Molar mass of of dinitrogen monoxide (N_2F_2) gas = 66 g/mol.

Radius, r = \frac{width}{2} =\frac{22}{2} =11\;cm

<h3>How to calculate the maximum safe operating temperature.</h3>

First of all, we would determine the volume of the stainless-steel cylinder by using this formula:

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\V = 3.142 \times 11^2 \times 26.4\\\\

Volume, V = 10,036.81 cm^3.

In liters, we have:

Volume, V = 10.04 Liters.

Next, we would determine the number of moles of dinitrogen monoxide (N_2F_2) gas:

Number \;of \;moles = \frac {mass}{molar\;mass}\\\\Number \;of \;moles = \frac {537}{66}

Number of moles = 8.136 moles.

Now, we can solve for the maximum safe operating temperature by applying the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT\\\\T=\frac{PV}{nR} \\\\T=\frac{6.30 \times 10^3 \times 10.04}{8.136 \times 8.314}\\\\T=\frac{60541.2}{67.6427}

T = 895.02 ≈ 895°C.

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to
zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>D. It will decrease by a factor of 4</u>

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

A+B\rightarrow C+D

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}.................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, <u><em>doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,</em></u>

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

2= 2^{a}

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1  = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}

<u>r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}.............(3)</u>

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if  cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}

r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}

r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}............(a)

But

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

<u>r' = 1/4 r</u>
