Explain why the following medicines should not be thrown down the drains

1 answer:

7 0

Because medications contains chemicals, it would dissolve into the water and not only would it pollute the water, it could flow out into areas where people are exposed to these waters.

Which of the following must be true about a reaction if it is only spontaneous at high temperatures?

Anastaziya [24]

1) Answer is: It is endothermic, with both positive enthalpy and entropy changes.

Endothermic reactions (ΔH>0) that increase the entropy of the system (ΔS>0) are spontaneous at high temperatures.

The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.

ΔH is the change in enthalpy.

ΔS is change in entropy.

T is temperature of the system.

When ΔG is negative, a reaction (occurs without the addition of external energy) will be spontaneous (exergonic).

2) Answer is: It is endothermic and heat is added to the system.

There are two types of reaction:

1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases, ΔH>0).

2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.

3) Answer is: For every two AB produced, the reaction requires three A.

Balanced chemical reaction: 3A + B → 2AB.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(A) : n(AB) = 3 : 2.

n(A) = 3 · n(AB) ÷ 2.

A and B are reactants and AB is product of balanced chemical reaction.

For every two AB produced, the reaction requires one B.

4) Answer is:

the amount of required activation energy = potential energy of the B - potential energy of the reactants A.

the enthalpy change of the reaction = potential energy of the products C - potential energy of the reactants A.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).

This is endothermic reaction.

The combustion of 0.570 g of benzoic acid (ΔHcomb = 3,228 kJ/mol; MW = 122.12 g/mol) in a bomb calorimeter increased the tempera

torisob [31]

Answer:

The temperature change from the combustion of the glucose is 6.097°C.

Explanation:

Benzoic acid;

Enthaply of combustion of benzoic acid = 3,228 kJ/mol

Mass of benzoic acid = 0.570 g

Moles of benzoic acid = $\frac{0.570 g}{122.12 g/mol}=0.004667 mol$

Energy released by 0.004667 moles of benzoic acid on combustion:

$Q=3,228 kJ/mol \times 0.004667 mol=15.0668 kJ=15,066.8 J$

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C

Change in temperature of the calorimeter = ΔT = 2.053°C

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

$15,066.8 J=C\times 2.053^oC$

$C=7,338.92 J/^oC$

Glucose:

Enthaply of combustion of glucose= 2,780 kJ/mol.

Mass of glucose=2.900 g

Moles of glucose = $\frac{2.900 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.016097 mol$

Energy released by the 0.016097 moles of calorimeter combustion:

$Q'=2,780 kJ/mol \times 0.016097 mol=44.7491 kJ=44,749.1 J$

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C (calculated above)

Change in temperature of the calorimeter on combustion of glucose = ΔT'

$Q'=C\times \Delta T'$

$44,749.1 J=7,338.92 J/^oC\times \Delta T'$

$\Delta T'=6.097^oC$

The temperature change from the combustion of the glucose is 6.097°C.
