The following reversible enzymatic reaction occurs in many areas of the body, but especially in red blood cells. The conversion of water and carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions occurs through the action of an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. Use the Law of Mass Action to predict which direction this equation will go under different circumstances. CO2 + H2O ↔ H+ + HCO3- Hyperventilating would increase the loss of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood. In what direction would the reaction above go in order to restore equilibrium? Left or right?

Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) When chlorobenzene reacts with a hot solution of sulfuric and nitric acids, an interesting result occurs: the reaction is slower than the reaction of the solution with benzene – which is similar to the result of the reaction of the solution with nitrobenzene – but it generates products with the same substitution pattern seen in the reaction of the solution with phenol. Explain why chlorobenzene has this curious reactivity.

12:27 12-2 Analyzing Data... NAME Energy (kJ) NAME 1000 Many chemical reactions involve a change in energy. When the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products, the reaction gives off heat and is exothermic. When the energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, the reaction must absorb energy from the surroundings to occur and is endothermic. If the intermediate stage (the activated complex) is of a higher energy, then the reaction can only take place if the reactants are given an initial energy input (the activation energy). The graph shows energy diagrams that indicate how the energy changes as three reactions occur.
