The food we eat is degraded, or broken down, in our bodies to provide energy for growth and function. A general overall equation for this very complex process represents the degradation of glucose (C6H12O6) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O): C6H1206 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H2O If 856 g of C6H1206 is consumed by a person over a certain period, what is the mass of CO2 produced?

Consider the synthesis of ammonia: N2 (g) +3H, (g) 2NH3 (g)
Dimethyl ether, a useful organic solvent, is prepared in two steps. In the first step, carbon dioxide and hydrogen react to form methanol and water: CO₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) CH₂OH(1) + H₂O(1) In the second step, methanol reacts to form dimethyl ether and water: 2 CH₂OH(1)→ CH₂OCH3(g) + H₂O(1) Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of dimethyl ether from carbon dioxide and hydrogen from these reactions.

Ethanol, C,H,O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C3H18, is 1.306×10³ kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 482 grams of 2-methylheptane ? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 482 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 482 grams of 2- methylheptane v more less the same amount

Suppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways: A+B C Reaction 1 gives product C. A+B D →> Reaction 2 gives product D. The following facts are known about the two reactions: • Reaction 1 is endothermic and Reaction 2 is exothermic. • If a reaction vessel is charged ("filled") with A and B, then at first C is produced faster than D. Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. Note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch. energy A + B Reaction 1 reaction coordinate energy A + B Reaction 2 reaction coordinate ☑
2. NITROGEN MOLECULES It is difficult to think that some good things come from the powerful bust of electrical energy. During thunderstorms, the nitrogen and oxygen from the air react to form oxides of nitrogen. These oxides dissolve in the rain and are absorbed by the soil, fertilized with nitrogen. According to studies, more than 50% of usable nitrogen is generated from the atmosphere in this process. Explain the process that happens to nitrogen and oxygen during a thunderstorm in terms of chemical bonding. What is the benefit of this bond? (P) 3. ALLOYS Metal alloys are created through metallic bonding. Two examples of alloys are brass (zinc and copper) and steel (carbon and iron). Metallic bonding is utilized for its conductive properties to help transfer electricity throughout a house via copper wiring. Metallic bonds also exist between cast iron, which is made up of iron and carbon, bronze (Cu &Sn), stainless steel (Fe, Cr, C, In), and so on. It is used mostly to improve the…
