Amoxicillin is an antibiotic packaged as a powder. When it is used to treat babies and small animals, the pharmacist or veterinarian must suspend it in water, so that it can be administered orally with a medicine dropper. The label says to dispose of unused suspension after 14 days. It also points out that refrigeration is required. In the context of this chapter, what is implied in the latter two statements?
For the following combustion reactions, predict whether compression will favour the formation of products or reactants, or whether there will be no change in the equilibrium composition:(a) C4H8(g) + 6 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(I)(b) C2H5OH(I) + 3(1)/(2) O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(I)(c) C6H12O11(s) + 3(1)/(2) O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(I)(d) 2 C6H5NH2(1) + 17(1)/(2) O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 7 H2O(I) +2 NO2(g)

Manfred Eigen, a German physical chemist working dur- ing the 1970s and 1980s, earned a Nobel Prize for devel- oping the "temperature-jump" method for studying kinetics of very rapid reactions in solution, such as proton transfer. Eigen and his co-workers found that the specific rate of proton transfer from a water molecule to an ammonia molecule in a dilute aqueous solution is k = 2 x 10° s-'. The equilibrium constant Kµ, for the reaction of ammonia with water is 1.8 x 10-8, What, if anything, can be deduced from this information about the rate of transfer of a proton from NH; to a hydroxide ion? Write equations for any reactions you mention, making it clear to which reaction(s) any quoted constant(s) apply.
(Self-test 17A.1) Predict how the total pressure varies during the gas-phase reaction 2NOBr(g) → 2NO(g) + Br:(g) in a constant volume container at constant temperature. Define it in terms of a (fraction of NOBr reacted) and po (initial total pressure).
The reaction: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) = 2SO3(g) has an equilibrium constant, Kc = 4.4 Suppose a mixture contains 0.22 M SO₂, 0.16 M O2, and 0.25 M SO3. Calculate the value of Qc and predict whether the system is at equilibrium or not at equilibrium. If not at equilibrium, indicate the direction of net reaction. (A) Qc = 0.12; system is not at equilibrium; a net forward reaction occurs to form more SO3 (B) Qc = 7.1; system is not at equilibrium; a net forward reaction occurs to form more SO3 (C) Q = 8.1; system is not at equilibrium; a net back reaction occurs to form more SO₂ and 0₂ (D) Qc = 4.4; system is at equilibrium and there is no net reaction
