For this discussion activity, please respond to the following question: Combustion requires three primary components: fuel, energy, and an oxidizer. The fuel is the organic starting material and once the activation energy is achieved, large amounts of energy are rapidly released fragmenting reactants into individual atoms. The components quickly rearrange into smaller and more stable molecules. Oxygen serves as an oxidizer, due to its electronegativity, accepting electrons and forming products including water and carbon dioxide. Nitroguanidine (CH4N402) is used in select fertilizers and more commonly as a component to propel munitions. Suppose a field artillery soldier was calculating how much nitroguanidine was needed to propel a round. The soldier would need to consider the desired volume of gas to displace along the gun tube and the ambient operating conditions. a. Predict the reaction products for the detonation of 1 mole of nitroguanidine. b. Calculate the amount of explosive needed (in pounds) to produce 1500.0 liters of gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1.0 atmosphere of pressure and 32 °F. c. What do you think happens if you limit the amount of oxygen available during the reaction?

Identify what is being described in every item. 1. It refers to the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements. 2. It refers on how much energy has been transferred out or taken in during a chemical reaction. 3. It sums the changes in enthalpy for a series of intermediate reaction steps to find the overall change in enthalpy for a reaction. 4. It occurs when the energy of collision is enough to break reactant bonds and form product bonds. 5. It's is a type of catalyst that is widely used in industrial manufacture of chemicals. 6. It implies that the reaction takes place in solution, with the soluble catalyst also on solution.

Scrubbers are a type of pollution control technology installed on industry smokestacks to capture sulfur dioxide before it is emitted to the atmosphere. Once collected, the sulfur dioxide can be used to manufacture sulfuric acid, which can be sold to other companies that make detergents. Explain how the use of scrubber technology benefits both industry and the environment.
