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 reaction C(s)+2H2(g)CH4(g) K=0.26 at 1000C (3 significant figures). What is the equilibrium constant at 750C (3 significant figures)?
Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.
Are the following processes examples of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis? a Hydrolysis of immiscible ethyl acetate (l) in an aqueous basic solution. b Conversion of NOX gases to N2 and O2 by platinum metal. c Decomposition of atmospheric ozone by NO gas. d Oxidation of ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH, to acetaldehyde in the body. e Solid-state conversion of C graphite to C diamond by transition metal additives at high pressure.
Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.

The recycling of polymers represents only one industrial process that allows creating order in one location by creating greater disorder at some other location, often at a power plant. List three other industrial processes that must create disorder in the surroundings to generate the desired material.

Consider the following gas phase reaction at constant volume: 2CH2N2(g) −→ 2N2(g) + C2H4(g) i) Given that the initial pressure is p0 calculate the total pressure after three quarters of the CH2N2(g) has reacted. ii) Derive an equation which shows how the total pressure varies as a function of the fraction, α, of the CH2N2(g) that has reacted. iii) Sketch a graph which shows how the pressure varies as a function of α
(a) The decomposition of a gas phase reactant, A, into gaseous products, P and Q, proceeds according to the reaction stoichiometry: A (g) P (g) + Q (g) and has been studied by measurement of the pressure increase in a constant volume system.
