Chapter 2, Problem 2.4NP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The amount of ration that must the hiker consume to avoid reduction in the body temperature of 2.5 K as a result of heat loss needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: In thermodynamics, a reversible process can be defined as the process which can be reversed back to its original state.

Hence in reversible processes, both the system and surroundings are returned to their initial states. In general, all reversible processes are ideal processes and cannot occur naturally.

On the contrary, an irreversible process cannot come back to its initial condition. All spontaneous processes in nature are irreversible processes.

In an adiabatic process, the heat change is zero therefore the work done will be equal to the change in the internal energy.

The reaction for obtaining NO2 from NO and O2 has the rate equation: v = k[NO]2[O2]. Indicate which of the following options is correct.(A). This rate equation is inconsistent with the reaction consisting of a single trimolecular step.(B). Since the overall order is 3, the reaction must necessarily have some trimolecular step in its mechanism.(C). A two-step mechanism:  1) NO + NO ⇄ N2O2 (fast);   2) N2O2 + O2 → NO2 + NO2 (slow).(D). The mechanism must necessarily consist of three unimolecular elementary steps with very similar rate constants.
a. What is the eluent used in the column chromatography here (a “silica plug filtration” is essentially a very short column)? b. The spectroscopy of compound 5b is described in the second half of this excerpt, including 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR (which you will learn about in CHEM 2412L), MS (which you will learn about later in CHEM 2411L) and IR. One of the IR signals is at 3530 cm-1. What functional group does this indicate might be present in compound 5b?
Steps and explanations. Also provide, if possible, ways to adress this kind of problems in general.
