Suppose reaction A involves the making of bonds and 225 J of energy, reaction B involves the breaking of bonds and 400 J of energy, and reaction C involves the making of bonds and 125 J of energy.
 
  What is the overall A + B + C reaction energy? Is this an exothermic or an endothermic reaction? Explain.

Question 2

The meaning of the word energy is immediately clear to anyone.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

In making bonds, the total energy release was 225 J + 125 J = 350 J. This is less
than the energy supplied to break bonds, 400 J. Overall in this reaction, bonds are broken
and net energy is supplied to the chemical system by the outside world. This is an
endothermic reaction, because energy in the amount of 50 J = 400 J - 350 J needs to be
added to the system for the reaction to occur.

Answer to Question 2

We wish I would hope the student will recognize from this opening chapter the
difficulty here.

Many of the drugs used by neuroscientists are derived from toxic plants and venomous animals (such as snakes, spiders, snails, and puffer fish).

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.
