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.

Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites worldwide, and infects up to 20% of the world population, mostly in poorer countries with inadequate sanitation. Infections are most common in children, though chronic Giardia is more common in adults.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
