Question 1

The heat of combustion per mole for acetylene, C2H2(g), is -1299.5 kJ/mol. Assuming that the combustion products are CO2(g) and H2O(l), and given that the enthalpy of formation is -393.5 kJ/mol for CO2(g) and -285.8 kJ/mol for H2O(l), find the enthalpy of formation of C2H2(g).
◦ -226.7 kJ/mol
◦ -846.1 kJ/mol
◦ -620.2 kJ/mol
◦ +226.7 kJ/mol

Question 2

Which of CH4(g), C2H2(g), and CH3OH(l) provides the most energy per gram upon combustion and which provides the least?

CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)ΔH° = -890 kJ
2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)ΔH° = -2599 kJ
2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l)ΔH° = -1453 kJ

◦ C2H2 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.
◦ CH4 provides the most energy per gram and C2H2 the least.
◦ CH4 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.
◦ C2H2 provides the most energy per gram and CH4 the least.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
