Explain how increasing the efficiency of cars could help contain greenhouse warming.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Suppose reaction A involves the breaking of bonds and 75 J of energy, reaction B involves the breaking of bonds and 40 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.

Answer to Question 1

More cars being more efficient would mean smaller use of fossil fuels overall,
reducing emissions of CO2 . Of course, if people just drive more ...

Answer to Question 2

In making bonds, the total energy release was 125 J. This is more than the energy
supplied to break bonds, 75 J + 40 J = 115 J. Overall in this reaction, bonds are made and
net energy is supplied by the chemical system to the outside. This is an exothermic reaction,
because energy of 10 J = 125 J - 115 J can be extracted from the system when the
reaction occurs.

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.
