Limestone does NOT decompose when heated to 900 K because, at 900 K, ΔH is:
A.
positive and less than TΔS.
B.
positive and greater than
... [Show More] TΔS.
C.
negative and less than TΔS.
D.
negative and greater than TΔS. - ANSWER B.
positive and greater than TΔS.
The reaction does not occur (is not spontaneous). This indicates that ΔG = ΔH - TΔS > 0. From inspection of the reaction, it can be concluded that ΔS > 0 (a gas evolves). Consequently, ΔH > TΔS explains why the reaction does not occur.
According to Table 1, what is the concentration of the glucose in the blood from which the diluted sample was taken?
A.
60 mg/dL
B.
90 mg/dL
C.
120 mg/dL
D.
150 mg/dL - ANSWER D. 150 mg/dL
From Table 1, the glucose concentration in the diluted sample is (0.20/0.24) × 6.0 mg/dL = 5.0 mg/dL. The blood then has a glucose concentration of 30 × 5.0 mg/dL = 150 mg/dL.
Which of the following oxidative transformations is unlikely to occur?
A.
A primary alcohol to an aldehyde
B.
A tertiary alcohol to a ketone
C.
An aldehyde to a carboxylic acid
D.
A secondary alcohol to a ketone - ANSWER B. A tertiary alcohol to a ketone
Oxidation of tertiary alcohols is difficult because it involves C-C bond breaking.
What is the effect produced by the PRK technique designed to correct nearsightedness?
A.
The density of the cornea is increased.
B.
The radius of curvature of the cornea is increased.
C.
The index of refraction of the cornea is increased.
D.
The thickness of the cornea at the apex is increased. - ANSWER B.
The radius of curvature of the cornea is increased.
in passage, it says nearsightedness flattens the cornea. Flattening the cornea would increase the radius of curvature.
The use of pulsed laser radiation in the PRK procedure, as opposed to continuous laser radiation, allows the cornea to:
A.
absorb more radiation.
B.
change its index of refraction.
C.
increase the area exposed to radiation.
D.
maintain a lower average temperature. - ANSWER D.
maintain a lower average temperature. [Show Less]
