Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. In other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and there is less air pressure pushing down on you when you are on a mountain. If hexane (C6H14C6H14), octane (C8H18C8H18), and octanol (C8H17OHC8H17OH) are heated evenly at different altitudes, rank them according to the order in which you would expect them to begin boiling.
A) Hexane at high altitude. B) Octane at high altitude. C) Octane at sea level. D) Octanol at sea level.

Achemist at a pharmaceutical company is measuring equilibrium constants for reactions in which drug candidate molecules bind to a protein involved in cancer. the drug molecules bind the protein in a 1: 1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. the protein concentration in aqueous solution at 25 ˚c is 1.74 x10-6 m . drug a is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. drug b is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. at equilibrium, the drug a-protein solution has an a-protein complex concentration of 1.00 x10-6m, and the drug b solution has a b-protein complex concentration of 1.40 x10-6m.a. calculate the kc value for the a-protein binding reaction.b. calculate the kc value for the b-protein binding reaction.c. assuming that the drug that binds more strongly will be more effective, which drug is the better choice for further research?
