1. When the following oxidation-reduction reaction in acidic solution is balanced, what is the lowest whole-number coefficient for Rb*(aq)?
Rb(s) + Sr?+(aq) → Rb+ (aq) + Sr(s)

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

Kp is the equilibrium constant for dissociation of the propionic acid dimer. what is the sign of the slope for a plot of the natural logarithm of kp vs. inverse temperature for this reaction?

Asuspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. if one wishes to follow this process by monitoring the release of 14co2, at which positions in the glucose molecule would the 14c label need to be incorporated?
