Textbook Question
Chapter 12.9, Problem 12.29YT
Modern methods of drug discovery involve systematic studies of compounds with only small variations in structure and computer modeling, among other techniques. Sometimes side effects of a drug may open the door for its usefulness in treating other illnesses. There are many examples where a new drug was discovered by “chance.” Find an example of a drug that was discovered by unusual circumstances and describe its discovery.

Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide.
A chemical equation you might write for this reaction is C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)-
Does this equation, as it is written, follow the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Whether you answered "yes" or "no", explain how you arrived at that answer.
Hint: There is evidence in the equation!
The study of detecting small quantities of substances in samples would most likely be performed by a chemist in the branch of chemistry known as ___ .
organic chemistry
biochemistry
inorganic chemistry
analytical chemistry
physical chemistry
Historically, toxicology testing has been focused on one chemical at a time, yet we are rarely expose to chemicals in isolation. Why do you think this approach to testing has been taken? What challenges may be involved in studying mixtures of chemicals?

(d) Ice is less dense than water.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forwardConfronted with the box shown in the diagram, you wish to discover something about its internal workings. You have no tools and cannot open the box. You pull on rope B, and it moves rather freely. When you pull on rope A, rope C appears to be pulled slightly into the box. When you pull on rope C, rope A almost disappears into the box. a. Based on these observations, construct a model for the interior mechanism of the box. b. What further experiments could you do to refine your model?arrow_forward
- 1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years. Eighty years ago it was 56 years. In your opinion, what was the major contributor to this spectacular increase in life expectancy? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSome scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardName two halogens. Look up each of your choices in a dictionary, in a book such as The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, or on the Internet, and make a list of their properties. Also list any uses of each element that are given by the source.arrow_forward
- What is calibration and why is it essential in relation to food analysis? Provide examples.arrow_forwardThe Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method. I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.arrow_forwardGreenwashing is a major problem. Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so. An example is Terracycle - a company that is supposedly able to recycle non-recyclable plastics and by-products - but which went over a year without collecting products from any of their customers. How can consumers navigate the labels to determine if products are actually sustainable.arrow_forward

In number two, if you are going to put sugar in your coffee, which kind of sugar will you use, sugar in a cube, or fine sugar? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat is Donnan's theory? What is its importance in biophysical chemistry?arrow_forwardThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to limit "free sugar" intake to no more than 5 % of the total daily Calories consumed. Sugars like sucrose are considered "free sugars" and provide about 4 Calories per gram. If an individual consumes 2000 Calories in a day, what is the maximum amount of sugar they are advised to take in? How does this amount compare to the added sugars found in popular soft drinks?arrow_forward
