Mrs. J is an 82-year-old widow who has a rare and debilitating type of arthritis. Mrs. J’s next-door neighbor cooks and cleans for her twice a week.  Mrs. J has maintained a very close friendship with Mr. D, her former high school sweetheart. Mr. D is single and lives in a nearby retirement facility.  He calls Mrs. J several times a week and patiently listens to her as she talks about her children and grandchildren.  Recently, Mrs. J received a letter from the Social Security Administration informing her that her benefits would be terminated at the end of the month due to her failure to verify her annual income.  Mrs. J immediately did what she usually does when she receives something in the mail that she does not understand—she called the Director of the local Community Senior Citizen Program. After Mrs. J read the letter to the director over the phone, the director provided Mrs. J with very clear and concise instructions on what to do. The next day, Mrs. J mailed a copy of her income tax return to the Social Security Administration (SSA) office, and two weeks later, she received a phone call from the SSA office informing her that her benefits had been reinstated.  Identify the four types of social support and provide a specific example of each from the scenario above. Base your response solely on the information given above.

An important step in the synthesis of nitric acid is the conversion of ammonia to nitric oxide.      4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g) Calculate ΔH°rxn for this reaction. ΔH°f [NH3(g)] = –45.9 kJ/mol ΔH°f [NO(g)] = 91.3 kJ/mol  ΔH°f [H2O(g)] = –241.8 kJ/mol Write out your calculations and answers clearly, with all numbers labeled correctly, on a piece of paper.  Right after submitting your exam, upload your photos to the Assignment Box, “Calculations for Exam 4 (Chapter 5 and 6)”
