A patient who just completed an alcohol treatment program is prescribed disulfiram to help maintain sobriety. Which teaching is most important for the nurse to review with the patient?

A 30-year-old male client is admitted to the psychiatric unit with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. His family reports that for the past 2 months he has been in constant motion, sleeping very little, spending lots of money, and has been “full of ideas.” During the initial assessment with the client, the nurse would expect him to exhibit which of the following?

Nitrogen and oxygen gases may react to form nitrogen monoxide. At 1500 °C, Kc equals 1.0 × 10−5.   N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g)   If 0.030 mol N2 and 0.030 mol O2 are sealed in a 1.0 L flask at 1500 °C, what is the concentration of NO(g) when equilibrium is established?

Write a balanced chemical equation which corresponds to the following equilibrium constant expression.

The following data were obtained in a kinetics study of the hypothetical reaction A + B + C → products. [A]0 (M) [B]0 (M) [C]0 (M) Initial Rate (10–3 M/s) 0.4 0.4 0.2 160 0.2 0.4 0.4 80 0.6 0.1 0.2 15 0.2 0.1 0.2 5 0.2 0.2 0.4 20 What is the order of the reaction with respect to C?

Given the following chemical equilibria,   N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g) K1   N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) K2   H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) H2O(g) K3 Determine the method used to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction below.   4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) K c

Assume that the following endothermic chemical reaction is at equilibrium. C(s) + H2O(g) H2(g) + CO(g) Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?   1. Increasing the concentration of H2(g) will cause the reaction to proceed in the backward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O(g).   2. Decreasing the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).   3. Increasing the amount of C(s) will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).
