Acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel in welding, is produced in the laboratory when calcium carbide reacts with water.          CaC2 (s)  + 2 H2O (l) –> C2H2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) For a sample of acetylene collected over water, total gas pressure is 758 torr and the volume is 0.524 L.  At the temperature of the gas (296 K), the vapor pressure of water is 21 torr.  How many grams of acetylene are collected?

Considering the visible spectrum, which of the following colors of light will have the highest energy?

A steel tank used for fuel delivery is fitted with a safety valve that opens if the internal pressure exceeds 1.32 atm.  If the tank is filled with a gas at 275 K and 0.998 atm and placed in a water bath at 348 K, will the safety valve open?

Use the following reactions and given ΔH values.                        C (s) + O2 (g) –>  CO2 (g)                                                     ΔH= -393.5 J             2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) –> 2 H2O (g)                                           ΔH=  -483.5 J             C5H12 (l) + 8 O2 (g) –>  5 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)                ΔH = -3505.8 J   Calculate ΔH for the following reaction using Hess’ Law:                   5 C (s) + 6 H2 (g) –>  C5H12 (l)                                   ΔH =                            

Which element has the largest ionization energy?

HIPAA is a law that dictates the extent to which protected health information can be shared. What does the acronym “HIPAA” stand for?  H: [H] I: [I] P: [P] and A: [A1] A: [A2]

List 4 organs that are either completely or mostly found in the left lower quadrant.

List three “classic” signs and symptoms, according to the text, of a patient experiencing cardiac compromise.

SCENARIO Use this scenario to answer the following question(s). You and your partner are dispatched to a dorm on campus for a  report of a sick person. Upon arrival, you find a 19 y/o male patient surrounded by roommates. The patient is lying supine and not responsive to verbal or painful stimuli. He appears to be turning blue. One of his roommates says he may have overdosed on drugs. He has a carotid pulse so you look, listen, and feel for respirations. You determine the patient has agonal respirations. Based on your findings, which of the interventions/treatments listed below would be most appropriate for this patient?
