Consider the Haber-Bosch process for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements. Calculate the theoretical yield in moles NH3 from the complete reaction of grams N2 in the presence of excess H2 gas according to the following balanced chemical equation: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)

A chemist carries out this reaction in the laboratory using 4.31 grams of zinc and an excess of sulfur:    Zn + S → ZnS From the balanced equation, she calculates that she should obtain 6.41 grams of zinc sulfide. However, she isolates only grams of product. What is her percent yield for this reaction?

Due to low vaccination rates, outbreaks of whooping cough caused by                                    continue to occur in various places in the United States.  Because infants, who cannot be vaccinated and for whom the disease can be fatal, most frequently contract the disease from their caregivers (eg., parents), caregivers are advised to update their own vaccination status.

Although most commonly found in the tropics (eg., Australia), this soil- and water-borne Gram-negative bacterium has recently been found in the soil and water of the Mississippi Gulf Coast when two cases of Whitmore’s disease were diagnosed in Mississipians who had no history of travel to endemic regions.  Although most people exposed to this bacterium do not develop disease, those who have diabetes or alcoholism are most likely to develop Whitmore’s disease, which is fatal in 20-50% of cases even with treatment.                        is the cause of Whitmore’s disease.
