Abaker uses sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) as the leavening agent in a banana-nut quick bread. the baking soda decomposes according to two possible reactions. reaction 1: 2 nahco3(s) → na2co3(s) + h2o(l) + co2(g) reaction 2: nahco3(s) + h+(aq) → h2o(l) + co2(g) + na+(aq) calculate the volume (in ml) of co2 that forms at 170.°c and 0.900 atm per gram of nahco3 by each of the reaction processes.

Achemist at a pharmaceutical company is measuring equilibrium constants for reactions in which drug candidate molecules bind to a protein involved in cancer. the drug molecules bind the protein in a 1: 1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. the protein concentration in aqueous solution at 25 ˚c is 1.74 x10-6 m . drug a is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. drug b is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. at equilibrium, the drug a-protein solution has an a-protein complex concentration of 1.00 x10-6m, and the drug b solution has a b-protein complex concentration of 1.40 x10-6m.a. calculate the kc value for the a-protein binding reaction.b. calculate the kc value for the b-protein binding reaction.c. assuming that the drug that binds more strongly will be more effective, which drug is the better choice for further research?
