A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueous solutions of NaCl to give Cl2,H2, and NaOH: 2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+C l2(g) a) If the plant produces 1.4×106 kg (1400 metric tons) of Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of H2 produced.

b) If the plant produces 1.4×106 kg (1400 metric tons) of Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of NaOH produced.

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?
