Name two different chemicals we have discussed or read about that we have added to the carbon cycle at levels that did not exist naturally.
a. Which functional group class does each chemical belong to? Explain.
b. How do the respective types of bonding and functional group classes of these molecules affect their reactivity?
c. What are the health and environmental effects of the two chemicals you choose to report on? Make sure to obtain your information from reliable sources such as your textbook and reference relevant sources.
d. Take one of the chemicals you choose to discuss and explain the properties of that chemical (such as water solubility, vapor pressure, etc.) that determines its migration in our environment. Search for the octanol/water solubility constant, provide that value and explain in a single sentence what this information tells us about that compound.
e. Name one green chemistry principle that could have the greatest potential to minimize the future impact of each of the two chemicals you discussed, explaining how each green chemistry principle can be applied specifically to each chemical.

1.) The following reaction was carried out in a 2.50L reaction vessel at 1100 K:
C(s)+H2O(g)?CO(g)+H2(g)
If during the course of the reaction, the vessel is found to contain 5.50mol of C, 15.8mol of H2O, 3.10mol of CO, and 8.20mol of H2, what is the reaction quotient Q?
2.) The reaction
2CH4(g)?C2H2(g)+3H2(g)
has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.154.
If 6.70mol of CH4, 4.40mol of C2H2, and 10.90mol of H2 are added to a reaction vessel with a volume of 5.90L , what net reaction will occur?
Options for #2:
a.) The reaction will proceed to the left to establish equilibrium.
b.)The reaction will proceed to the right to establish equilibrium.
c.) No further reaction will occur because the reaction is at equilibrium.
