CSU CHEM 103 EXAM 2 2025
Air pollution solutions - -drive less, use less, burn less
SOx - -SO2-- formed when coal is burned added into water creates sulfuric acid
SO3 formed from O2 + SO2 causes sulfuric acid
VOC - -Volatile organic compounds
Organic compounds that easily become vapors or gasses
5.8*10^-2 - -0.058
PMx - -Particular matter respiratory irritant
Reacts with lung tissue depending upon size
NOx - -NO2 formed when any combustion occurs, mixed with water and oxygen every
time we burn a fuel, creates Nitric Acid
NO3 -- pollutant from automobile traffic and coal consumption
Indoor pollution - -Radon, asbestos, dust, smoke from cig, CO
Hormonal Activity of Prostaglandeins - -Hormones are the ones that end the pain
messages, they are the messages sent to each cell
Nylon structure - -Condensation reaction of diamine and a dicarboxylic acid
Addition Reaction - -A polymerization reaction that requires a free radical initiator- a free
electron that wants to be paired
World emission of CO2 - -6 Gigatons or 2200 billion pound
Us emissions of CO2 - -5,390 million metric tons
How does efficiency and conservation help? - -It can reduce Co2 emissions and
increasing efficiency is the best way to provide energy
How do batteries work? - -Anode ( -): uxidation takes place
Cathode ( +): reduction takes place.
voltage depends on redox chemistry

Samples that have different compositions throughout - -Heterogenous mixture
O3 - -Ozone - Respiratory irritant reacts with lung tissue
O+O2= O3
Global population and Energy Use - -7 billion people
26 EJ to feed the world
533EJ total use 74GH/person
China- 1.36 bill- 119 EJ- 88GJ/p
India- 1.25 bill- 138 GJ/p
EU 507 mill- 70EJ
USA- 321 mill- 94 EJ- 293 GJ/p
Transcription - -DNA to RNA gives expression, only linking a little section of DNA and
use it for protein making, makes an mRNA structure.
How are amino acids hooked together to create polypeptides/proteins? - -Condensation
Reactions
Polypropylene, polystyrene (PVC Structure) - -Propylene (-CH3) methyl side structure
Polystyrene (-C6H4) aromatic side chain
PVC (-CI) side chain
Side chains affect properties of polymers
Methyl Group (-CH3) - -
RNA - -the molecule on amino acids that connects mRNA to the amino acids by
following base pair rules and making nitrogen-- based bonds with mRNA
DNA structure - --Deoxyribose
-T's go with A's
-Whole strand copied
6.62*10^3 - -6620
Cellulose structure - -Beta Link Sheets
DNA to RNA to protein - -1. DNA-DNA = replication
2. DNA-RNA = transcription
3. RNA-protein = translation
Per Capita Energy - -Per person
Total energy/ total people= per person
