Classification of reactions lab

Need help with my Chemistry question – I’m studying for my class.

This is due midnight the 25th my time:) I wanted to give you a couple days heads up. As always, if you could add any pictures that show work as well that would be great! Any images can be looked up online and if pictures are needed that can’t be found let me know.

Learning objective: Observe the three types of chemical reactions discussed; precipitation, redox, and acid-base neutralization reactions.

Read the material in the text and watch the lectures.

Safety

  • This lab has been designed so that there are no safety concerns.

Materials

  • Epsom salts (Dollar store or your bathroom cabinet, grocery stores carry it but they have large bags)
  • Penny, minted after 1983
  • Sidewalk made of concrete or file
  • Vinegar
  • Red cabbage
  • Baking soda

Procedure

  1. Precipitation reaction
    • Dissolve soap in water. Use bar soap and not a detergent. The dissolved soap may be a little cloudy but you should be able to see through a cm of it. Make a saturated solution with epson salts. Epson salts can be found at those dollar stores. Add a spoonful to about 50 mL of water. If all of it dissolves, add a little more until some remains undissolved. The liquid with out the undissolved epson salt is a saturated solution.
    • Add a little bit of the saturated epsom salt solution to the soapy water and observe what happens.
  2. Redox Reaction
    • Find a penny minted after 1983. File away a portion of the edge until it is obviously silver (you can also scrape the coin on concrete or a rock). It can be a very small portion. Place the penny in small container with vinegar.
    • Closely observe the edge of the penny that was scraped to reveal the silver metal inside.
  3. Acid-Base neutralization reaction
    • Take a 3″ x 3″ leaf of red cabbage and blend it with a liter of water. Strain the purple liquid from the solids. This is an pH indicator. If you do not have a blender, you can boil a leaf and get the same colored solution. You may have to use a larger leaf.
    • Make about 50 mL of a saturated baking soda solution.
    • Use small portions for the following:
      • separate a portion of the solution into four containers. One container is the control (nothing will be added, so this is the color of the indicator with water)
        • Container 1 – control container, color of neutral solution.
        • Container 2 – add vinegar until the color doe snot change.
        • Container 3 – add the baking soda solution until the color does not change.
        • Container 4 – using about 10 mL of vinegar add some of the cabbage juice, enough cabbage juice so that the color is easy to observe. Add small portions of the the baking soda solution to the container. Make observations. Continue adding the baking soda solution until the liquid in the container matches the color of container 1 (the color in container 4 may or may not be darker than the color in container 1, but they should be the same color). If the color becomes like container 3, you can add small portions of vinegar.
        • Now have some fun. Make more containers of the cabbage juice and add different household substances to them (sugar, cleaning solutions, etc).

Assignment:

  1. What was observed when the saturated epsom salt reacted with the soapy water?
  2. What is the chemical formula of the substance in epsom salts? What is it reacting with?
  3. Write out the balanced chemical reaction for the reaction of the substance in epsom salts with the soapy water.
  4. What was observed when looking closely at the edge of the penny that was filed?
  5. The reaction with the penny was the zinc inside the penny with acetic acid (CH3COOH or CH3CO2H). The products are zinc acetate and hydrogen gas. Write out the balanced chemical reaction of zinc with acetic acid.
  6. The zinc/acetic acid reaction if a redox reaction. Assign oxidation number to the zinc (before and after it reacts), and the acidic hydrogen of acetic acid, and to hydrogen gas.
  7. Using all of these terms, oxidized, reduced, OIL, RIG, loses electrons, gains electron, reducing agent, and oxidizing agent. apply each the zinc reactant or to the acidic hydrogen of acetic acid.
  8. Describe the following:
    • Water and indicator
    • Water, indicator, vinegar
    • Water, indicator, baking soda solution
    • Vinegar, indicator, and changes as baking soda solution was added.
    • Your own investigations.
  9. You should have observed bubbling along with a color change when adding baking soda solution to the vinegar. Write the chemical reaction for the substance in baking soda that reacts with acetic acid in vinegar.

Deliverable 7 – Prepare for a Whooping Cough Outbreak

I don’t understand this Health & Medical question and need help to study.

Competencies

  • Apply major organizational perspectives and theories to real problems facing health services organizations.
  • Identify concepts in organizational decisions, strategic alliances, and managing efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Analyze decisions that impact the healthcare delivery system.
  • Analyze leadership challenges in healthcare.
  • Analyze operational decisions of healthcare organizations and the impact on business performance outcomes.
  • Apply principles of organizational learning, innovation, and change in healthcare organizations.

Introduction

Public health problems are diverse and can include infectious diseases, chronic diseases, emergencies, injuries, environmental health problems, as well as other health threats. The following project will allow you to demonstrate your ability and skill in applying major organizational healthcare theories, innovation, and change concepts that impact leaders and the decisions they make when facing operational challenges in the healthcare industry.

Scenario

Acting as the president of a local hospital in an economical and socially deprived county in the US, you have just received a phone call from the state’s CDC office advising the hospital of an outbreak of Whooping Cough. As of now, a majority of the state is being affected by the outbreak and resources are becoming scarce. Your hospital is the only medical center that serves the county. Based on trends and tracking, the CDC believes that your county in which can expect a major increase in patients in the next 48-72 hours with the disease. As the president of the 300-bed hospital which serves a diverse population of 50,000 citizens, it is the president’s responsibility to create a plan of action to help address and treat patients of the county who might become ill in the next 48-72 hours.

The first task you will undertake is to research the disease, its course of treatments, and cures to help effectively treat the potential outbreak. Once you have done so, you will create a presentation that you can give to the county board and CDC showing how your hospital will combat the disease, treat patients, and develop strategies to prevent the spread of the outbreak.

As the president, you will need to work with internal and external vendors on ensuring that the hospital has enough resources and that more resources can be ordered and delivered as quickly as possible. You will need to reach out to and gain assistance from other healthcare organizations in the area to help you track, treat, and control the spread of the disease. As the leader of the hospital, you will have to make decisions on how to properly manage the shortage of beds, doctors and nurses, and resources that may occur due to the outbreak.

Instructions

Create an executive summary addressing how best to successfully manage the problem outlined in the scenario. This plan has two parts. First is the executive summary followed by a PowerPoint presentation with audio.

Step 1 – Write an Executive Summary covering the following:

  • Develop an action plan to share with the hospital staff and CDC local office to address and contain the outbreak in an effective and efficient manner at the hospital.
  • Outline the process of developing alliances and partnerships to help treat and contain the outbreak through the use of efficient and effective approaches to the healthcare delivery systems.
  • Analyze the organizational decisions needed to be undertaken as a leader; that would play a part in addressing and containing the outbreak along with the use of limited resources.
  • Determine the best leadership style to use to effectively bring together multiple departments and agencies to work together as one team in containing and treating the outbreak.
  • Summarize innovative processes needed to address the outbreak given the shortage of resources and time to implement a strategy.
  • Outline any ethical considerations that should be addressed as part of the strategy in treating and containing the outbreak due to the shortage of resources such as money, manpower, and medicine.
  • Write a conclusion on the process changes needed to help improve reaction time and containment from the standpoint of the hospital.

Step 2 – Create a PowerPoint presentation with audio

As president of the hospital, you will need to create and record a 5-minute presentation using PowerPoint made up of at least 12 slides covering your findings and suggestions in dealing with the outbreak and containment of the disease. The presentation will be presented to local health officials including the officials from the counties identified by the CDC. Therefore the style of the presentation needs to be formal. You may use applications such as Screencast-O-Matic (research for tutorial videos if needed) to record your presentation.
