One of the most fascinating aspects of Chemistry is the ability to transform and exist in different states of aggregation, depending on temperature and pressure conditions. The phase diagram is a powerful tool that helps us visualize and understand these transitions. Consider a system with a pure substance that can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous states. Based on the provided phase diagram, answer the following questions: 1) Identify the triple point and explain its importance in the study of phase equilibria. 2) Describe the anomalous behavior of water based on its phase diagram and discuss the biological and environmental implications of this phenomenon. 3) Select a point on the diagram and justify, based on the phase equilibrium lines, in which state the substance would be if subjected to those temperature and pressure conditions.

A chemical reaction A + 2B -> C + D occurs in a system where the initial concentrations of A and B are, respectively, 0.1 mol/L and 0.2 mol/L. After a period of time, the concentration of A decreased to 0.05 mol/L. Considering that the reaction is first order with respect to A and second order with respect to B, determine the overall order of the reaction and explain how you reached this conclusion.

It is known that acetone is a type of ketone widely used as a solvent in the industry, mainly for the production of plastics, paints, and varnishes. Furthermore, studies show that its use can pose risks to human health and the environment. Considering the context, answer: a) Describe the general structure of a ketone and what sets it apart from other functional groups. b) Identify and explain some of the risks associated with exposure to acetone for health and the environment. c) Propose individual and collective measures that can be adopted to reduce the negative impacts caused by the responsible use and disposal of acetone.
