GENERIC NAME: enalapril. DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Enalapril is a drug that is used for treating high blood pressure. It is in a class of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE is an enzyme in the body that causes the formation of angiotensin II.
RECOMMENDED LESSONS: Chemical energy. Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by product (exothermic reaction) . Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy.
molecules are dislodged due to the breaking of bonds. - The energy to break these bonds is known as the heat of vaporization. - Higher heat of vaporization = higher boiling point! Key point to keep in mind: STRONGER bonds, attractions, and/or forces in a molecule =. HIGHER boiling point for that molecule.
