AI Thread Summary
Food, especially fatty foods, significantly slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. This occurs because food creates a barrier in the stomach, delaying the passage of alcohol to the small intestine where absorption primarily takes place. The presence of food also stimulates the production of gastric juices, which can further slow down the absorption process. Understanding this mechanism is essential for grasping how food impacts alcohol effects. The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering dietary factors when consuming alcohol.

Food slows down the absorption of alchohol??

1. The presence of food in the stomach, particularly fats, greatly slows down the absorption of alchohol and drugs into the body. This what I've read in a report on the internet, but I don't know the reason why the rate of absorption slows down. Can anyone tell me the reason?



2.



3. Thanks in advance. This is only a question which I want to figure out the reason.

Googi, we can only help you if you show us that you have put some thought/effort into answering the question yourself. Do you have any thoughts/ideas, why the absorption rate depends strongly on the presence of food?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
