Real-World Chemistry 1. Suppose you wanted to ship bananas from Puerto Rico to New York and the time required for shipment was 8 days. Will you choose to ship ripe bananas or green bananas? Why? 2. You may have heard the saying "One bad apple will spoil the whole barrel." Based on the results of your experiment, do you think the statement may be true? Why?

Confronted with the box shown in the diagram, you wish to discover something about its internal workings. You have no tools and cannot open the box. You pull on rope B, and it moves rather freely. When you pull on rope A, rope C appears to be pulled slightly into the box. When you pull on rope C, rope A almost disappears into the box. a. Based on these observations, construct a model for the interior mechanism of the box. b. What further experiments could you do to refine your model?
If the combination of iron filings and sulfur in Question 25 is heated strongly, the iron reacts with the sulfur to form a solid that is no longer attracted by the magnet. Would this still represent a “mixture”? Why or why not?
As part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown. You set up a device that counts the ears passing through this intersection for a 24-hr period during a weekday. The graph of hourly traffic looks like this. a. At what time(s) does the highest number of cars pass through die intersection? b. At what time(s) does the lowest number of cars pass through die intersection? c. Briefly describe the trend in numbers of cars over the course of die day. d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day. e. Provide a possible experiment that could test your hypothesis.
1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years. Eighty years ago it was 56 years. In your opinion, what was the major contributor to this spectacular increase in life expectancy? Explain your answer.
The Chemistry in Focus segment titled Dr. Ruth—cotton Hero discusses the enormous contribution of Dr. Ruth Rogan Benerito to the survival of the cotton fabric industry in the United States. In the discussion, it was mentioned that Dr. Benerito became a chemist when women were not expected to be interested in, or good at, scientific subjects. Has this attitude changed? Among your own friends, approximately how many of your female friends are studying a science? How many plan to pursue a career in science? Discuss.
3. Carefully put an egg in a glass half filled with vinegar. Replace the vinegar on the second day. Place the covered glass with the vinegar and egg in a safe place for one week without disturbing it. After one week, pass a light through the egg using a flashlight. N.B. DO NOT BOIL AND EAT THE EGG. A. Results and observation. Equation: HC2H3O2 + CaCO3 calcium acetate + H20 + carbon dioxide B. Calculation: If 9.02 x 1024 particles of vinegar (HC2H3O2)HC2H3O2) is added to 16.5 moles of eggshell (CaCO3) and 6.35 moles g of calcium acetate is formed. What are the (a) theoretical yield, (b) actual yield and (c) percent yield
The plot below from your book does NOT have data for ammonia. 1.0 T2.00 T1.50 0.8 T-1.20 0.6 T1.10 0.4 • Nitrogen * Methane a Ethane o Ethylene - Propane an-Butane - Isopentane n-Heptane . Carbon dioxide *Water 0.2 T=1.00 0.0 4. PR However, you can use this plot (an example of the law of corresponding states) to calculate the molar volume (V) of ammonia at a temperature and pressure of interest. What information do you need in order to do this? O The critical temperature and pressure for ammonia. The standard molar Gibbs energy for ammonia. O The normal boiling point for ammonia. O The vibrational spacing in ammonia.

4. If the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another, why do scientists worry about running out of energy in the future?
Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. • Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. • Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a 500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker, and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g. pure substance Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture? If the description of the…
