#7:
Being thirsty by the ocean and not having fresh water with you.

A carbon dioxide starts in the atmosphere and moves to the biosphere to be altered by a plant.  Then, the plant decays into the ground and seeps into water below the surface of the Earth, ending up in the ocean.

#19:
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2, C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O

#20:
a. Increase of H2O increases with CO2 as more respiration occurs
b. It would counteract the predicted behavior of global warming because the water vapor would cool the air, but still not Earth's temperature.


Unit 3 Section C Summary HW Problems Pt. 2

Viscosity is the term for resistance to flow.  Petroleum is a substance with high viscosity, meaning that, like honey, it flows slowly and with difficulty.  Crude oil is the term used for petroleum that is pumped from underground.  Refined petroleum is a mix of hydrocarbons.  Hydrocarbons are molecular compounds that contain only atoms of the elements hydrogen and carbon.  Petroleum is mostly used as fuel, but its other uses as a raw material include: being in CDs, sports equipment, clothing, automobile parts, plastic charge cards, and carpeting.  Dude, petroleum is pretty cool.

#15:
Sustainability preserves the ability of future generations to thrive and meet their resource needs on a habitable Earth.

#18:
a. reusing
b. recycling
c. reusing

#19:
The life cycle of a lightbulb would differ from the life cycle of a newspaper, because once a lightbulb has burnt out there is virtually no use for it anymore.  However, newspaper can be shredded down for compost, used to wrap presents, used to lay down on a table to protect from art project, folded up to create art, or used for packing to protect the stuff inside.

#20:
A law enacted by the government can be broken or changed, while a scientific law is fact and cannot be broken.

Chemical and Physical Properties in Baking Chocolate-Chip Cookies



#1: Mix the flour with the sugar in a big bowl.
    
#2: Add brown sugar.
#3: Add vanilla extract.
#4: Crack two large eggs into the bowl.
Step 1-4: Physical Changes
Because the different substances are mixed together, but not chemically combined, steps 1-4 are physical changes.

#5: Mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon.
Step 5: Physical Change
Although the ingredients are mixed together and hard to tell apart from one another, a chemical change that alters the chemical makeup of the ingredients has not occurred.

#6: Add two sticks of butter.
#7: Mix the butter in with the other ingredients.
#8: Once the butter has been completely blended in with the original mixture, add chocolate chips.
Steps 6-8: Physical Changes (Still, Madison?  Really?  Is this even a project?)
Again, since the ingredients are merely mixed together, not combined chemically, they go through a physical change.

#9:  Place the cookies on a tray and put them in the oven at 375 degrees.
#10: Let them bake for 7-8 mins.  When they're brown around the edges, take them out and let them cool.
Step 10: CHEMICAL CHANGE (FINALLY)
Baking the cookies is a chemical change because the CO2 causes the dough to rise, and creates the porous texture on the underside of the cookies.

An alloy is a combination of atoms involving two or more metals.  Making an alloy can help strengthen metals by mixing them with other elements with better qualities.  For example, a niobium and tin alloy is superconductive.  Superconductivity means that the alloy has the ability to conduct an electric current without any electrical resistance.  Making alloys can be useful on the macroscopic level to help the sustainability level of future generations.  Sustainability preserves the ability of future generations to thrive and meet their resource needs on a habitable Earth.  Renewable resources like water, air, soil, plants, and animals can be maintained indefinitely, and nonrenewable resources, such as metals, natural gas, coal, and petroleum, cannot be readily replenished.  The four Rs (rethinking, reusing, reducing, and recycling) help us to better the future for later generations and use the least amount of resources we can, effectively.
