a. Propane, C3H8
b. Pentane, C5H12
32. -ane implies that hexane is an alkane.
33. Yes, each of these molecules are isomers of one another. They are composed of the same number of atoms, they are just arranged differently.
34. See drawing
35. Butane is the shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism because it has four carbon atoms.
36. Both representations are correct because although their atoms are in different arrangements, the molecular formulas are the same. The molecules would be structural isomers of each other.
37.
a. See drawing
b. The straighter the chain, the higher the boiling point. Thus, the branched chain molecule would have a lower boiling point.
38. A short straight chain, and a short branched chain would have a lower boiling point, because the shorter the chain, the lower the boiling point. The short branched chain would have a lower boiling point than a long straight chain because straight chains have a stronger intermolecular force which causes a higher boiling point than branched chains.
1. Petroleum is sometimes cosidered "buried sunshine" because as a fossil fuel, it originates from biomolecules of prehistoric plants and animals. The energy released by burning petroleum represents energy originally captured from sunlight by these prehistoric green plants during photosynthesis; "buried sunshine".
2.
a. Potential energy is energy of position, or stored energy, which is ready to be released. An example of potential energy is the energy within a skate board on top of a hill.
b. Kinetic energy is energy related to motion. The skateboard going down the hill represents kinetic energy.
3. Chemical energy, another form of potential energy, is stored within the bonds in chemical compounds. When an energy-releasing reaction takes place, the bonds break and reactant atoms reorganize to form new bonds and release energy. If more energy is released than originally started with, the reaction is exothermic, but if less energy is released than originally started with, the reaction is endothermic.

1. Because infrared radiation is mostly heat energy, exposure to it is not as harmful as exposure to ultraviolet light, which is the most energetic form of sun radiation. Ultraviolet light can cause sunburns and skin cancer and can even sterilize materials by killing bacteria and destroying viruses (UV-C radiation).
2. Visible solar radiation provides the energy needed for photosynthesis and the visible scattering of light during sunset.
3. Since there is less water vapor, and therefore, less greenhouse gas caused by water vapor in dry and arid regions such as New Mexico and Arizona, infrared radiation is not as stored and reradiated and reflected back into the atmosphere from the entering of UV and visible light that is transformed into IR radiation in clouds, but the visible and UV radiation directly exposed to the surface of the earth is used to heat earth. This results in wider air-temperature fluctuations from night to day than states with more humid conditions, for not as much heat is stored in the clouds.
4.
a. The daytime temperatures would be much cooler, because with less greenhouse gases, less infrared radiation would be stored and reradiated and reflected back into the atmosphere from the transformation of UV and visible radiation to IR radiation in clouds. Less stored heat energy would enter throughout the day.
b. Without stored heat energy in the atmosphere, nights would be very cold without the presence of the sun.

b. The Middle East, Africa, and Central and South America consume a smaller proportion of the world’s supply of petroleum than they possess.
12. Density can be used to separate two different liquids if the substances are insoluble with each other.
13. Water and acetone would be the easiest to separate from each other by distillation. This is because since water has the highest boiling point, and acetone has the lowest of the four substances, water and acetone would separate fairly quickly and easily by distillation.
15)
16. Fractional distillation does not separate each compound in crude oil, but produces several distinctive mixtures, called fractions. Fractional distillation is also a continuous process. The crude oil is heated in a furnace and then pumped into the fractionating tower. The temperature within the tower (distilling column) is highest at the bottom and decreases towards the top. Smaller and lighter molecules that have lower boiling points vaporize to the top of the tower, and fractions with larger molecules with higher boiling points condense back to liquid in trays in the lower part of the column. Substances with the highest boiling points never vaporize, but drain from the base—bottoms.

Homework 7/21/13
1. The frequency of electromagnetic radiation/photons and energy are directly proportional because the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation/photons and energy are inversely proportional.
2. Spectrum is a good descriptor of the types of energy found in electromagnetic radiation because the spectrum shows the range of energy from high to low.
3. Visible light is useful in plant photosynthesis because visible radiation can energize electrons in some chemical bonds which provides energy needed for photosynthesis reactions.
4.
a. Infrared, visible, ultraviolet
b. Infrared radiation is essentially heat energy, which warms living things. Visible radiation can energize electrons in chemical bonds. Although ultraviolet radiation can cause sunburns, skin cancer, and can kill bacteria and destroy viruses, it is necessary for humans in some amounts, for exposure to it results in the production of vitamin D.
5. UV-C photons have enough energy to break covalent bonds, and therefore, lead to chemical changes in the materials exposed to radiation; UV-C radiation can kill bacteria and destroy viruses, as it can damage other living organisms.
6. Two natural major greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb infrared radiation and reradiate the energy back to earth. On a clear day, 90% of visible radiation directed towards earth travels to Earth's surface. UV-C radiation is absorbed in the stratosphere before reaching earth's surface and most UV-A and UV-B radiation us absorbed by the stratospheric ozone layer (and does not reach the earth's surface).
7. When more greenhouse gases are produced, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, more infrared radiation is absorbed. This results in more energy reradiated on earth's surface, hotter water affecting the hydrologic cycle (more water vapor produced), and an overall hotter earth.
8.
a. An asphalt, such as snow, sand, or concrete, warms up more quickly when exposed to sunlight. This is because when solar radiation strikes these materials, it is reflected and illuminated back into space. On the other hand, lake water does reflect light, but also stores absorbs and stores heat.
b. Water, in forms like water vapor, act as greenhouse gases and absorb infrared light and reradiate it back to earth's surface. Asphalts directly reflect light sources back into space.
14. This infrared radiation is not directly from the sun, but is the product of transformed UV and visible radiation from the sun within the clouds. Infrared radiation is essentially heat energy, that these greenhouse gases have made from trapping UV and visible light in order to absorb, reradiate, and reflect the heat energy onto earth's surface.
15.
a.
Natural: 1. breathing; 2. bacterial decay.
Human: 1. agricultural and industrial activities; 2. burning of fossil fuels.
b.
Natural: 1. decomposition of plants; 2. decomposition of animal wastes
Human: 1. Refining fossil fuels; 2. raising of livestock.
16.
a. lower altitude, increase in greenhouse/atmospheric gases, higher air pressure.
b. higher altitude, decrease in greenhouse/atmospheric gases, lower air pressure.
b. higher altitude, decrease in greenhouse/atmospheric gases, lower air pressure.
17. What goes on in greenhouse with transparent glass imitates the way the greenhouse gases transform UV and visible radiation to IR radiation within clouds, and reradiate and reflect the heat energy within earth, or the greenhouse (since the infrared light cannot escape through the glass, like earth's CO2 and H2O gas that act as a shield). This is why on a sunny winter day, a greenhouse with transparent glass walls is much warmer than is a structure with opaque wooden walls.
18.
19. Three chemical reservoirs of carbon atoms include atmospheric CO2 gas, solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in limestone, and organic molecules.
20. Carbon naturally moves within Earth's systems. The carbon atom could be part of the atmosphere as a gas as a result of photosynthesis, in the lithosphere as plant or animal waste decay, or part of the hydrosphere as limestone.

Relative Reactivities of Metal Lab Report
Group Lithium: Nina, Nicolette, and Makena
It's no myth, just call us Lith
Results:
Questions:
1. The metal that reacted with the most solutions is magnesium.
2. The metal that reacted with the fewest solutions is copper.
3. Silver would react with all of the solutions because they all have a higher reactivity than silver.
4. Most reactive to least reactive: Magnesium, Zinc, Copper.
5. The penny's outside surface is made out of copper instead of zinc, because copper is less reactive than zinc.
6.
a. Silver could also be used for the ouside surface because it is the least reactive.
b. Silver is not used on the outside surface of the penny because it is very expensive.
7.
a. Silver is most likely to be found in a free metallic state in nature because it is not reactive.
b. Magnesium is least likely to be found in a free metallic state is nature because it is very reactive.
8.
a. Magnesium nitrate and zinc nitrate could have been eliminated.
b. Those nitrates could have been eliminated because there was no reaction with the metals.

Homework 7/14/13
9. Active metals are more difficult to process and refine than are less active metals because active metals are more reactive; therefore, they have the ability to combine and form compounds with other elements. On the other hand, since less active metals are less reactive, they are less difficult to process and refine which is why gold and silver were excellent materials for decorative and useful objects.
10. Silver would be the easiest to process because of it's lack of reactivity.
11. Most metals exist in nature as minerals rather than pure metallic elements, because since most metals are reactive, they combine with other elements to form compounds, or minerals.
12. A reaction between calcium metal with chromium (III) chloride is more likely to occur because calcium is more reactive than chromium chloride and because it is more reactive, it would cause a reaction.
13. Equation A represents a reaction that is more likely to occur because zinc is more reactive than silver, so that would cause a reaction.
14.
a. Stirring a solution of lead (II) nitrate with an iron spoon would cause a reactive, since iron is more reactive than lead.
b.Pb^2+ + Fe ---> Pb + Fe^2+
15. Oxidation is the loss of one more more electrons that causes a metal to become a cation or aqueous solution. Reduction is the gain of one more more electrons that causes a cation/aqueous solution to balance its electrical charge and become a metal.
16.

20.
a. Al + Cr^3+ ---> Al^3+ + Cr
b. Mn^2+ + Mg ---> Mn + Mg^2+
21.
a. Electrometallurgy is the use of an electrical current to supply electrons to metal ions, this reducing them.
b. Pyrometallurgy is the treatment of metals and their ores with heat (thermal energy), as in a blast furnace. Carbon (coke) and carbon monoxide are common reducing agents, for they provide electrons, thus reducing the metal ions.
c. Hydrometallurgy is the treatment of ores and other metal-containing materials with reactants in water solution. It is used to recover silver and gold from old mine tailings by a process known as leaching.
