1: Essential Ideas
1.1: Chemistry in Context
1. Explain how you could experimentally determine whether the outside temperature is higher or
lower than 0 C (32 F) without using a thermometer.
Solution
Place a glass of water outside. It will freeze if the temperature is below 0 C.
2. Identify each of the following statements as being most similar to a hypothesis, a law, or a
theory. Explain your reasoning.
(a) Falling barometric pressure precedes the onset of bad weather.
(b) All life on earth has evolved from a common, primitive organism through the process of
natural selection.
(c) My truck’s gas mileage has dropped significantly, probably because it’s due for a tune-up.
Solution
(a) law (states a consistently observed phenomenon, can be used for prediction); (b) theory (a
widely accepted explanation of the origin of species); (c) hypothesis (a tentative explanation, can
be investigated by experimentation)
3. Identify each of the following statements as being most similar to a hypothesis, a law, or a
theory. Explain your reasoning.
(a) The pressure of a sample of gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
(b) Matter consists of tiny particles that can combine in specific ratios to form substances with
specific properties.
(c) At a higher temperature, solids (such as salt or sugar) will dissolve better in water.
Solution
(a) law (states a consistently observed phenomenon, can be used for prediction); (b) theory (a
widely accepted explanation of the behavior of matter); (c) hypothesis (a tentative explanation,
can be investigated by experimentation)
4. Identify each of the underlined items as a part of either the macroscopic domain, the
microscopic domain, or the symbolic domain of chemistry. For any in the symbolic domain,
indicate whether they are symbols for a macroscopic or a microscopic feature.
(a) The mass of a lead pipe is 14 lb.
(b) The mass of a certain chlorine atom is 35 amu.
(c) A bottle with a label that reads Al contains aluminum metal.
(d) Al is the symbol for an aluminum atom.
Solution
(a) macroscopic; (b) microscopic; (c) symbolic, macroscopic; (d) symbolic, microscopic
5. Identify each of the underlined items as a part of either the macroscopic domain, the
microscopic domain, or the symbolic domain of chemistry. For those in the symbolic domain,
indicate whether they are symbols for a macroscopic or a microscopic feature.
(a) A certain molecule contains one H atom and one Cl atom.
(b) Copper wire has a density of about 8 g/cm3.
(c) The bottle contains 15 grams of Ni powder.
(d) A sulfur molecule is composed of eight sulfur atoms.
Solution
(a) symbolic, microscopic; (b) macroscopic; (c) symbolic, macroscopic; (d) microscopic
