Answers for Everyday Chemistry Quick Quiz Questions

1. A DNA fingerprint is a pattern of DNA fragments that is unique to an individual.

2. Some advantages include: Criminals can avoid leaving fingerprints at a crime scene; DNA can be

extracted from many sources other than fingertips, such as hair, blood, sweat, saliva, etc.; only a small

sample of biological material is needed; DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify non-human animals

and other organisms; etc.



Solutions for Black-Numbered Unanswered Problems

2. (a) Microscopic, (b) particulate, (c) macroscopic

4. Chemists use models, physical, virtual, mental, or some combination thereof, to represent the invisible

particles that make up matter.

6. Ice consists of water molecules that vibrate or shake in fixed positions relative to one another. The ice

has a fixed shape. When the ice melts, the molecules remain together but move freely among each other at

the bottom of the container that holds them, assuming the shape of the container bottom. As a gas, the

molecules separate, moving freely throughout a closed container or escaping into the atmosphere from an

open container.

8. The particles in a solid occupy fixed positions relative to each other and cannot be poured, but different

macroscopic pieces of solids can move relative to each other. The slogan emphasizes that this brand of

table salt has solid pieces small enough to move freely relative to one another, but not so small that they

stick together in humid weather.

10. Liquid volume is usually about the same as solid; gas volume is very much larger than liquid or solid.

12. (a) Chemical, (b) physical, (c) physical

14. (a) Chemical, (b) chemical, (c) physical

16. The change is chemical because the diatomic reactant molecules are transformed into monatomic

atoms.

18. If both products are the same pure substance, they must be identical; thus, purchasing the half-priced

product is the better choice.

20. The photograph alone does not provide enough information to answer the question. You may know,

however, that dishwashing liquid is a mixture of water, detergent, and numerous other substances.

22. All are mixtures.

24. The object in (a) is a mixture because different substances are visible; (b) could be a pure substance in

two different states, but it is probably a mixture; (c) could be either a pure substance or a mixture because it

may be one kind of matter or two or more types of matter with similar appearances.

26. Yes—the terms homogeneous and heterogeneous refer to the macroscopic appearance and composition

of a sample. A container filled with liquid distilled water and ice made from it is heterogeneous in

appearance but is also pure, as long as in both phases the water is pure.

28. (a) Homogeneous, (b) heterogeneous, (c) homogeneous

30. The cylinder appears the same throughout, and it can be assumed that the percentage of each element is

constant throughout, so it is a homogeneous substance.

32. Your sketch should include two or more different types of particles mixed together (a mixture), evenly

distributed in the same phase of matter (so that it will appear homogeneous at the macroscopic level). Refer

to Figure 2.17.

34. Pick out plastic table tennis balls or steel bearing balls based on size and appearance; use magnetic

properties of steel to pick up bearing balls with a magnet; use the lower density of plastic and higher

density of steel to float the table tennis balls in water. These methods are based on physical properties.

36. Place the mixture in water. Salt will dissolve and sand will not. Filter out the sand. Evaporate the water

to obtain pure salt. Dissolving and recrystallizing the salt is a physical change because the salt did not

undergo a chemical change (you can taste the salt dissolved in the water, so it is still salt).

38. (a) Compound, (b) element, (c) element

40. (a) Element, (b) compound, (c) element

42. (a) Element, (b) neither element nor compound (not pure), (c) compound, (d) element, (e) element

44. (a) (1) Compound, (2) element, (3) elements, (4) compound, (5) compound. (b) In general, if there are

two or more words in the name, the substance is a compound. However, many compounds are known by
