Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature? Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample B have a higher average speed than the particles in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Chuck's phenotype for the coat pattern trait? Solution: You need to determine Chuck's phenotype for the coat pattern trait. First, consider the alleles in Chuck's genotype for the coat pattern gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for solid coloring (A) is dominant over the allele for white spots (a). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele. Chuck's genotype of Aa has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Chuck's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be solid coloring.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence. Making whipped cream is a (). Solution: Making whipped cream is a physical change. Whipped cream is a mixture of cream and air. But making a mixture does not form a different type of matter. As cream is whipped, its molecules begin to stick together. But the bonds between the atoms in the molecules do not change. Air gets trapped between the molecules in the cream. This makes the cream fluffy.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the elementary substance. Solution: Look at the chemical formula for each substance, and count the number of symbols in the formula. Then, decide if the substance is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide contains two symbols: S for sulfur and O for oxygen. So, sulfur dioxide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, sulfur dioxide is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for radon contains one symbol: Rn. So, radon is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, radon is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for chloromethanol contains four symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, Cl for chlorine, and O for oxygen. So, chloromethanol is made of four chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, chloromethanol is a compound, not an elementary substance.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? cutting a piece of rope water evaporating from a puddle Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Cutting a piece of rope is a physical change. The rope is shorter after you cut it. But it is still made of the same type of matter as the uncut rope. Water evaporating from a puddle is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The liquid changes into a gas, but a different type of matter is not formed. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Water evaporating is caused by heating. But cutting a piece of rope is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? a piece of pear turning brown acid rain weathering a marble statue Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. A piece of a pear turning brown is a chemical change. The substances in the pear react with oxygen in the air and turn into a different type of matter. If you scrape off the brown part of the pear, the inside will still be white. The inside hasn't touched the air. So the chemical change hasn't happened to that part of the pear. Acid rain weathering a marble statue is a chemical change. The acid rain reacts with the outside of the statue and breaks it down into a different type of matter. This new matter is then washed away by the rain. Acid rain is a type of pollution. It forms when smoke from automobiles and factories mixes with water in clouds. Acid rain is a type of pollution. It forms when automobiles and factories release smoke containing sulfur or nitrogen. Some of these chemicals react with water in the atmosphere. The reaction forms droplets of water that can fall back to the ground as acid rain. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence. The Alpine Fault formed at a () boundary. Solution: To figure out what type of plate boundary formed the Alpine Fault, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully. The Alpine Fault runs the length of New Zealand’s South Island, marking a boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As the two plates slide past each other, the Pacific Plate is being pushed up higher than the Indo-Australian Plate. So, the mountains above the Pacific Plate have higher elevations than the mountains above the Indo-Australian Plate. In the picture, you can see snow on the high mountains of the Pacific Plate. The Indo-Australian Plate, which is at a lower elevation, has much less snow. The underlined part of the passage explains that the two plates are sliding past each other. So, the Alpine Fault formed at a transform boundary.
