increased in the atmosphere.
The use of CFCs continued to increase.

7. Evaluate why it was important for Dobsons
data to be confirmed by satellite photos.
All scientific hypotheses, tests, experiments, and data must be independently co
nfirmed to make them valid.
1. Explain why the study of chemistry should be
important to everyone.
Chemistry is the study of matter and everything and everyone is made of matter.
2. Define substance and give two examples of
Section 1.2 Chemistry and Matter

things that are substances.
A substance, which is also known as a chemical, is matter that has a definite co
mposition. Possible examples: table salt (NaCl) and table sugar (sucrose, C12H22
O11)
Section 1.2 Assessment

8. Explain why there are different branches of
chemistry.
The study of chemistry is a very broad field, so chemists specialize in small ar
eas.
3. Describe how the ozone layer forms and why
it is important.
When oxygen gas (O2) is exposed to ultraviolet radiation in the upper regions of
the stratosphere, the molecule breaks apart. The individual oxygen particles (O
) combine with other oxygen gas molecules to form ozone (O3). Ozone is important
because it forms a protective layer in the atmosphere that protects living orga
nisms from harmful radiation.
9. Explain why scientists use mass instead of

Mass is constant regardless of location and is not affected by gravity. Weight v

oped and how they are used.
Chlorofluorocarbons were developed as a safe alternative to ammonia, a common re
frigerant. Chlorofluorocarbons are used as refrigerants, in foams, and as propel
lants in spray cans.
11. Infer why chemists use models to study submicroscopic matter.
Models enable chemists to understand difficult concepts that they cannot normall
y see.
5. Explain If cells have the ability to repair
themselves after exposure to UVB, why are the increasing levels of UVB in the at
mosphere concerning scientists?
Cells have some ability to repair themselves, but some scientists believe that c
ells have a limit in the amount of UVB exposure that can be tolerated.
12. Identify three different models that scientists
use and explain why each model is useful.
Possible answers: Aircraft models allow scientists to test their designs before
money is spent on the actual aircraft. Computer models of chemical processes all
ow chemists to test processes before actual manufacturing facilities are built.
Car models allow scientists to test certain features, such as wind resistance, b
efore a car is actually built. Chemistry: Matter and Change Chapter 1

sure. Should this be called Charless law or Charless theory? Explain.
It is called Charless law because it describes a phenomenon that consistently tak
es place.
14. Evaluate If you put a scale in an elevator and
weigh yourself as you ascend and then descend, does the scale have the same read
ing in both instances? Explain your answer.
As the elevator moves up and down at constant velocity, the reading on the scale
will be the same as it is when the elevator is stationary. However, during the
time the elevator accelerates upward, the scale reading will be higher, during t
he time when the elevator accelerates downward, the scale reading will be lower.
19. Explain Good scientific models can be tested
and used to make predictions. What did Molina and Rowlands model of the interacti
ons of CFCs and ozone in the atmosphere predict would happen to the amount of oz
one in the stratosphere as the level of CFCs increased?
Their models predicted that as CFC concentrations increased, ozone levels would
decrease.

Mastering Concepts 39. How does qualitative data differ from quantitative data?
Give an example of each.
Qualitative data, such as color or shape, are made with the five senses. Quantit

34. Which measurement depends on gravitational
forcemass or weight? Explain.
Weight; weight is calculated using the acceleration due to gravity; mass is inde

A control is a standard used for comparison.

Analytical chemistry studies the composition of substances; environmental chemis

for analyzing data.
Often, trends in data are not easily seen when the data is presented in a table.

69. Candy Making The directions in the candy
recipe for pralines instruct the cook to remove the pot containing the candy mix
ture from the heat when the candy mixture reaches the softball stage. The soft-b
all stage corresponds to a temperature of 236F. After the soft-ball stage is reac
hed, the pecans and vanilla are added. Can a Celsius thermometer with a range of
10C to 110C be used to determine when the soft-ball stage is reached in the candy
mixture?

75. When converting from meters to centimeters,
how do you decide which values to place in the numerator and denominator of the
conversion factor?
Meters will be in the denominator so that the units will cancel when the startin
g value is multiplied by the conversion factor.
No, the Celsius thermometer could not be used to make this candy because the tem
perature is out of the thermometers range.

116. Compare and Contrast What advantages
do SI units have over the units commonly used in the United States? Are there an
y disadvantage to using SI units?
Answers will vary but might include that units based on powers of ten are easy t
o convert from one to another. Most disadvantages involve the initial changing f
rom another system to SI.

118. Infer Why does knowing the mass of an
object not help you identify what material the object is made from?
Mass itself has no meaning without a measurement of its volume. If the object is
a pure substance and its mass and volume are known, its density can help identi
fy it.

119. Conclude Why might property owners hire
a surveyor to determine property boundaries rather than measure the boundaries t

Surveyors use equipment that is not affected by terrain or obstacles.

Challenge Problem 122. Carboplatin (C6H12N2O4Pt) is a platinumcontaining compoun
d that is used to treat certain forms of cancer. This compound contains 52.5% pl
atinum. If the price for platinum is $1047/troy ounce, what is the cost of the p
latinum in 2.00 g of this compound? A troy ounce is equal to 480 grains, and one
grain is equal to 64.8 mg.
125. Units Research and report on unusual units of

Ocean depth (m)
kilogram is stored at constant temperature and humidity, unwanted matter can bui
ld up on its surface. Scientists have been looking for a more reliable standard
for mass. Research and describe alternative standards that have been proposed. F

ind out why no alternative standard has been chosen.

Two alternative methods of defining the standard kilogram would base the unit on
the Avogadro constant, which is the number of atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon12. One method would depend in part on X-ray measurements in silicon crystals. A
nother method would depend on electrical measurements that determine the ratio o
f the mechanical watt to the electrical watt. At this time, scientists have not
gained universal acceptance for either alternative method.

The temperature is fairly stable through the first 200 meters then decreased rap

increases. Below 1000 m the density of the ocean remains constant with a slight
decrease in temperature.
