- The Chemistry in Focus segment titled Dr. Ruth—cotton Hero discusses the enormous contribution of Dr. Ruth Rogan Benerito to the survival of the cotton fabric industry in the United States. In the discussion, it was mentioned that Dr. Benerito became a chemist when women were not expected to be interested in, or good at, scientific subjects. Has this attitude changed? Among your own friends, approximately how many of your female friends are studying a science? How many plan to pursue a career in science? Discuss.arrow_forward1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years. Eighty years ago it was 56 years. In your opinion, what was the major contributor to this spectacular increase in life expectancy? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSome scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward

O Chemistry that uses non-toxic, non-harmful chemicals.arrow_forwardThe Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method.

If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are physical changes? List all that apply.

- In an attempt to introduce some intrinsic motivation on why it is important for everyone to change their view of being required to take chemistry. Research how concepts in chemistry are involved in your chosen discipline and field of interest. Please do not focus on concepts in Basic Chemistry, investigate the connection between chemistry and the discipline and field you are interested in.arrow_forwardCaCl2 + Na2CO3 → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations: NH4NO3 + NaOH → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations: MgSO4 + NH4NO3 → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations: CuSO4 + NaOH → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations: HCl + Na2CO3 → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations: AgNO3 +CaCl2 → Theoretical Observations: Experimental Observations:arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.arrow_forward
