How do you distinguish (a) chemical properties from physical properties? (b) distillation from filtration? (c) a solute from a solution?
A solution made by dissolving sugar in water is homogeneous because the composition is the same everywhere. But if you could look with very high magnification, you would see locations with water particles and other locations with particles of sugar. How can we say that a sugar solution is homogenous?

Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.
You want to produce a 50 g sample of glucose by evaporating to dryness a quantity of glucose solution containing 8% glucose by mass. The density of the glucose solution is 1.15 g/mL. What volume of glucose solution, in liters, must be taken for this purpose?
The diameter of a copper (Cu) atom is roughly 1.3 x10-10 m. How many times can you divide evenly apiece of 10-cm copper wire until it is reduced to twoseparate copper atoms? (Assume there are appropriate tools for this procedure and that copper atoms arelined up in a straight line, in contact with each other.)Round off your answer to an integer.
An engineer is working with archaeologists to create a realistic Roman village in a museum. The plan for a balancein a marketplace calls for 100 granite stones, each weighing 10 denarium. (The denarium was a Roman unit of mass:1 denarium = 3.396 g.) The manufacturing process for making the stones will remove 20% of the material. If the graniteto be used has a density of 2.75 g/cm3, what is the minimumvolume of granite that the engineer should order?
Sodium and potassium are both shiny metals in pure form, but corrode rapidly in the presence of oxygen and humidity to form compounds. Does this fact describe a physical or chemical property of these two metals?
