Consider the following experiments, and answer the questions pertaining to classification: a. A pure substance R is heated, cooled, put under pressure, and exposed to light but does not change into anything else. What can be said about classifying substance R as an element or a compound? Explain your reasoning. b. Upon heating, solid pure substance T gives off a gas and leaves another solid behind. What can be said about classifying substance T as an element or compound? Explain your reasoning c. What can be said about classifying the solid left in part b as an element or compound? Explain your reasoning.

1.21 When a scientist looks at an experiment and then predicts the results of other related experiments, which type of reasoning is she using? Explain your answer.
On the planet Xgnu, the most common units of length are the blim (for long distances) and the kryll (for shorter distances). Because the Xgnuese have 14 fingers, perhaps it is not surprising that 1400 kryll = 1 blim. Two cities on Xgnu are 36.2 bum apart. What is this distance in kryll? The average Xgnuese is 170 kryll tall. What is this height in bums? This hook is presently being used at Xgnu University. The area of the cover of this book is 72.5 square krylls. What is its area in square bums?
