You have two beakers. One contains pure water, the other contains pure methanol (wood alcohol).
The covalent bonds of methanol molecules are nonpolar, so there are no hydrogen bonds among methanol
molecules. You pour crystals of table salt (NaCl) into each beaker. Predict what will happen.
A) Equal amounts of NaCl crystals will dissolve in both water and methanol.
B) NaCl crystals will NOT dissolve in either water or methanol.
C) NaCl crystals will dissolve readily in water but will not dissolve in methanol.
D) NaCl crystals will dissolve readily in methanol but will not dissolve in water.
E) When the first crystals of NaCl are added to water or to methanol, they will not dissolve; but
as more crystals are added, the crystals will begin to dissolve faster and faster.
Several substances found in nature or within living organisms themselves are essential to the life. Thus, for each of the following substances, please give a concrete example briefly describing how their properties make them essential to life.
A) Acid (pH below 7)
B) Lipid
Many consumer products are almost identical in chemical composition but are sold under different brand names and at varying prices. Should some medical drugs be identified by their chemical (generic) names or trade names? Why?

- You're an undercover biological weapons agent who has been given an unknown liquid. One of the tests you need to run is to see if it contains protein (remember, foreign proteins can cause severe immune responses which can be a powerful biological weapon). You set up 3 test tubes each with 10mL of the following: distilled water, gelatin solution and the unknown. The distilled water is clear, the gelatin solution is clear with a beige tint, and the unknown is cloudy white. You use Biuret's Reagent - a dark blue dye which will turn a liquid sample purple in the presence of protein. When Biuret's Reagen is added to the gelatin, predict what color you expect it to become: [a] (no change | blue | purple).
