Textbook Question
Chapter 2.2, Problem 2.4YT
The air is different in a pine forest, a bakery, an Italian restaurant, and a dairy barn. Blindfolded, you could smell the difference. Our noses alert us to the fact that air contains trace quantities of many substances.
- a. Name three indoor and three outdoor smells that indicate small quantities of chemicals are present in the air.
- b. Our noses warn us to avoid certain things. Give three examples of when a smell indicates a hazard or something to be avoided.

It’s because they produce copious amounts of oils from their uropygial glands and spread it across their feathers. In this exercise, we’ll be investigating the molecular structure of one of these preen oils to determine how it keeps ducks dry. Q.5 - Preen oil is actually a complicated mixture of many different organic compounds, such as the structure seen previously.. Ornithologists have determined that birds often use preen oil compounds for scent recognition. Below, several different chemicals isolated from preen oil are shown, along with their vapor pressures at room temperature. p-cymene has the highest vapor pressure, meaning it is the most easily evaporated compound of the three listed. Explain why p-cymene has a higher vapor pressure at room temperature compared to the other compounds. Make sure to explain what holds the p-cymene in the sample.

Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forward
