1 a) can’t be done

1 b) Alkane and alcohol

1 c) 400*4.19*88 = 147488/1000 = 147.488/30 = 4.916 moles of ethanol

1 d) 1g of ethanol makes 30Kj and butane produces 49.603 Kj, so I believe that butane would be the
better fuel source

2)

A Property 1 Property 2
Aluminum malleable ductile
carbon High strength to weight ratio Poor conductor

2 a) aluminum is malleable and ductile

Carbon isn’t a conductor

2 b) scandium is a good conductor, reacts with air, water and easily combusts.

2 c) the yield strength of the alloys increases

3 a) orange, red and green

3 b) Exothermic, because it gives off energy as heat.

3 c) Copper chloride

3 d) isotopes have different number of neutrons but the same number of protons.

4 a) The helium balloon will deflate faster because it has smaller molecules than the ones in the air.

4 c) The bag will increase in size, because due to the increase in altitude, the pressure will lower.

6 a) Electrons

6 b) The electrons will not be able to move without the presence of an electrolyte.

8 a) as the copper concentration increases, the copper’s cell voltage will also increase

8 b) the color will not be that vibrant, due to the fact that the concentration of the copper is less.
