Chapter 2Development and Classification1. The chapter identifies seven economic, sociohistorical, and institutional factors believed to influence accounting development. Explain how each one affects accounting practice.a)Sources of finance. Where capital markets/shareholders are theprincipal source of finance, accounting focuses on profitability,stewardship, and a fair presentation of results and financial position.There are high levels of disclosure in published financialstatements. When banks are the principal source of finance,accounting tends to be conservative and disclosures are usuallyrelatively low (banks have direct access to information). Whengovernments are the principal source of finance, accounting isaimed at the information needs of government agencies such as taxcollection, assembling macroeconomic statistics, or compliancewith macroeconomic goals.b)Legal system. Accounting in code law countries tends to behighly prescriptive, detailed, and procedural, designed to coverevery possible circumstance. Accounting standards are a part ofnational laws. Accounting in common law countries is moreadaptive and innovative and tends to allow more judgment to suitthe circumstance. Accounting standards are set in the privatesector.c)Taxation. This tends to parallel the legal system. In common lawcountries (where accounting standards are set by the accountingprofession), accounting and taxation are separate. In code lawcountries (where accounting standards are national laws),accounting and taxation are essentially the same.d)Political and economic ties. Accounting technology and expertiseis imported and exported based on the contacts that nations havewith each other through commerce, conquest, etc.e)Inflation. Historical cost accounting is the basis for initiallyrecording transactions around the world. Inflation puts stress onthe historical cost principle. Where inflation is high, accountingadjusts recorded amounts to reflect price level changes.f)Level of economic development. This factor defines the difficultyand types of the accounting issues that are faced in a nation.Accounting is complex where business transactions are complex(in highly developed economies); it is simpler where transactionsare simpler (in less developed countries).g)Education levels. This factor defines the limits of accountingsophistication in a nation. Accounting cannot get verysophisticated where education levels are relatively low (unless thecountry imports accounting training or its citizens are sentelsewhere for it).2.Countries that have relatively conservatism measurement practices also tend to be secretive in disclosure, while countries that have less conservative measurement practices tend to be transparent in disclosure. Why is this so?Conservative measurements and secretive disclosures tend to be correlated.At the same time, less emphasis on conservative measurements and transparent disclosures also tend to be correlated. This is largely to due to the principal source of finance in a country. Banks and governments are concerned about the safety net that conservatism affords; and because they tend to have direct access to information, public disclosure is less important.Capital markets demand a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations along with high levels of disclosure3. What are the major accounting classifications in the world? What are the distinguishing features of each model?The chapter discusses three major accounting classifications. The first is the one by Mueller•Macroeconomic approach, where accounting practice is designed to enhance macroeconomic goals;•Microeconomic approach, where accounting develops from the principles of microeconomics;•Independent discipline approach, where accounting develops from business practices based on judgment and trial-and-error; and •Uniform approach, where accounting is standardized so it can be used as a tool of administrative control by central government.The second classification is the one based on legal systems, which closely parallels the third classification based on practice systems. Generally speaking, the features of common law accounting (legal system) are those described for fair presentation accounting (practice system). The features of code law accounting (legal system) are those described for legal compliance accounting (practice system).Fair presentation (common law) emphasizes substance over form and is oriented toward the decision needs of external investors. Thus, it is capital markets oriented. Financial statements help investors judge managerial performance and predict future cash flows and profitability. Extensive disclosures provide additional relevant information for these purposesLegal compliance (code law) accounting is designed to satisfy government-imposed requirements such as calculating taxable income or complying with the national government’s macroeconomic plan. The income amount may also be the basis for dividends paid to shareholders and bonusespaid to employees. Conservative measurements ensure that prudent amounts are distributed and smooth income brings stable tax, dividend and bonus payouts.As noted above, fair presentation accounting is associated with common law countries, while legal compliance accounting is associated with code law countries. However, many companies from code law countries now follow International Financial Reporting Standards in their consolidated financial statements. IFRS are based on the principles of fair presentation.4. Why does this chapter contend that many accounting distinctions at the national level are becoming blurred? Do you agree? Why or why not?The chapter contends that many accounting distinctions at the national level are becoming blurred because of global capital market pressures. An increasing number of companies are listing on multiple stock exchanges. This has pressured accounting policy makers around the world to harmonize (converge) reporting requirements. This has also pressured companies to devise financial reporting practices that satisfy multiple requirements and user groups. At the same time, some code law countries where accounting is aimed at legal compliance have dual reporting. Consolidated financial statements are aimed at fair presentation (IFRS), while individual company financial statements continue to be aimed at legal compliance.Consolidated financial statements follow fair presentation principles, while individual company accounts follow legal compliance principles. Listed companies from the European Union now follow International Financial Reporting Standards in their consolidated financial statements. IFRS are based on fair presentation principles.5. Consider the development factors in the following five countries: France, India, Japan, U.S.A. and U.K.accounting in each of the countries.France: With banks and government as the main sources of finance, we can expect conservative and uniform measurements. With code law legal system, thefocus is on complying with the law. The link to taxation means thatmeasurements are also tax-oriented. Political and economic ties with therest of Europe suggest that French accounting may influence and beinfluenced by other European countries. Low inflation indicates a lowlikelihood of inflation adjustments. The levels of economic developmentand education suggest sophisticated accounting.India: With the government and stock market as the main sources of finance, we can expect a mixed (and inconsistent) orientation – uniformity but also fair presentation. The common law legal system and separation between tax and financial accounting indicate fair presentation accounting. The political and economic ties to the U.K. and U.S.A. also suggest fair presentation accounting.(Economic ties to China are probably unimportant in describing Indian accounting.) Low inflation suggests a low likelihood of inflation adjustments.The levels of economic development and education suggest less complex accounting standards and practices.Japan: With banks as the main source of finance, we can expectconservative accounting measurements. With the code law legal system,focus is on complying with the law. The link to taxation means thatmeasurements are also tax-oriented. Political and economic ties to theU.S.A. indicate some U.S. influence on Japanese accounting. (Economicties to China are probably unimportant in describing Japanese accounting.)Low inflation suggests a low likelihood of inflation adjustments. The levelsof economic development and education suggest sophisticated accounting.United Kingdom: With the stock market as the main source of finance, wecan expect fair presentation accounting. Fair presentation accounting canalso be expected because the U.K. has common law, and taxation andaccounting are separate (i.e., not linked). Political and economic ties to theU.S.A. and Europe suggest accounting influence is felt to and from both areas.Low inflation indicates a low likelihood of inflation adjustments. The levelsof economic development and education suggest sophisticated accounting.United States: With the stock market as the main source of finance, we can expect fair presentation accounting. Fair presentation accounting can also be expected because the U.S.A. has common law, and taxation and accounting are separate (i.e., not linked). Political and economic ties to the Canada and Mexico most likely mean that these two countries are influenced by the U.S.A., rather than the other way around. Low inflation indicates a low likelihood of inflation adjustments. The levels of economic development and education suggest sophisticated accounting.。

Although communicating with employees is part of every step, it is not one of the five basic functions.4) Hiring the wrong person for the job, committing unfair labor practices, and failing to motivate employees are personnel mistakes that hinder firms from achieving positive results.Answer: TRUEExplanation: Common HRM mistakes include hiring the wrong people, failing to motivate workers, and committing unfair labor practices. The primary goal of HRM is to help the firm achieve its goals, and such HRM mistakes hinder that process.5) Autonomy is the right to make decisions, direct the work of others, and give orders. Answer: FALSEExplanation: Authority rather than autonomy is the right to make decisions, direct the work of others, and give orders. In management, authority is distinguished between line authority and staff authority.6) Staff managers are authorized to issue orders to subordinates and are directly in charge of accomplishing the organization's basic goals.Answer: FALSEExplanation: Line managers, not staff managers, are authorized to issue orders down the chain of command. Staff managers have the authority to advise other managers or employees.7) Human resource managers are generally staff managers.Answer: TRUEExplanation: Human resource managers are usually staff managers. They assist and advise line managers in areas like recruiting, hiring, and compensation. However, line managers still have human resource duties.8) Staff managers have staff authority which enables them to issue orders down the chain of command unlike line managers.Answer: FALSEExplanation: Line managers can issue orders down the chain of command, while staff managers are only able to advise other managers and employees.9) In small organizations, line managers frequently handle all personnel duties without the assistance of a human resource staff.Answer: TRUEExplanation: In small firms, line managers are able to handle personnel duties. However, large firms of over 100 employees require human resource specialists. 10) Human resource managers assist line managers with hiring, training, evaluating, rewarding, counseling, promoting, and hiring employees.Answer: TRUEExplanation: Assisting and advising line managers is the heart of the human resource manager's job. HR assists in hiring, training, evaluating, rewarding, counseling, promoting, and firing employees.。

El Nino years typically bring intense storms and heavy rain from California across the Midwestern states.
In general, the U.S. sees an increased amount of rainfall during El Nino years.
La Nina years normally bring hot, dry weather to most of the U.S.
The Pacific northwest (Washington, Oregon) usually has the reverse weather patterns. (Drier during El Nino and wetter during La Nina).63.The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty that was established in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. About 160 nations agreed to cut back on emissions of the main greenhouse gases to help with the problems associated with worldwide climate change. Even though the U.S. played an important role in leading the negotiations at Kyoto, it has never been ratified by the U.S. government. President Bush claims that it would be detrimental to our economy to doso.
Several big businesses in the U.S. have joined with four of the largest environmental groups to call for strong national legislation to ultimately achieve significant reductions of greenhouse gases. These are huge companies that can make a major impact (GE, Alcoa, BP Gas, etc.) if they are successful.
On an individual level, there are many things that can be done including: driving less, driving a fuel-efficient vehicle, planting trees, producing less waste (recycle or compost when possible), adjusting thermostats-especially when not at home, insulating your home, purchasing energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights, computers and other energy-consuming items when not in use, etc.Chapter 17 Water Use and ManagementMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10C A B A B C A C A A11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20D C A C C D B AE E21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30B D DC E B A C A A31 32 33 34 35 36D C D C B ATrue / False Questions37 38 39 40T F T FEssay Questions41.By comparison, both projects have the same purpose. That is to divert or transfer water from one region to another. In California, there is plentiful rainfall in the north, so excess water is pumped to the south. In China, it is the reverse. Southern China has plentiful water and will be pumping it to the north where it is scarcer.
In California, much of the original project was done rather underhandedly. In the early 1900s, land in northern California was quietly purchased by persons in power in Los Angeles. Eventually, they controlled over 90% of the water rights in the Owens Valley area of northern California. They built a huge aqueduct and transported the water to the south. So much water was transferred that the Owens River became dry for much of its course and Owens Lake, which was fed by the river, completely disappeared. In the 1940s, even more water was needed, so sources even further north were tapped to increase the supply. Another lake in this area lost half of its volume. This had serious environmental effects by decimating the population of brine shrimp that lived in the lake. This in turn decreased the number of waterbirds that relied on the shrimp as a food source. After many years of legal issues, the California Water Resources Board ruled in 1994 that LA must allow some water to replenish Lake Mono (the second lake affected). By 2014, the lake must be returned to its 1964 level. Some increase has been seen so far. The ecology also seems to be recovering slowly in this area.
In China, a huge multi-year, multi-billion dollar project is now underway to transfer water from southern to northern China. This will involve not one, but three separate routes to transfer the water to the needed regions. There are many problems and issues that will need to be dealt with. One issue is that water polluted by sewage and industrial waste is being transferred. Even though some areas are extremely dry, they are reluctant to accept this water. One of the routes will be extremely expensive and probably will not reach completion until at least 2050. This route will tunnel through mountains and over deep canyons. In addition, if global warming melts all of Tibet's glaciers, it may not be feasible in the long run. Environmental scientists worry that drawing from the Yangtze River will only worsen its pollution problems. Drawing water away from rivers on which millions rely only makes pollution problems worse. Downstream wetlands may also dry up, and ocean circulation may even be affected.42.Should include at least some of the following, but may include others as well.

This type of technology allows for many advantages. Someone who sees the positive benefits of this technology would be a technological optimist. Scientists working in this field would obviously see the benefits; opponents would most likely not be those in the field of genetic engineering. There are many benefits including: improved crops (yield, pest and disease resistance, salt tolerance, etc.), vaccines could be placed in foods like bananas and potatoes, insulin and other hormones can be mass-produced relatively cheaply.Chapter 10 Farming: Conventional and Sustainable PracticesMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10A B B E C D C E E A11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20B B EC C B E B C B21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30B E D D BC E B E B31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40A D AB B BC C B E41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50B D BC B A C B A AD B CE E D B A E A61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70B AC E C A E C E B71 72 73 74C D E BTrue / False Questions75 76 77 78 79 80T T T F F TEssay Questions81.Industrial farming produces very large amount of foods—in fact more than enough to feed the world's population (if distributed evenly).However, a large amount of this food goes to waste. The use of pesticides in industrial farming is very high and this results in many environmental problems—Poisoning nontarget species, including beneficial predators, pesticide resistance, reproductive problems in nontarget species, persistence and mobility—all can affect humans and animals thousands of miles away. Pesticides are also responsible for a myriad of human health problems. Organic farming does not result in as great a yield as industrial.However, it is much more eco-friendly. It leaves the soil in much better condition and since prices paid for organic products are higher than conventional, net returns are typically higher with organic crops. Since no pesticides are used, there are no negative health effects or other negative impacts associated with this type of farming.82.Should include at least some of the following, but may include others.
▪ buy organic—should contain no pesticides
▪ wash and scrub all fresh fruits and vegetables to remove residues
▪ peel fruits and vegetables when possible to remove all traces of pesticides
▪ throw away the outer leaves of leafy vegetables to remove highest concentration of pesticides
▪ store food carefully to avoid mold or bacterial growth—these organisms can produce their own toxins
▪ cook foods that you suspect have pesticides to break down residues
▪ trim the fat from meat, chicken, and fish—fat contains the highest concentrations of pesticides
▪ reduce the amount of meat in your diet to reduce your pesticide intake
▪ don't pick and eat wild berries that may have been sprayed—it's better to be safe—wash them first
▪ grow your own fruits and vegetables—then you know exactly where the food came from!

Tree farms have the following characteristics: the types and sizes of trees can vary depending upon the cutting technique that is used; however, most are made up of one type of tree, most of which are about the same age and size (clear-cutting), typically soil erosion is prevalent due to lack of undergrowth, rotting logs, and other vegetation, soil is also typically nutrient-poor (no vegetation to be recycled—everything is removed), very little biodiversity due to little variation in habitat, alternative methods of cutting such as selective cutting are much better environmentally—decreases erosion, improves soil quality, increases biodiversity among other benefits.49.Brazil has the largest amount of land in protected status as of now. The majority of this protected land is in the Amazon basin. Nine new protected areas in the northern Amazon basin were established in 2006 (along the borders of Suriname and Guyana). About half of this newly protected land will be strictly protected and will create the largest tropical forest reserve in the world.
In contrast to this is the Pantanal. This is the world's largestwetland/savanna complex (somewhat similar to the Florida everglades). Some of the regions of the Pantanal have even greater amounts of biodiversity than the Amazon basin. However, most of this region is privately owned and so far, very little of it has any protected status.Chapter 13 Restoration EcologyMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10D C AE E A E D A B11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20C A E E B BD C A A21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30A C D E A A C E A A31 32 33 34D D B ATrue / False Questions35 36 37 38 39T F F T TEssay Questions40.The intent of both is obviously to preserve the prairie. However, it is being approached in two completely different ways. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is cooperating with local ranchers and allowing them to continue grazing cattle on most of the land (which TNC owns) in exchange for specific conservation measures including protection of prairie dog colonies and sage grouse nests. They must also control weed growth. TNC's approach is that by keeping ranch families working on the land, it preserves their lifestyle and at the same time, preserves the biodiversity of the Great Plains. Close by, the American Prairie Foundation (APF) is going about preservation by a completely different route. They have purchased approximately the same amount of land as TNC (close to 60,000 acres). Instead of continuing to allow cattle ranching, they will remove all fences and buildings and return the area to wilderness. They also plan to return wildlife including elk, bison, wolves and grizzly bears to the land. Nearby ranchers are not thrilled with the prospect of the predators being returned, as they feel their livestock will be threatened. Many also are not happy that the funding is coming mainly from Wall Street or Silicon Valley in California. They are upset that people with money from the outside are forcing changes upon them. They worry about restrictions that may be placed on the land. The APF defends its side by saying that tourism, bird-watching, and hunting will be allowed on nearly all of its lands and that this will bring in more income than raising cattle.41.Should include some of the following:
1) To reduce sediment influx (erosion from stream banks or other areas), several different methods may be employed including planting ground cover on banks or uplands; gullies that empty into the stream may be filled with rocks or brush; barriers can be used to deflect the current away from the stream banks or to trap sediment (these may include weirs, vanes, dams, logs, bundled brush, root wads, etc.)—these can actually be beneficial in carving out deep pools in the stream bottom, which provide excellent habitat for fish and other organisms; stabilizing stream banks—should be no more than 45 degrees to minimize erosion; soil can be held in place by plants, rocks, or other ground cover; if there is not enough space to recontour, steep banks will need to be supported by rock walls, riprap, or embedded tree trunks.Chapter 22 Urbanization and Sustainable CitiesMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10D D AE E B C B E A11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20C B CD C A B A B C21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30C A B A B A A C E E31 32 33 34C C B DTrue / False Questions35 36 37 38 39T T F F TEssay Questions40.Push factors: no jobs, lack of food, inadequate housing, political conflicts, racial conflicts, religious conflicts

The new amorphous silicon collectors can be made into lightweight, paper-thin sheets that can be layered right on to roof tiles. A tropical country implies that it is warm and sunny year-round, providing the optimalconditions for solar collection. These collectors are already currently being used in remote places without access to conventional power, so this would be a perfect place for this technology. Homes and offices can be built without power plants and power lines; no fuels would need to be purchased; and you would have no monthly energy bills. Prices of solar electricity are dropping each year and will be competitive with conventional power (fossil fuels) by 2020. Even though the start-up cost may be more currently, in the long run the solar power will more than pay for itself.43.Should contain some of the items listed in the table below.Topic 6 Pollution (25-30%)Chapter 08 Environmental Health and ToxicologyMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10D E D A C A B D A A11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20B ACD B C B B A D21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30D E C D B A A E D A31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40D A B A B DE E C A41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50B C A B A E D C B C51 52 53 54 55C D E C ATrue / False Questions56 57 58 59 60T T T F TEssay Questions61.You would most likely be worried because: (should mention at least one from each category)

In the troposphere, ozone is a major component of smog. It is formed as a photochemical oxidant, resulting mainly from too many hydrocarbons in the air. It is a strong oxidizing agent and damages vegetation and buildings. It is also an irritant to the lungs and eyes. It can be very harmful to persons with underlying respiratory conditions, so itis considered a pollutant.
Its role in the stratosphere is completely different. It acts as a UV filter, providing earth with a "natural" shield from incoming solar radiation. When it becomes depleted, due mainly to CFCs, excess UV makes it through the ozone layer. This results in increased incidence of skin cancer and eye damage in humans. It is also harmful to crops, which may show decreased productivity.Chapter 18 Water PollutionMultiple Choice Questions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10C ED C A B A A C C11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20C B A B CD B C A B21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30D CE E D A E E E A31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40B C A E D A A C A B41 42D ETrue / False Questions43 44 45 46F F F TEssay Questions47.Point

▪ Discrete and identifiable, so are relatively easy to monitor and regulate
▪ Generally feasible to divert effluent from the waste stream and treat it before it is released into the environment Nonpoint
▪ Examples include runoff from farm fields and feedlots, golf courses, lawns and gardens, construction sites, logging areas, roads, streets, and parking lots
▪ There is no specific location where they discharge, so it can end up in water anywhere
▪ Typically are scattered or diffuse
▪ Amount of runoff is seasonal (varies with times and amounts of precipitation); heavy rainfalls may flush or carry a lot of pollutants into lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water at one time
▪ Much more difficult to monitor, regulate, and treat48.BOD is one way to measure the amount of bacteria in a water sample. Organic wastes, including sewage, paper pulp, or food, are very rich in certain nutrients—especially nitrogen and phosphorus. Once in aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients stem the growth of decomposing bacteria. These bacteria consume large amounts of oxygen. The BOD can give us an approximation of the amount of organic waste in the water based on the oxygen content. The effects of oxygen-demanding wastes on bodies of water depend on the volume, flow, and temperature of the water. In general, a characteristic decline in oxygen is seen downstream from a point source (e.g., discharge pipe). This is called the oxygen sag. Farther downstream, levels of oxygen will eventually return to normal.
A diagram similar to Fig. 18.7 on p. 402 in the text (showing the relationship between BOD and oxygen sag) should be drawn with appropriate labels. Zones, oxygen levels, and types of organisms may be included in this diagram.。

• Jordan is reported to be the celebrity with whom most American children feel most comfortable, and American adults once placed him fifth on a list of all-time "most respected newsmakers".
• His athleticism and fierce competitiveness frightened his opponents, but his graciousness made him an American and international icon. He is most famous as the face of Nike, the athletics shoe and clothing company whose products he has endorsed for the past decade.
• Jordan quickly became a multi-millionaire, thanks to lucrative product endorsement deals such as his Nike promotion. As his fortune grew he put money back into the community, creating a foundation to fund athletics facilities and other projects for children form the inner city of Chicago, his adopted home.

(a) No. Both oxygen and hydrogen are gases at room conditions while glucoseis a solid at room conditions. Carbon is black in colour while glucose iswhite.(b) Glucose solution is a mixture. It is because there is no chemical reactiontaking place between glucose and water.(c) Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water34. Compounds and mixtures are different in a number of ways. These include:(1) Compounds have fixed chemical composition while mixtures have variablechemical composition. Examples: water and air(2) During the formation of compounds, a chemical change occurs. Newsubstances are always formed. On the other hand, a mixture is obtainedwhen different substances are physically mixed. There is no chemicalchange. No new substance is formed and the change is seldom accompaniedby energy changes. Examples: formation of water from hydrogen andoxygen, mixing of sand and sugar(3) Properties of a compound are very different from that of its constituentelements. For example, water is colourless liquid while hydrogen and oxygenare colourless gases. On the other hand, each constituent substance retainsits own properties in mixtures. For example, nitrogen and oxygen are bothcolourless gases no matter whether they are isolated or present together inthe air.(4) Separation of the constituents of a compound requires a chemical process.For example, breaking water down into the elements hydrogen and oxygenrequires a chemical process called electrolysis. On the other hand,separation of a mixture requires a physical process only. For example,separation of iron powder from a mixture just requires the use of a magnet.35. -PHYSICAL PROPERTIES of a substance are those properties that can bedetermined without the substance changing into another substance.-Examples of physical properties of a substance include colour, odour (smell) and physical state. For example water is a colourless, odourless liquid under room conditions.-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of a substance are the chemical reactions of the substance, and the respective conditions under which each reaction takes place.-Examples of chemical properties of a substance include how fast and vigorous it reacts (i.e., its reactivity) with another substance, the condition(s) needed for it to react with other substances and what products can be produced when it reacts with other substances. For example, hydrogen reacts vigorously with oxygen (or air) only when lit with a burning splint to form water.Class PracticeA2.1(a) People in ancient times had little scientific knowledge.

(a) The volumes of the three gases obtained i.e. argon, nitrogen and oxygen are930 litres, 78,000 litres and 21,000 litres respectively.(b) Fractional distillation (c) No. Oxygen is the most reactive gas in air, whereas nitrogen is unreactive,which serves the good purpose of ‘diluting ’ oxygen in air. If there were more oxygen in air, metals would be oxidized and corroded faster. Things would also burn easier, so there would be a greater hazard of fire.16. (a) Fractional distillation of liquid air (b) Oxidizing (c) Physical property: colourless, odourless Chemical property: it supports combustion (d) Put a glowing splint into a test tube containing the gas to be tested. If thegas is oxygen, the splint relights.17.

The second one to be collected is argon(boiling point -186 ︒C) /noble gas. Then oxygen gas (boiling point -183 ︒C) is collected.Chapter 3 OceansChapter Exercise1. sodium chloride (common salt), sodium, chlorine2. evaporation3. filtration, crystallization4. saturated5. boiling, condensation6. distillate, residue7. distillation8. flame test9. brilliant golden yellow10. white11. water, white, blue, blue, pink12.

The sample gives a brilliant golden yellow flame in the flame test if sodiumions are present.Test for chloride ions: Silver nitrate testAdd silver nitrate solution to the sample, followed by excess dilute nitric acid. Theappearance of a white precipitate indicates the presence of chloride ions.21. His conclusion is not justified. He should add the white-powder to distilled waterand stir well, then filter and evaporate the filtrate to dryness by heating, and see if any solid is left.22. (a) This is because some metal ions can produce a characteristic coloured lightwhen they are heated strongly.(b) (1) Moisten a clean platinum wire with concentrated hydrochloric acid.(2) Dip the platinum wire into a crushed sample of the salt (or solution) tobe tested.(3) Heat the platinum wire with the sample strongly in a non-luminousflame.(4) Observe the colour of the flame at the wire and identify the metal ionspresent.(c) Potassium ions: lilac; calcium ions: brick red; copper (II) ions: bluish green.23. (a) It was not a suitable method because the liquid may be unclean, harmful oreven poisonous.(b) Flame test.(c) To show the presence of chloride ions, acidified silver nitrate solution isadded to the sample. If chloride ions are present, a white precipitate will be formed.(d) To show the presence of water, a few drops of the liquid are added toanhydrous copper(II) sulphate.The powder changes from white to blue if water is present.Alternatively, add a few drops of the liquid to dry cobalt chloride test paper. The paper changes from blue to pink if water is present. thermometerdelivery tubeclampboiling tube sodium chloridesolutionheatanti-bumping granulereceiver test tubewater pure water(e) He could not be sure that the liquid was sea water. Even if the tests showedthat sodium ions, chloride ions and water were present, the liquid might notnecessarily be sea water. For example, it might be just a sodium chloridesolution, without any other salts naturally present in sea water.24. (a) Electrolysis means ‘decomposition by electricity’.(b) Chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide.(c) Chlorine − water sterilization, manufacture of bleach, etc.Hydrogen − production of margarine, as rocket fuel, etc.Sodium hydroxide − manufacture of soap, extraction of aluminium, etc. 25. -Sea water is an important source of common salt (sodium chloride) which hasmany uses.-By the electrolysis of sea water, useful products, hydrogen, chlorine and sodium hydroxide are obtained. These products can be used to manufacture a lot of useful chemicals.-Hydrogen can be used to produce ammonia.- Chlorine can be used to produce bleach.- Sodium hydroxide can be used to produce soap.Class PracticeA4.1heat calcium oxide + carbon dioxideStep 1: calcium carbonate −−−−→Step 2: calcium oxide + water → calcium hydroxideStep 3: calcium hydroxide + water → calcium hydroxide solution (limewater) Step 4: calcium hydroxide solution (limewater) + carbon dioxide→ calcium carbonate + waterA4.2calcium carbonate + nitric acid → calcium nitrate + carbon dioxide + waterChapter Exercise1. mineral, a mixture of minerals2. crystalline, chemical3. extraction4. ore, aluminium5. haematite, carbon (or coke)6. chalk, marble7.

All mixtures are impure substances.(c) Water(d) Yes. Water is a compound, and a single compound when existing alone is apure substance.21. (a) This conclusion is valid. The brick red colour in the flame test indicates thepresence of calcium, and the white precipitate formed when acidified silvernitrate solution is added indicates the presence of chloride.(b) This conclusion is invalid. The bubbles formed when acid was added maynot be carbon dioxide.(c) Conclusion (a) cannot be disproved. To test the validity of conclusion (b),pass the gas formed into limewater. If the limewater turns milky, the gas iscarbon dioxide, then the conclusion is valid. If the limewater doesn’t turnmilky, the conclusion is invalid.(d) The only validity of this statement is that the sample is a mixture containingcalcium chloride. Even carbonate is shown to be present, the tests carriedout are insufficient to rule out the possibility of other substances present inthe sample.22.(a) X : carbon dioxide; Y : water; Z : carbon dioxide.(b) calcium carbonate −−→−heat calcium oxide + carbon dioxideThe limestone cracks and makes a cracking noise.(c) calcium oxide + water → calcium hydroxide + heatA lot of heat is produced, with the possible production of some steamy vapour.

(a) Refer to Coursebook 1 page 69.(b) Refer to Coursebook 1 page 70.(c) Frost action is a physical weathering process. This is because no newsubstances are formed during the process. Action of carbonic acid is a chemical weathering process. This is because carbonic acid changes calcium carbonate to a new substance, calcium hydrogencarbonate.(d) When excess of carbon dioxide is bubbled in, soluble calciumhydrogencarbonate is formed.Chapter 5 Atomic structureClass PracticeA5.1They are the only two liquid elements.A5.21.
