Green cHemistryThe fourteenth edition of Chemistry for Changing Times is pleased to present the green chemistry essays listed below. The topics have been carefully chosen to introduce students to the concepts of green chemistry—a new approach to designing chemicals and chemical transformations that are beneficial for human health and the environment. The green chemistry essays in this edition highlight cutting-edge research by chemists, molecular scientists, and engineers to explore the fundamental science and practical applications of chemistry that is “benign by design.” These examples emphasize the responsibility of chemists for the consequences of the new materials they create and the importance of building a sustainable chemical enterprise.

PrefAce

Chemistry for Changing Times is now in its fourteenth edition. Times have changed immensely since the first edition appeared in 1972 and continue to change more rapidly than ever—especially in the vital areas of bio-chemistry (neurochemistry, molecular genetics), the envi-ronment (sustainable practices, climate change), energy, materials, drugs, and health and nutrition. This book has changed accordingly. We have thoroughly updated the text and further integrated green chemistry throughout. There is a new or revised green chemistry essay in each chapter. Learning objectives and end-of-chapter prob-lems are correlated to each essay. In preparing this new edition, we have responded to suggestions from users and reviewers of the thirteenth edition, as well as used our own writing, teaching, and life experiences. The text has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest scientific developments in a fast-changing world.

New to This Edition■ New! Chemistry@Home experiments have been

added to the end of each chapter. These simple exper-iments give students the opportunity to apply the information learned in each chapter through experi-mentation that is easily done at home. Live demon-strations with assessment questions are also available in MasteringChemistry.

■ We have placed greater focus on incorporating new data, statistics, and the latest scientific findings. Examples include:

■ In Chapter 2, we reworked the coverage of the laws of conservation of mass and of definite pro-portions.

■ Chapter 4 has been heavily revised to reflect new thinking on how to describe chemical bonding, stressing some important underlying concepts such as the octet rule and electronegativity.

■ Chapter 13 has been rewritten to incorporate the latest data captured during the constant monitor-ing of air quality and makeup of the atmosphere.

■ Green chemistry coverage has been increased and further integrated into the text:

■ A greater emphasis is placed on sustainability—both in the green essays and within chapter appli-cation.

■ All essays have been carefully reviewed. Of the 22 essays, 11 are entirely new and the remaining have been rewritten extensively. Each essay iden-tifies the principles of green chemistry that are applied in it.

■ In each chapter, there are two to five end-of-chap-ter problems that relate to the green chemistry essay. These have been vetted and renewed as necessary.

■ Updated! Content has been streamlined throughout to expand coverage on topics where students strug-gle most. Some examples include:

■ In Chapter 1, we reduced historical content in favor of a greater emphasis on fundamental ideas, including the scientific method, green chemistry, and data assessment.

■ We developed a more intuitive feel for stoichiom-etry in Chapter 5, a concept that nonmajors often find to be the most challenging in this course.

■ Chapter 6 now includes coverage of Gay-Lussac’s law.

■ We adjusted coverage of stability of isotopes in Chapter 11 (another topic that frequently pro-vides a challenge) and the workings of cata-lytic converters in Chapter 13. We also added coverage of heat capacity and specific heat to Chapter 14.

■ Learning objectives, located at the beginning of each chapter and at the start of each section, have been revised as needed for clarity. They are linked to end-of-chapter problems to assist students and professors when assessing mastery of concepts.

■ Updated! At least 25% of the Critical Thinking Exer-cises have been revised or replaced in all chapters. These exercises require students to apply concepts learned in the chapter and stress that critical thinking is a regular part of the work of students and scien-tists.

■ Self-Assessment Questions at the end of each section facilitate student interaction with topics just learned. These multiple-choice items provide immediate feed-back to test students’ understanding of the material and serve as quick checks during reading of the chapter.

■ We have revised or replaced more than 25% of the end-of-chapter problems to highlight the constant changes taking place in chemistry. Between editions, we are constantly sketching out new and interesting problems, which then are incorporated into the fol-lowing edition’s problem sets.

■ Many of the worked-out examples and their accom-panying exercises in the chapters have also been modified or revised to reflect current thinking, appli-cations, and even some novelty. This is especially the case in the first 12 chapters—the core of the course.

■ Updated! Each chapter starts with compelling images and a set of questions called “Have You Ever Won-dered?” These real-life questions engage students in the chapter’s content. Many have been changed as we listen to students and the questions they bring up. We watch for new developments that interest the general public, too. Answers to the questions are found in the outer column within the chapter, near the related text content.

■ Updated! Collaborative Group Projects, which follow the end-of-chapter problems, have been revised or replaced in many chapters. These projects can extend the students’ learning of chemistry far beyond the textbook.

To The insTruCTorOur knowledge base has expanded enormously since this book’s first edition, never more so than in the last few years. We have faced tough choices in deciding what to include and what to leave out. We now live in what has been called the Information Age. Unfortunately, informa-tion is not knowledge; the information may or may not be valid. Our focus, more than ever, is on helping students evaluate information. May we all someday gain the gift of wisdom.

A major premise of this book is that a chemistry course for students who are not majoring in science should be quite different from a course offered to science majors. It must present basic chemical concepts with intellectual honesty, but it need not—probably should not—focus on esoteric theories or rigorous mathematics. It should in-clude lots of modern everyday applications. The textbook should be appealing to look at, easy to understand, and interesting to read.

A large proportion of the legislation considered by the U.S. Congress involves questions having to do with science or technology, yet only rarely does a scientist or engineer enter politics. Most of the people who make im-portant decisions regarding our health and our environ-ment are not trained in science, but it is critical that these decision makers be scientifically literate. In the judicial system, decisions often depend on scientific evidence, but judges and jurors frequently have little education in the sciences. A chemistry course for students who are not science majors should emphasize practical applications of chemistry to problems involving, most notably, environ-mental pollution, radioactivity, energy sources, and hu-man health. The students who take liberal arts chemistry courses include future teachers, business leaders, law-yers, legislators, accountants, artists, journalists, jurors, and judges.

ObjectivesOur main objectives for a chemistry course for students who are not majoring in science are as follows:

■ To attract lots of students from a variety of disciplines. If students do not enroll in the course, we can’t teach them.

■ To help students become literate in science. We want our students to develop a comfortable knowledge of science so that they may become productive, creative, ethical, and engaged citizens.

■ To use topics of current interest to illustrate chemical principles. We want students to appreciate the impor-tance of chemistry in the real world.

■ To relate chemical problems to the everyday lives of our students. Chemical problems become more sig-nificant to students when they can see a personal con-nection.

■ To acquaint students with scientific methods. We want students to be able to read about science and technology with some degree of critical judgment. This is especially important because many scientific problems are complex and controversial.

■ To show students, by addressing the concepts of sus-tainability and green chemistry, that chemists seek better, safer, and more environmentally friendly pro-cesses and products.

■ To instill an appreciation for chemistry as an open-ended learning experience. We hope that our stu-dents will develop a curiosity about science and will want to continue learning throughout their lives.

Questions and ProblemsWorked-out Examples and accompanying exercises are given within most chapters.

Each Example carefully guides students through the process for solving a particular type of problem. It is then followed by one or more exercises that allow students to check their comprehension right away. Many Examples are followed by two exercises, labeled A and B. The goal in an A exercise is to apply to a similar situation the meth-od outlined in the Example. In a B exercise, students must often combine that method with other ideas previously learned. Many of the B exercises provide a context closer to that in which chemical knowledge is applied, and they thus serve as a bridge between the Worked Examples and the more challenging problems at the end of the chap-ter. The A and B exercises provide a simple way for the instructor to assign homework that is closely related to the Examples. Answers to all the in-chapter exercises are given in the Answers section at the back of the book.

Answers to all odd-numbered end-of-chapter prob-lems, identified by blue numbers, are given in the An-swers section at the back of the book. The end-of chapter problems include the following:

■ Review Questions for the most part simply ask for a recall of material in the chapter.

■ A set of matched-pair problems is arranged accord-ing to subject matter in each chapter.

We also appreciate the many people who have called, written, or e-mailed with corrections and other helpful suggestions. Cynthia S. Hill prepared much of the origi-nal material on biochemistry, food, and health and fitness.

We owe a special debt of gratitude to Doris K. Kolb (1927–2005), who was an esteemed coauthor from the seventh through the eleventh editions. Doris and her husband Ken were friends and helpful supporters long before Doris joined the author team. She provided much of the spirit and flavor of the book. Doris’s contribu-tions to Chemistry for Changing Times—and indeed to all of chemistry and chemical education—will live on for many years to come, not only in her publications, but in the hearts and minds of her many students, colleagues, and friends.

Throughout her career as a teacher, scientist, commu-nity leader, poet, and much more, Doris was blessed with a wonderful spouse, colleague, and companion, Kenneth E. Kolb. Over the years, Ken did chapter reviews, made suggestions, and gave invaluable help for many editions. All who knew Doris miss her greatly. Those of us who had the privilege of working closely with her miss her wisdom and wit most profoundly. Let us all dedicate our lives, as Doris did hers, to making this world a better place.

We also want to thank our colleagues at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, Murray State University, and Bradley University for all their help and support through the years. We are thankful to the contributors who revised all chapters for this new edition, Robert and Elzbieta Cook, Louisiana State University; Ricardo Delgado, Lindenwood University; Marilyn Duerst, University of Wisconsin-River Falls; Steven R. Gwaltney, Mississippi State University Andrew Jorgensen, The Uni-versity of Toledo; Jeremy Mason, Texas Tech University; Rill Ann Reuter, Winona State University. Thank you to Amy Cannon and Kate Anderson who coordinated the Chemistry @ Home experiments. The Chemistry @ Home demonstrations help bring the subject matter to life for students.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the many creative people at Pearson who have contributed their talents to this edition. Jessica Moro, program manager, has been

a delight to work with, providing valuable guidance throughout the project. She showed extraordinary skill and diplomacy in coordinating all the many facets of this project. Director of Development Jennifer Hart and De-velopment Editor Donald Gecewicz contributed greatly to this project, especially in challenging us to be better authors in every way. We treasure their many helpful suggestions of new material and better presentation of all the subject matter. We are grateful to Acquisitions Editor Chris Hess for his overall guidance and to Project Manag-ers Francesca Monaco and Lisa Pierce for their diligence and patience in bringing all the parts together to yield a finished work. We are indebted to our copyeditor Betty Pessagno, whose expertise helped improve the consisten-cy of the text; and to proofreaders and accuracy checkers whose sharp eyes caught many of our errors and typos. We also salute our art specialist, Andrew Troutt, for pro-viding outstanding illustrations, and our photo research-er, Carolyn Arcabascio, who vetted hundreds of images in the search for quality photos.

John W. Hill owes a very special kind of thanks to his wonderful spouse, Ina, who over the years has done typing, library research, and so many other things that allow him time to concentrate on writing. Most of all, he is grateful for her boundless patience, unflagging support, understanding, and enduring love. He is also grateful to his beloved daugh-ter Cindy for her help with the house and the yard and so many other things. Terry W. McCreary would like to thank his wife, Geniece, and children, Corinne and Yvette, for their unflagging support, understanding, and love.

Finally, we also thank all those many students whose enthusiasm has made teaching such a joy. It is gratifying to have students learn what you are trying to teach them, but it is a supreme pleasure to find that they want to learn even more. And, of course, we are grateful to all of you who have made so many helpful suggestions. We wel-come and appreciate all your comments, corrections, and criticisms.

To The sTudenTTell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

—American poet Mary Oliver (b. 1935)“The Summer Day,” from New and Selected Poems

(Boston, MA: Beacon Press, 1992)

Welcome to Our Chemical World!Learning chemistry will enrich your life—now and long after this course is over—through a better understand-ing of the natural world, the scientific and technological questions now confronting us, and the choices you will face as citizens in a scientific and technological society.

Skills gained in this course can be exceptionally useful in many aspects of your life. Learning chemistry involves thinking logically, critically, and creatively. You will learn how to use the language of chemistry: its symbols, formu-las, and equations. More importantly, you will learn how to obtain meaning from information. The most important thing you will learn is how to learn. Memorized mate-rial quickly fades into oblivion unless it is arranged on a framework of understanding.

Chemistry Directly Affects Our LivesHow does the human body work? How does aspirin cure headaches, reduce fevers, and lessen the chance of a heart attack or stroke? How does penicillin kill bacteria without harming our healthy body cells? Is ozone a good thing or a threat to our health? Do we really face climate change, and if so, how severe will it be? Do humans contribute to climate change, and if so, to what degree? Why do most weight-loss diets seem to work in the short run but fail in the long run? Why do our moods swing from happy to sad? Chemists have found answers to questions such as these and continue to seek the knowledge that will unlock other secrets of our universe. As these mysteries are resolved, the direction of our lives often changes—sometimes dramatically. We live in a chemical world—a world of drugs, biocides, food additives, fertilizers, fuels, detergents, cosmetics, and plastics. We live in a world with toxic wastes, polluted air and water, and dwindling petroleum reserves. Knowledge of chemistry will help you better understand the benefits and hazards of this world and will enable you to make intelligent decisions in the future.

We Are All Chemically DependentEven in the womb we are chemically dependent. We need a constant supply of oxygen, water, glucose, amino acids, triglycerides, and a multitude of other chemical substances.

Chemistry is everywhere. Our world is a chemical system—and so are we. Our bodies are durable but delicate systems with innumerable chemical reactions occurring constantly within us that allow our bodies to function prop-erly. Learning, exercising, feeling, gaining or losing weight, and virtually all life processes are made possible by these chemical reactions. Everything that we ingest is part of a complex process that determines whether our bodies work effectively. The consumption of some substances can initiate chemical reactions that will stop body functions. Other sub-stances, if consumed, can cause permanent handicaps, and still others can make living less comfortable. A proper bal-ance of the right foods provides the chemicals that fuel the reactions we need in order to function at our best. Learning chemistry will help you better understand how your body works so that you will be able to take proper care of it.

Changing TimesWe live in a world of increasingly rapid change. Isaac Asimov (1920–1992), Russian-born American biochem-ist and famous author of popular science and science fiction books, once said that “The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the domi-nant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.” We now face some of the greatest problems that humans have ever encountered, and these dilemmas seem to have no perfect solutions. We are sometimes forced to make a best choice among only bad alternatives, and our decisions often pro-vide only temporary solutions. Nevertheless, if we are to choose properly, we must understand what our choices are. Mistakes can be costly, and they cannot always be rectified. It is easy to pollute, but cleaning up pollution is enormously expensive. We can best avoid mistakes by collecting as much information as possible and evaluat-ing it carefully before making critical decisions. Science is a means of gathering and evaluating information, and chemistry is central to all the sciences.

Chemistry and the Human ConditionAbove all else, our hope is that you will learn that the study of chemistry need not be dull and difficult. Rather, it can enrich your life in so many ways—through a bet-ter understanding of your body, your mind, your envi-ronment, and the world in which you live. After all, the search to understand the universe is an essential part of what it means to be human. We offer you a challenge first issued by American educator Horace Mann (1796–1859) in his 1859 address at Antioch College: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”

Problem 53

SUMMARYSection 3.1—Davy, Faraday, and others showed that matter

is electrical in nature. They were able to decompose com-pounds into elements by electrolysis or by passing electric-ity through molten salts. Electrodes are carbon rods or metal strips that carry electricity into the electrolyte, the solution or compound that conducts electricity. The electrolyte con-tains ions—charged atoms or groups of atoms. The anode is the positive electrode, and anions (negatively charged ions) move toward it. The cathode is the negative electrode, and cations (positively charged ions) move toward it. Experi-ments with cathode rays in gas-discharge tubes showed that matter contained negatively charged particles, which were called electrons. Thomson determined the mass-to-charge ratio for the electron. Goldstein’s experiment showed that matter also contained positively charged particles. Mil-likan’s oil-drop experiment measured the charge on the electron, so its mass could then be calculated.

Section 3.2—In his studies of cathode rays, Roentgen acciden-tally discovered X-rays, a highly penetrating form of radia-tion now used in medical diagnosis. Becquerel accidentally discovered another type of radiation that comes from cer-tain unstable elements. Marie Curie named this new discov-ery radioactivity and studied it extensively.

Section 3.3—Radioactivity was soon classi�ed as three differ-ent types of radiation: Alpha particles have four times the mass of a hydrogen atom and a positive charge twice that of an electron. Beta particles are energetic electrons. Gamma rays are a form of energy like X-rays but more penetrating.

another by a quantum, or discrete unit of energy. An atom drops to the lowest energy state, or ground state, after being in a higher energy state, or excited state. The energy emitted when electrons move to lower energy levels mani-fests as a line spectrum characteristic of the particular ele-ment, with the lines corresponding to speci�c wavelengths (colors) of light. Bohr also deduced that the energy levels of an atom could hold at most 2n2 electrons, where n is the number of the energy level, or shell. A description of the shells occupied by the electrons of an atom is one way of giving the atom’s electron con�guration , or arrangement of electrons.

Section 3.7—de Broglie hypothesized that electrons have wave properties. Schrödinger developed equations that described each electron’s location in terms of an orbital, a volume of space that the electron usually occupies. Each orbital holds at most two electrons. Orbitals in the same shell and with the same energy make up a subshell, or sublevel, each of which is designated by a letter. An s orbital is spherical and a p orbital is dumbbell-shaped. The d and f orbitals have more complex shapes. The �rst main shell can hold only one s orbital; the second can hold one s and three p orbitals; and the third can hold one s, three p, and �ve d orbitals. In writing an electron con�guration using subshell notation, we give the shell number and subshell letter, followed by a superscript indicating the number of electrons in that sub-shell. The order of the shells and subshells can be remem-bered with a chart or by looking at the periodic table.

Green Chemistry Emphasis

71. Sulfuric acid is produced from elemental sulfur by a three-step process: (1) Sulfur is burned to produce sulfur diox-ide. (2) Sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen and a vanadium (V) oxide catalyst. (3) Finally, the sulfur trioxide is reacted with water to produce 98% sulfu-ric acid. Write equations for the three reactions.

72. When carbon dioxide mixes with water a weak acid called carbonic acid is formed. Will CO2 reduce the pH of the wa-ter, increase the pH of the water, or leave the pH of the water unchanged?

73. Suppose a certain company has an alkaline waste stream that requires 1 mL of concentrated HCl to neutralize 1 li-ter of waste. If that company chooses to switch to CO2 to neutralize their annual 1 million liter waste stream, how many liters of concentrated HCl are replaced annually by this choice?

74. Carbonated water (pure water in which CO2 is dissolved) has a slightly sour taste. What does this hint indicate about the pH of carbonated water?

75. An important type of chemical substance called an ester can be prepared by heating two chemicals in the presence of a strong mineral acid. No water is used in this reaction. Suggest a greener alternative to the strong mineral acid.

Clean Energy from Solar Fuels

as carbohydrates (Section 8.10). This photosynthetic reaction, which is essential to sustain life on the planet, relies on the ability of mol-ecules in the plant to split water using sunlight. Chemists are hoping to unlock the secrets of the leaf to develop “artificial photosynthesis,” which uses solar energy to produce hydrogen fuel from water.

In natural photosynthesis, plants employ many different mol-ecules to capture and convert solar energy. Chlorophyll molecules absorb part of the solar spectrum, giving a leaf its green color. To mimic this process, chemists are designing colorful synthetic dyes to

Principles 1, 6, 7, 9

Imagine a world powered by a clean fuel manufactured using sun-light and water that produces no carbon dioxide emissions when used. This has been the dream of chemists around the world, who have been working for many years to develop a “solar fuel” that might someday replace some of the fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) that are so important to modern society.

Sunlight is a free and abundant power source. The amount of solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface in one hour is as much as all of the fossil fuel energy humans use in one year. The goal for chemists is to develop efficient methods to capture just a tiny part of this sunlight and convert it into a useful form. Of course, the most common approach is to convert solar energy into electricity using solar panels, devices constructed from photovoltaic cells that are usu-ally made of silicon. But sunshine is intermittent, so this solar electric-ity is only available on sunny days.

A different approach is to use the energy of sunlight to promote a chemical change, converting radiant solar energy into chemical energy in the form of fuel that can be stored and used even when the sun has gone down. One idea for a solar fuel is hydrogen. Using sun-light to make hydrogen is one of the grand challenges of chemistry.

A full hydrogen energy cycle uses solar energy to split water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) and then uses the hydro-gen as a clean fuel to produce either heat (when burned) or electric-ity (using a fuel cell). Splitting water requires energy input to break the chemical bonds that hold together the O and H atoms in water mol-ecules. One of the simplest ways to do this is by electrolysis (Section 3.1), which requires electrical energy. If the electricity is produced using a solar panel, then the hydrogen formed is a solar fuel. This

Clean energy cycle. Solar energy is used to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water (top). Hydrogen fuel reacts with oxygen to produce water and releases energy as either heat or electricity.

Learning Objectives Distinguish the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy in a solar cell from the conversion of solar energy into the chemical bond energy of a solar fuel. Explain why splitting water into the elements hydrogen and oxygen requires an energy input and why producing water by the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen releases energy.

critical thinkingIn order to help students improve their critical thinking skills, Chapter One introduces the principles used to test a claim (falsifiability, logic, replicability, and sufficiency; identified by the acronym FLaReS). Each end-of-chapter section reinforces their importance by including a section of Critical Thinking questions, allowing students to use these principles to test each of the claims. Instructors can assign Critical Thinking questions in MasteringChemistry, which provide wrong answer feedback to help students learn from their mistakes and ultimately gain a stronger grasp of the process of science.

Worked examplesWorked examples within each chapter guide students through the process of solvings particular types of problems. Examples are followed by one or more exercises allowing students to immediately check their problem-solving skills.

CRIT ICAL THINKING EXERCISESApply knowledge that you have gained in this chapter and one or more of the FLaReS principles (Chapter 1) to evaluate the following statements or claims.

3.1 Suppose you read in the newspaper that a chemist in South America claims to have discovered a new element with an atomic mass of 34. Extremely rare, it was found in a sample taken from the Andes Mountains. Unfortunately, the chemist has used all of the sample in his analyses.

3.2 Some aboriginal tribes have rain-making ceremonies in which they toss pebbles of gypsum up into the air. (Gypsum is the material used to make plaster of Paris

by heating the rock to remove some of its water.) Some-times it does rain several days after these rain-making ceremonies.

3.3 Some scientists think that life on other planets might be based on silicon rather than carbon. Evaluate this possibility.

3.4 You come across a website selling water made from only single isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen. A testimonial on the website claims that drinking only the isotopically pure water helps a person feel more refreshed throughout the day.

Example 3.1 Number of Neutrons

How many neutrons are there in the 235 92U nucleus?

SolutionWe simply subtract the atomic number Z (number of protons) from the mass number A (number of protons plus number of neutrons).

A - Z = number of neutrons235 - 92 = 143

There are 143 neutrons in the 235 92U nucleus.

EXERCISE 3.1AHow many neutrons are there in the 60

27Co nucleus?

EXERCISE 3.1BAn iodine isotope has 78 neutrons in its nucleus. What are the mass number and the name of the isotope?

Exercise A allows students to apply the problem-solving method just explained to a similar situation.

Exercise B prompts the student to combine the specific problem-solving method just taught with concepts learned in previous sections.

Applications

current and relevant ApplicationsEssays throughout the new edition focus on interesting, relevant applications to help students connect the chemistry covered in a particular chapter or section to the world around them.

it Does matter! Marginal boxes briefly discuss a specific application or phenomenon and show students how the material being studied relates to their world.

It DOES Matter!When light hits a photovoltaic “solar” cell, photons are absorbed, promoting electrons to excited states. Those excited state electrons are captured by the photovol-taic cell to produce an electrical current. Scientists are working to create new materials that will absorb more of the sun’s photons and more efficiently convert those photons into electrical energy. Scientists are also working on creating new materials that will lower the cost to make solar cells. Depending on where you live and how much sunlight you get, solar electricity may already be cheaper than the electricity you buy from the power company.

EmulsionsWhen oil and water are vigorously shaken together, the oil is broken up into tiny, microscopic droplets and dispersed throughout the water, a mixture called an emulsion. Unless a third substance has been added, the emulsion usually breaks down rapidly, as the oil drop-lets recombine and �oat to the surface of the water.

Emulsions can be stabilized by adding a type of gum, a soap, or a protein that can form a protective coating around the oil droplets and prevent them from coming together. Lecithin in egg yolks keeps mayon-naise from separating, while casein in milk keeps fat droplets suspended. Compounds called bile salts keep tiny fat droplets suspended in aqueous media dur-ing human digestion. This greatly aids the digestive process. The tiny emulsi�ed droplets provide a much greater surface area on which the water-soluble lipase enzymes can break down the triacylglycerides to glyc-erol and fatty acids.

▲ Many foods are emulsions. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat in water. The stabilizing agent is a protein called casein. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of vegetable oil in water, stabilized by egg yolk.

NEW! chemistry@HomeThe Chemistry@Home experiments located at the end of each chapter give students the opportunity to apply the information learned in each chapter through experimentation they can easily do at home.

Materials required Yeast (jar)

Large measuring cup: 2 cup or larger capacity Measuring spoons (teaspoon and tablespoon) 6 resealable plastic bags 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 tablespoon of sweetener (Equal®, Sweet'N Low®) 1 tablespoon of flour 2 breakfast cereal samples (each with sugar listed as

ingredient) Lukewarm water Paper towels (for clean-up)

What does yeast need to survive and thrive? Can yeast also di-gest arti�cial sweeteners and �our?

Yeast is most commonly used in the kitchen to make dough rise. Have you ever watched pizza crust or a loaf of bread swell in the oven? Yeast makes the dough expand. But what is yeast exactly and how does it work? Yeast strains are made up of living eukaryotic microbes, meaning that they contain cells with nuclei and are classified as fungi. In this experiment, we will watch yeast come to life as it breaks down sugar, also known as sucrose, through a process called fermentation.

To begin, create a data table for your experiment results. The data table should include columns for 6 bags, their contents, and your observations. Label bags 1 through 6.

Bag 1 will be your control.--To bag 2, add 1 tablespoon of sugar.--To bag 3, add 1 tablespoon of sweetener (Sweet’N Low®

or Equal®).--To bag 4, add 1 tablespoon of flour.--To bag 5, add 1 tablespoon of breakfast cereal A, crushed.--To bag 6, add 1 tablespoon of breakfast cereal B, crushed.

Next add 14 cup of lukewarm water and 2 teaspoons of yeast to each bag.

How Sweet It Is to Be Fermented by You!

▶ Figure 2

Carefully, without spilling any of the contents, squeeze out as much air as possible and seal each bag. Put the bags in a warm place for 20 minutes. (Either a window or a large bowl with warm water works well.) Observe the bags periodically. After 20 minutes, remove the bags from the warm place and observe them.

▶ Figure 3

What changes have occurred? Which bag has grown in size the most?

To measure the volume of the bags, fill the large measuring cup with 1 cup water and lower the bag into the large measur-ing cup. To find the estimated volume, you will use displacement measurement. Record the volume of the water with the bag in it and subtract the initial starting volume of 1 cup of water to obtain your volume. (Don't forget to account for any volume change of your control bag.)

Materials Required 2 lemons

2 kiwis Copper wire (or a penny) Zinc strip (galvanized nail) Voltmeter 2 connection wires with alligator clips A 2 milliamp, 1.5 volt diode (LED)

Can fruits make electricity? Do you think comparing lemons and kiwis will show how redox reactions work?

In this experiment, you will compare a lemon and a kiwi. Both the lemon and kiwi have juicy and acidic characteristics that make for the exact properties needed in a conductive solution, or electrolyte, which is any acid, base, or salt solution that is rich in ions. The chemical bath within these fruits allows the transference of electrons from different elements and, thus, makes a single cell electric battery. This means the charge “wants to” move from one metal to the other—creating electric potential.

Begin by gathering your supplies. Start by squeezing the fruit gently so the juice goes to the middle. Be careful not to burst the skin.

Connect the copper to the other side of the diode, and con-nect the zinc to the side of the diode with the metal strip. (Figure 4)

Predict what will happen next. Record the amount of time it took to light up and the amount of time it was on. Repeat for the other fruit and compare your results.
