Science Through the Eyes of a Wolverine

OK, I am giving you a week off as far as a “God Question” goes, but be prepared for a doozy next week. Some of you have made comments about “Why are we talking about God in chemistry class?” and “Why do you care what we think about God?” Here is my response…”Why wouldn’t I want to listen to what you have to say about God?” I realize that this is not “RELIGION” class but does God live outside religion class or outside church? We should not have a problem sharing our thoughts about God in any atomosphere. Think of it this way…”If we only talked about God in church or Religion class, how would anyone else ever hear about God and how great He is? So, be prepared to have more discussions about God in Chemistry class. Maybe this trend will pass to history class, math class, english class, etc.

Enough soap box time for me…on to this week’s question.

Explain in a minimum of 2, 5 sentence paragraphs the pros and cons to high electricity and high transportation usage of the average American. Could we live without using so much energy? How would life be different if we used less like solar power, wind power, geothermal energy, electric cars instead of gas and much more. Explain the convenience factor. Could Americans upset their lives of convenience for the preservation of our air quality? Does it matter?

As usual, there a quite a few questions. The goal is not for you to specifically answer each question, but they are given so that you have some direction in writing your response. I want you to think carefully about the questions and respond accordingly.

YOU WILL RECEIVE NO CREDIT THIS WEEK IF I DO NOT SEE TWO PARAGRAPHS WITH A MINIMUM OF FIVE SENTENCES EACH. I usually do not look for long drawn out answers, but some of you need to put a bit more thought into your answers, so we will start with 2 paragraphs and 5 sentences. It may increase from here.

Question 2: H2 was collected by water displacement from the reaction of 0.45g of zinc in excess nitric acid at 24C and an atmospheric pressure of 700mmHg. What is the molar volume of H2 gas produced according to this experiment? I need a summary of the math here.
