Where would you expect to isolate molecules in a petroleum fractionating tower that have the strongest intermolecular forces?
 
  A) near the bottom
  B) near the top
  C) near the middle
  D) Fractional distillation takes advantage of molecular weight.
  E) Fractional distillation takes advantage of the number of isomers.

Question 2

Why does ice form at the surface of a body of fresh water instead of at the bottom?
 
  A) Initial freezing requires the presence of air in order to form the ice lattice, thus the surface water will become solid first.
  B) Intermolecular forces are greater at the surface allowing the surface molecules to form the solid phase more quickly.
  C) Water near the freezing point of 0C is less dense than warmer water, and the colder water will float on the warmer water. This allows ice to form at the surface.
  D) All of the above are true.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
