Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Compounds are formed when there are two or more elements contained in a molecule. Since carbon
dioxide contains both carbon and oxygen it is considered a compound. Water is another example.
Information can be found in the section The Water Molecule Is Held Together by Chemical Bonds



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Sensible heat loss is the detectable decrease in heat. This is measured by thermometers. As the liquid
begins to change into a solid the decrease in temperature is undetectable until all of the liquid has
phase changed. Information can be found in the section Water Has Unusual Thermal Characteristics.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
