Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Dissolved substances move randomly through a solution due to diffusion. These substances do,
however, move from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentrations. Eventually, the result
of diffusion is an evenly distributed, homogenous solution. Information can be found in the section
Water Is a Powerful Solvent.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although the pH can vary in particular regions and depths of the ocean, the average pH is 8.0. The
amount of carbon dioxide can have large impacts on the pH levels. The range of pH found in the ocean
is approximately 7.0 to 8.5. Information can be found in the section The Ocean's Acid-Base Balance
Varies with Dissolved Components and Depth.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved Risperdal, an adult antipsychotic drug, for the symptomatic treatment of irritability in children and adolescents with autism. The approval is the first for the use of a drug to treat behaviors associated with autism in children. These behaviors are included under the general heading of irritability and include aggression, deliberate self-injury, and temper tantrums.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.

The first documented use of surgical anesthesia in the United States was in Connecticut in 1844.
