Cloning does not change the genetics of the breeds as it literally copies all genes from the original source. This includes all the defects/mutation that are present in the cloned dog. When breeding occurs, there will be variation to the genes and a better combination of genes may be formed. |

PROS: CONS: Yes, we would accept cause saving the life of the citizens is more important. Though there will be after effects of using it. |

a. CnH2nOn≡Cn(H2O)n b. Please refer to the hardcopy. (or http://tinypic.com/r/2qxrwgg/9) c. No. Sweetness is determined by the receptors in our tongue. the strength depends on how many or how long those receptors are opened. Different isomers have different stereoisomerism, thus different activity to the receptor. |

It is impossible to go chemical-free as the consumption of food triggers a range of chemical activities in our body. The word ‘chemical’ often denotes a molecular compound and all food are composed of molecular compounds. Therefore, you can only have an “all organic” diet only. |

a. Exothermic process. Heat is released as it feels hot when one stands near it. b. Endothermic process. Water absorbs heat from body to evaporate from the skin. c. Endothermic process. Ice absorbs heat energy from the environment to break the intermolecular bonds in order for it to melt. |

2.
Explosion happens when the reactant being a solid turns into gas as the product through a reaction. This gas produced cause a sudden increase in volume which in turn becomes an explosion. |
|
3.
Temperature is a quantitative measurement of heat present in the surroundings while heat is a form of internal energy that is felt by oneself. |

4.
a. Gasoline has 98% isooctane and 2% heptane. b. Octane rating is the ratio for the comparison with a standard for the fuel but there is no part in the ratio that refers to oxygenates. If one wants to know if the fuel contains oxygenates, more analysis has to be done or to contact the supplier about it. |

1.
Desalination requires large amount of energy to operate and it is costly to operate as the output of drinking water is small as compared to the energy used. |
|
2.
Water-soluble vitamins are polar as it can form hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) that allow the vitamins to dissolve into the water. Fat-soluble vitamins are non-polar as it cannot form H-bonds with water due to it containing mostly hydrocarbon chains. |

a) Using a dryer requires electricity that is produced from burning coal to spin the turbines connected to a generator. Burning coal produces sulphur oxides (SOx) that will react with water in clouds to produce acid rain. b) It reduces the total vehicle exhaust produced as walk and biking does not produce any harmful emission and public transport decreases the amount of emission by decreasing the people to emission ratio. Vehicle emission consists nitrogen oxides (NOx) and SOx that will react with water to form acid rain. c) It helps in save electricity which in turns lowers the amount of SOx produced from the coal-powered power plants. Decrease in SOx in atmosphere, decreases the formation of acid rain. d) Adding insulation prevents heat from escaping into the surroundings and thus lowering the amount of electricity used. This indirectly decrease the SOx released from coal-powered power plants which decrease the formation of acid rain. e) It reduces the use of transportation as there is less need to import food which in turn reduces vehicle emissions of NOx and SOx. This will lead to a decrease in the formation of acid rain. |

a) Coal-fired plants produces SOx that will react with water in air to form tiny sulfuric acid droplets. They also produces soot and other particulates from the burning of coal. These droplets and particles form aerosols that do not absorb the sunlight they reflect, thus decreasing visibility. b) Acidity comes from the [H+] ions and pH is -log[H+], so an increase of 10 times in acidity is pH decreasing by 1. Since the normal pH of rain is around 5, the pH of rainfall in the park would be around 4. |
