4. When water is heated to boil, tiny bubbles form on the bottom surface. What gas is inside the bubbles a) initially and b) at full boil?

5. a) If we have no frost or built up ice in a freezer and introduce water vapour into the freezer (by opening it on a humid day) what will happen?

b) Conversely, I once put a unwrapped snowball in my mother's freezer in January and by July it was almost shriveled in size to a small pea. What happened?.

6. People will often refer to the boiling point of water as 100°C. What is actually meant by this?

7. Some non-chemists have argued that the ocean must be less than 10 000 years old based on the following logic:

a) water carrying salts flows to the ocean from rivers running over mineral rich rocks
b) this water and mineral salt solution flows into the sea
c) only water evaporates from the oceans (the salt is left behind)
d) thus the salt concentration of the ocean should increase yearly and the measured salinity of the ocean is much less than if the ocean has been here for millions and billions of years.

Using LeChatelier's principle and the reversibility of dissolving and salt crystallization explain how to respond to this charge.

8. Consider the following reversible reaction:

N₂O_{4 (g)} → 2 NO_{2 (g)}
