Scene 1)  

While walking barefoot down the creek, Kramer discovered that the mud on the bottom of the creek would become unsettled.  His friend, Newman explained to Kramer that the creek is an example of a __________ because stirring prevents the particles from settling.

            a)  alloy

            b)  homogeneous mixture                                                                

            c)  suspension

            d)  gaseous mixture

Scene 2)  

Exhausted by their quarter mile journey down the creek, Newman began to feel nauseous due to all the sweat dripping from his forehead to his mouth.  Newman was especially disgusted by the salty taste of his sweat.  Kramer explained to him that water is the __________ and the particles of salt are the __________ which fit into the __________ of the water.

            a)  solute, solvent, intermolecular spaces  

            b)  solvent, solute, intermolecular spaces

            c)  solvent, solute, air pockets

            d)  solute, solvent, air pockets

Scene 3)                                                                                                                                       When the two men arrived home from their hiking trip, Newman was rather dirty.  He took his shirt to the dry cleaners to have the sweat stains removed.  Embarrassed by his large amounts of sweat, he told the dry cleaners that he spilled gasoline all over his shirt.  When Newman picked up the shirt, the stains had not been removed.  Why?             a)  sweat is a polar mixture and the dry cleaners used a non-polar solvent to remove gasoline             b)  sweat is a non-polar mixture and the dry cleaners used a polar solvent to remove the gasoline             c)  sweat is a polar mixture and the dry cleaners used a polar solvent to remove the gasoline             d)  sweat is a non-polar mixture and the dry cleaners used water to remove the gasoline

Scene 4)                                                                                                                                                                     Realizing that he is tremendously out of shape, Newman decided to start taking vitamin supplements.  He began ingesting any vitamin he could get his hands on.  This could prove to be fatal it Newman...              a)  takes too many polar vitamins which dissolve in water             b)  takes too many polar vitamins which dissolve in fat tissue             c)  takes too many non-polar vitamins which dissolve in fat tissue             d)  takes too many non-polar vitamins which dissolve in water

Scene 5)                                                                                                                                                                               Concerned for the well-being of his friend, Kramer takes Newman on a vacation.  While they are in Florida, they do some deep sea SCUBA diving.  Once again, Newman was not in good enough shape to swim for very long.  In the middle of the dive, Newman decided to come to the surface so he could sit down and relax.  On the way to the surface, the nitrogen dissolved in his fat cells began to come out of solution into his blood stream.  [This is a very dangerous condition known as the bends.]  This happened to Newman because...             a)  the pressure was increased on the way to the surface             b)  the pressure was decreased on the way to the surface

Scene 6)  

Luckily, Newman was able to avoid death due to the quick thinking of Kramer who called for the paramedics.  On their flight home, Newman noticed that Kramer was able to dissolve 3 lumps of sugar in his coffee while Newman could only get 2 lumps to dissolve.  A possible explanation for this is...

            a)  Newman did not stir his coffee as much as Kramer

            b)  Kramer's coffee was hotter

            c)  Newman had larger crystals in his lump of sugar

            d)  all of the above are possible explanations

Scene 7)  

Kramer and Newman both ordered a salad with vinegar and oil dressing on the flight.  Kramer mixed some of his hard boiled egg in with the salad dressing.  Newman called him a fool and began rambling on about how eggs are not fit for human consumption.  Meanwhile, Newman could not get his dressing properly mixed while Kramer was nearly finished with his salad.  Kramer's salad dressing was mixed well because...

            a)  he shook it up more than Newman

            b)  the egg caused a reaction which produced enough heat so the dressing was mixed 

            c)  the protein in the egg acted as an exemplifying agent

            d)  the protein in the egg acted as a bridge between the polar and non-polar regions of the salad dressing

Scene 8)  

After eating a piece of lettuce with an excessive amount of vinegar on it, Newman reached for his Dr. Pepper.  He slammed down the entire can.  Shortly after, Newman felt less bloated than usual, especially since he drank an entire can in 10 seconds.  This could be due to the fact that...

            a)  there was less CO₂ dissolved in the drink because the pressure in the cabin was lower than normal

            b)  there was less CO₂ dissolved in the drink because the pressure in the cabin was higher than normal

            c)  there was more CO₂ dissolved in the drink because the pressure in the cabin was lower than normal

            d)  there was more CO₂ dissolved in the drink because the pressure in the cabin was higher than normal
