I grew up with buckets, shovels, and nets waiting by the back door(1); hip-waders hanging in the closet; tide table charts covering the refrigerator door; and a microscope was sitting(2) on the kitchen table. Having studied, my mother is(3) a marine biologist. Our household might have been described as uncooperative(4). Our meals weren’t always served in the expected order of breakfast, lunch, and supper. Everything was subservient to the disposal of(5) the tides. When the tide was low, Mom could be found down on the mudflats. When the tide was high, she would be standing on the inlet bridge with her plankton net.

According to Tables 1 and 2, as the mass of successive sucrose samples increased, the change in the water temperature produced when the sample was burned most likely:

increased only.

decreased only.

increased, then decreased.

remained the same.

Based on the data in Table 2, one can conclude that when the mass of sucrose is decreased by one-half, the amount of heat released when it is burned in a bomb calorimeter will:

increase by one-half.

decrease by one-half.

increase by one-fourth

decrease by one-fourth.

Based on the information in Tables 1 and 2, the heat released from the burning of 5.0 g of potato in a bomb calorimeter would be closest to which of the follow- ing?
