  1. 1 Easy

    What does pure methane smell like?

    Answer: Nothing

    What process makes mothballs shrink without melting?

    Answer: Sublimation

    Which cooking oil has the highest iodine value?

    Answer: Flaxseed oil

    Why: A high iodine value marks oils rich in polyunsaturated fats that cross-link and harden during polymerization.

  4. 4 Easy

    What gas fills most bags of potato chips?

    Answer: Nitrogen

    Why: Oxygen would turn the chips' oil rancid, but nitrogen leaves it alone and doubles as a cushion against crumbs.

    Which dissolved metals make tap water hard?

    Answer: Calcium and magnesium

    Why: A major part of soap scum is calcium stearate, formed when hard water's calcium takes the place of sodium in soap.
