Concept explainers
Identify each activity, a to f. as an observation, a hypothesis. An experiment, or a conclusion.
Lucia wants to develop a process for dyeing shirts so that the color will not fade when the shirt is washed. She proceeds with the following activities:
a. Lucia notices that the dye in a design fades when the shirt is washed.
b. Lucia decides that the dye needs something to help it combine with the fabric.
c. She places a spot of dye on each of four shirts and then places each one separately in water, salt water, vinegar, and baking soda and water.
d. After one hour, all the shirts are removed and washed with a detergent.
e. Lucia notices that the dye has faded on the shirts in water, salt water, and baking soda. whereas the dye did not fade on the shirt soaked in vinegar.
f. Lucia thinks that the vinegar hinds with the dye so it does not fade when the shirt is washed.

- The Chemistry in Focus segment titled Dr. Ruth—cotton Hero discusses the enormous contribution of Dr. Ruth Rogan Benerito to the survival of the cotton fabric industry in the United States. In the discussion, it was mentioned that Dr. Benerito became a chemist when women were not expected to be interested in, or good at, scientific subjects. Has this attitude changed?
