Question

B

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by Professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and midterms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before the final, despite the chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Vir?ginia to party with some friends.

They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers(宿醉)and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.

Professor Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happy and relieved> studied that night and went into the classroom the next day at the time that Professor Bonk had told them. He placed them ！n separate rooms and handed each of them a test book?let. He told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solu?tion (溶 液). It was worth 5 points. Cool，"they thought, "this is going to be an easy final". They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words ： Which tire? (95 points)
