Problem Solving:
//Map out the steps you would do to solve this problem.// As you are cleaning out a cabinet, you encounter an unknown solid. Before you can properly dispose of this item, you need to identify it.

1. Waft above it to see if there is an odor present. 2. Cut it in half. 3. Test a small amount of the unknown solid by trying to dissolve it in both an aqueous solution and oil solution. That way you could deduce if the solid was more hydrophobic or hydrophilic. (Keegan) 4.
