This article is written from the point of view of a student in an introductory chemistry class for nonmajors. The student poses a long list of questions while going through his or her daily routine to prepare to go to class. Each question can be answered by the knowledge that would be gained in the class.
This article is of general interest to chemistry instructors because it addresses an important question posed by students to instructors of chemistry (probably) since time immemorial, "Why do I have to study chemistry?" It could be used as a culminating activity for an introductory chemistry class for nonmajors. Students would prepare a written report in which they use their knowledge of chemistry to answer each of the questions posed in the article.
