44
Q

In an attempt to understand what was causing mold to grow in her washing machine, a student guessed it was due to her brother’s dirty gym clothes. She designed an experiment where she did laundry without his clothes for a week. However, the mold continued to grow. Then, she considered that it might be because of excessive moisture in the washer and started leaving the door open after moving wet clothes to the dryer. This caused no new mold to grow. Which stages of the scientific method did she use in her investigation?

A

Hypothesis; experiment; conclusion

45
Q

Why would it be foolish to begin a scientific investigation with an experiment instead of a hypothesis?

A

The researcher wouldn’t know what data was needed to answer the question and would have a hard time devising a good experiment

46
Q

In the “real world,” scientists do not always exactly follow the scientific method. Why is this not problematic?

A

The scientific method is only a guideline or a model for doing science

47
Q

Your family adopted a dachshund puppy, and you want to chart its growth (length) over the first year of its life. Which is the best graph for displaying this data?

A

Line graph

48
Q

After analyzing this bar graph displaying inches of monthly precipitation in Chicago, which conclusion represents a correct interpretation?

A

November had twice as much precipitation as march

49
Q

A student was asked to turn in a pie chart for homework. For dinner, the family ordered a round pizza that had pepperoni on the left side and pineapple on the right. After taking a picture of the pizza, the student writes “Composition of Pizza” at the top, then indicates that each category is 50%. What makes this an appropriate pie chart? (Check all that apply.)

A

it has a title; it has at least two categories; the categories add up to 100%

50
Q

Which picture(s) represents a gas and why?

A

A, because the particles are far apart, and the sample has no definite shape or volume.

51
Q

Which statements are true about mixtures and compounds? (Check all that apply.)

A

both are made up of atoms; both can be separated

52
Q

Water is always made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. If you have two hydrogens and two oxygens, you have hydrogen peroxide. Both are made up of hydrogen and oxygen, but only one is safe to drink. This observation demonstrates which law?

A

law of constant composition

53
Q

A student is drinking 350mL of coffee from a mug that weighs 1000g. The coffee was made using 20 grams of coffee grounds and took about 10 minutes to brew. The temperature of the coffee is 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Which property of the coffee is intrinsic?

A

the temperature of the coffee

54
Q

Why is the SI system of measurement preferred by scientists? (Check all that apply.)

A

It’s easier to convert using prefixes based on decimals.

The SI system has defined quantities that are universally accepted.

55
Q

Which temperatures are equal? (Choose all the apply.)

A

-20 degrees Celsius

-4 degrees Fahrenheit

253.15 Kelvin

56
Q

Ice floats in water even though ice is water in the solid phase. What does this observation say about the densities of liquid water and solid water?

A

liquid water is denser than solid water

57
Q

What is the best way to ensure measurements are accurate and precise? (Check all that apply.)

A

Take several measurements and average the values.

Use good technique.

Ensure the instrument is calibrated correctly.

58
Q

A 5.00 mile bike ride is equivalent to 8.04 km. What is the length, in meters, using appropriate scientific notation?

A

8.04 x 103 m

59
Q

During a lab experiment, a student used two balances to obtain the mass of a sample before and after the experiment. To get the final result, the second mass was subtracted from the first. If the student measured 2.345 g of sample before and 2.0 after, what is the difference using appropriate significant figures?

A

0.3 g

60
Q

Use dimensional analysis to calculate how many eggs are in 1.20 dozens.

A

14.4 eggs

61
Q

The atomic radius of a carbon atom is 0.3 nm. Convert this length to meters.

A

3 x 10-10

62
Q

Why should the answer be rounded when measurements are combined?

A

The least certain measurement limits the certainty of the calculation.

63
Q

If a recipe calls for 20.0 ounces of sugar and one only has 0.500 kg, how much more sugar is needed?

A

67.0 grams

64
Q

Why can conversion factors be written as reciprocals? For example, why is 100 cm/1 m the same as 1 m/100 cm?

A

100 cm = 1 m; therefore, it’s really just 1/1.

A

2 × 109 seconds

71
Q

According to Tables 1 and 2, which would be more accurate: a 10 mL graduated cylinder or a 10 mL pipette?

A

The 10 mL pipette because it measures closest to 10 mL repeatedly.

pipette 250 mL

75
Q

According to the data in Table 3, which statement is the correct conclusion?

The smaller containers provided more accurate measurements.

76
Q

Comparing Tables 3 and 4, which statements are the most appropriate? (Choose all that apply.)
