Week 1 Lab
: Introduction to Science Question Set (Use as Study Guide)
1.
Which of the following could NOT be revealed by experimental data?
The hazard warnings for the chemicals used in the experiment (the safety and hazard information for every chemical in an experiment should be looked up at read PRIOR to beginning the lab.)
2.
A general chemistry student performs an experiment in which two liquids are mixed and, as soon as they meet, a white solid forms in the solution. Which of the following is a qualitative observation that could be derived from the result from this experiment? Choose all that apply
.
The solid formed is white
The solid forms quickly after the liquids are mixed (both are qualitative
observations that could be derived from the result of this experiment)
3.
All of the following are general rules which should be followed during an experiment EXCEPT:
There must always be quantitative data
(CORRECT! This statement is not always true. The result of an experiment may be qualitative)
4.
Match the term with the best definition of the term.
Independent variable
– a variable in an experiment that is changed by the scientist and is used to construct a hypothesis
dependent variable
– a variable in an experiment whose value depends on that of another variable
control
– a factor in an experiment that could affect the results of the experiment but
do not reflect the planned changes
variable
– a defined, measurable component of an experiment
5.
True
or False
. Multiple independent variables can be tested in a single experiment.
False (if multiple variables are manipulated in an experiment, it is not clear
which variable causes the experimentally observed results)
6.
A study is being done to test the effects of habitat space on the size of fish populations. Aquariums of various sizes are set up with six goldfish in each one. Over a period of six months, the fish are fed the same type and amount of food. The aquariums are equally maintained and cleaned throughout the experiment. The temperature of the water is kept constant. At the end of the experiment the number of surviving fish are surveyed. What is the
independent variable
?
The sizes of the aquariums
7.
Suppose you conduct one experiment and find that the E = mc^3, rather than the
historically accepted formula E = mc^2. What should
you do next?
Repeat the exact same procedure
8.
Which of the following is NOT
a true statement about a “hypothesis?”
Scientists create hypotheses without considering existing data
9.
True
or False
. A testable hypothesis (or question) asks how the dependent variable has an effect on the independent variable.
False
10.When running an experiment, it is recommended that the experimenter conduct multiple trials. Select all the benefits of repeating trials in an experiment. Choose all that apply
.
A qualitative or quantitative conclusion can be drawn from the data
A scientist is able to determine rather the results of an experiment, as a whole, show consistency
A decision can be made whether the results support or contradict the
initial hypothesis
11. What does the prefix “
kilo
”- mean?
1000.0
12.Which of the following correctly
expresses 0.000000000172 in scientific notation?
1.72 X 10^-10

Can you please help with question 5?
Add one teaspoon of boiling water to an effervescent aspirin tablet. Stir with a teaspoon. If it doesn’t dissolve completely, add another half teaspoon of boiling waterand repeat until the tablet has fully dissolved. ( will probably require less than 15 ml for a 300 mg tablet) When it appears that most of the tablet has dissolved, butthere are some solid particles, heat the mug in a microwave for 10 second increments until the water came to the boil (approx. 3x) and all of the solid particlesdissolved. Leave the solution to cool to room temperature and then place in a fridge and observe if crystals form.• Questions to ask:1. What might the fizzing bubbles be?2. Can you give a chemical explanation?3. Can you write a chemical reaction equation with aspirin reacting with something to give a gas and aspirin in another form?4.

Ms. Tan came to the laboratory for blood tests because her physician suspected renal disease. The tests ordered were serum BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes. The blood specimen was obtained and processed. When the laboratory scientist received the serum to perform the tests, he noticed that the serum had a reddish tinge.
What factor/s could cause this to happen to a serum specimen?
2. Is the sample acceptable for use? Elaborate your answer
3. What are the advantages of using plasma compared to serum in chemical analyses?

Five modern United States pennies are measured three times each on a balance, and their measured masses are compared to the actual mass of a penny (2.5000 grams according to US Mint).
a. When looking at the precision of the balance, which would be more ideal: one relative standard deviation value for fifteen measurements or five relative standard deviation values for the five pennies?
2. What is the relationship between solubility and density? Why is it important to consider the solubility of substances when determining their densities?
3. Why is it ideal to use only 10 mL or greater of a liquid when calculating for density?
4. Assume you have stacked 5 liquids on top of one another in a column. Each liquid (3 mL) has varying densities. What will happen to the densities of the liquids if the volume of each increased?
5. What does percent error indicate: quality of instrument (refer to the balance and penny example in Problem #1) or quality of penny? Why?
