(a)
Interpretation: Some observations about a box are given. Based on these observations, the model for the interior mechanism of the box is to be constructed. Also, the further experiments to refine the model are to be stated.
To determine: The model for the interior mechanism of the box constructed based on the given observations.

- Why is the ability to solve problems important in the study of chemistry? Why is it that the method used to attack a problem is as important as the answer Lo the problem itself?arrow_forwardThe mineral fluorite contains the elements calcium and fluorine and can have various colors, including blue, violet, green, and yellow. (a) What are the symbols of these elements? (b) How would you describe the shape of the fluorite crystals in the photo? What can this tell us about the arrangement of the particles (ions) inside the crystal?arrow_forwardAs part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown. You set up a device that counts the ears passing through this intersection for a 24-hr period during a weekday. The graph of hourly traffic looks like this. a. At what time(s) does the highest number of cars pass through die intersection? b. At what time(s) does the lowest number of cars pass through die intersection? c. Briefly describe the trend in numbers of cars over the course of die day. d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day. e. Provide a possible experiment that could test your hypothesis.arrow_forward
- Which of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forwardThere are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.arrow_forwardDefine distillation and explain the theory and applications of distillation. Please answer at your own easy words.arrow_forward
- There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change. Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.arrow_forwardDuring the production of pure iron, limestone and coke are used. What are their purposes? (Inorganic Chemistry)arrow_forwardPURIFICATION OF WATER This is an experimental set-up for the purification of water experiment. State uses of each labeled parts in relation to te purification of water experiment.arrow_forward
- From your initial observations, you suspect that the two beakers contain the same compound. Describe, in general terms, some experiments in a laboratory that you could do to help prove or disprove that the beakers contain the same compound. would it be easier to prove that the compounds are the same or to prove that they are different? Explain your reasoningarrow_forward1. These are components of a sample that is of interest to the chemist, usually taken as a representative of a bigger sample.A. Aliquot portion B. Analyte C. Distillate D. Assay2. The Mercaptan content of household gas supplies is monitored continually to ensure that the gas has a sufficiently obnoxious odor to warn of dangerous leaks, what analytical method should be applied to ensure this feat? A. Gravimetric B.Spectroscopic C.Volumetric D. Electroanalytical 3. A branch of chemistry that deals on the analysis, techniques of instrumentation and data interpretation of experimental results.A. Physical Chemistry B. BiochemistryC. Analytical ChemistryD. Inorganic Chemistry4. It is a chemical classification that can be used for general procedures that require stringent quality specifications and a purity of ≥95%.A. Laboratory gradeB. ACS gradeC. Technical gradeD. Special purpose5.These are balances that have a maximum loading of 10 to 30 g with a precision of 60.01 mgA.…arrow_forwardA pure substance A is found to change upon heating into two new pure substances B and C. Substance B, but not substance C, undergoes reaction with oxygen. Based on this information we definitely know that ____. A. substance A is a compound and C is an element. B. Both A and B are compounds. C. is a compound and C is an element. D. A is a compound. Vanillin contains 63.15% C, 5.30% H, and 31.55% O whether it is extracted from vanilla beans, synthesized chemically from clove oils, or extracted from wood pulp wastes. Vanillin is most likely to be: A. homogenous mixture of elements B. heterogeneous mixture of elements C. compound of C, H, and O D solution of C in H and O A solid melts gradually between 85°C and 95°C to give a milky, oily liquid. When a laser beam shines through the liquid, the path of the beam is clearly visible. The milky liquid is likely to be: A.heterogeneous mixture c. gaseous solution B.homogeneous mixture d. compound If you were…arrow_forward
