1. Summarize the observations you made when you observed the
intersecting circles and when you began to explore other pens, etc. Be
specific since this is the basis of the rationale for the experiment you
designed. Your descriptions of your observations will show your thought
process. (4 pts.)
During the experiment the termites preferred to follow the black
PaperMate pen line over the bic pen and the other pens we had tried. No
matter the shape of the line they preferred the Papermate, they even traced
over the words written in the black Papermate ink.
2. What was your research question? (2 pt.)
The question that my group was trying to answer, does the color of the pen
change the line the termites follow. Meaning, if we change out the bic pen with
a purple Papermate pen would the termites still prefer the black Papermate or
would they not care and they just preferred the brand.
3. Write out your hypothesis. Make sure that it is falsifiable, testable, and is
based upon your observations. Include your predictions. (3 pts.)
If termites follow the PaperMate black line and we place the termites in the
circles of the black and colored ink, then the termites will follow to the black
PaperMate line. Our predictions being the termites will prefer the black line
over the colored no matter the brand seeing as though the Papermate is the
correct shade that the termites will follow.
4. Use complete sentences/paragraphs to describe your experimental
design. Include descriptions of your independent variables, dependent
variables, controls, constants, and replication. Use complete
sentences/paragraphs to explain how you set up and carried out your
experiment. Use enough detail that someone could replicate your
experiment if they desired. (5 pts.)
In this experiment we will Draw two circles that overlap in the middle
one circle black PaperMate the other Purple PaperMate. Place 2 termites in
the middle of the diagram and observe what the termites follow and for how
long to falsify or support our hypothesis. We will be measuring the line the
termites spend the most time on. Our dependent variable is the amount of
time each of the termites spend on each line, our independent variable is the
purple PaperMate line because we are changing this variable whereas the
black PaperMate pen is controlled since it is staying consistent through the
whole experiment.
5. Summarize and describe the results of your experiment using complete
sentences/paragraphs. Include an image of a graph and/or table that
shows your results, including average values (not just raw data). (5 pts.)
During this experiment the termites always followed the black line and never
gave any attention to the purple line.
6. Draw conclusions. Indicate whether your hypothesis was supported or
refuted. Using complete sentences/paragraphs, provide evidence from
the data you collected to support your conclusions. (3 pts.)
This experiment supports our hypothesis with the results being the termites
seemed to follow the black PaperMate line over the purple PaperMate line
and ignored the purple line almost completely. More than 50% of the time the
termites spent their time on the black PaperMate line so we can infer that our
hypothesis is supported that the termites prefer the black PaperMate line.

7. Given more time, supplies, termites, etc., what would be your next
steps? Describe any new hypotheses, future directions, modified
experiments, etc. (3 pts.)
If I had more time and materials the first thing I would do would be to create a
bigger experiment while using markers of all different colors to test the theory
of the line thickness.
Hypothesis:
If the termites follow the skinny black line and we mark thicker lines then the
termites will most likely continue to follow the line that is skinnier.

2. Still sleepy from a late night studying, you take the milk out of the refrigerator and pour it on your
lemon juice to milk to make paneer (fresh cheese). As a group, craft a chemical explanation for the fact
of coagulated milk onto your cereal. The last time you saw milk coagulate like that was when you added
breakfast cereal. Unfortunately, by the time you notice the funny smell you have already poured clumps

Assume that vinegar is 5% acetic acid (by mass) at a density of 1.01 g mL-1. This means that 100 mL of vinegar you would have 5.05 g of acetic acid. Calculate the molar amounts of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate that you will use in this experiment.

Complete the table by entering the molarity of B2- for each standard solution. Show an illustrative calculation for tube ‘A’. Use the dilution formula and express each result to one more
digit than allowed by applying the rules of significant figures.
Standard Volume of stock B2-
solution taken, mL Molarity of dilute B2
Construct a graph of Absorbance vs. molarity of B2-
in Excel using the data in the preceding table. Make certain to title the graph and include axes labels with proper units. Absorbance is dimensionless (has no unit). Add a linear trendline to the graph but do not set the y-intercept to
zero
Solid M2B is added to 25 mL of water, the resulting mixture is continually stirred for 1 hour. At this point, it is assumed that equilibrium (eqn 3) has been established. The mixture is
transferred to a test tube, and the test tube is centrifuged to assure that any residual solid M2B is fully settled out.

Pictured are the two antacids used in this experiment. Note the information about tablets per dose, tablets per container, and cost per container written on the jars.
You can determine the volume of HCl neutralized per dose of antacid using the following formula:
In the Brand X titration, the mass of antacid sample was 0.486 g. When titrated, a total volume of 16.67 mL HCl was used. What was the volume of HCl neutralized per dose of Brand X? Do not include a unit with your answer.
TUMS antacid:
2 tablets / 500 mg dose
50 tablets / container
Cost: $4.98 / container
Brand X antacid:
2 tablets / 500 mg dose
40 tablets / container
Cost: $3.75 / container

A student performed the identical experiment to isolate Fe, NaCl, and SiO2 in a mixture. They performed every step correctly except they extracted with 10 mL of deionized water only once rather than the recommended four times.
a.) Will this error make the calculated mass percent of Fe, NaCl, and SiO2 accurate or inaccurate. Explain your answer.
b.) Will the calculated mass percents of Fe, NaCl, and SiO2 be higher or lower than the true values?
- Mass percent of Fe (HIGHER or LOWER) Must explain answer.
- Mass percent of NaCl (HIGHER or LOWER) Must explain answer.
- Mass percent of SiO2 (HIGHER or LOWER) Must explain answer.
