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
13.Use scientific notation to express the number 0.000327730 to three significant figures
.
3.28 X 10^-4
14.How many significant figures are in the number 0.003730?
4
15.Considering the rules of significant figures when adding/subtracting and multiplying/dividing, solve the following problem to the correct number of significant figures
. (5.1 + 24.5443) / (3.77)^2
2.08
16.The mathematical comparison
of your experimental results to a known value is known as:
Percent error
17.When calculating percent error, the equation includes two variables: the experimental value and the theoretical value (sometimes called the actual value).
Consider from where these values come. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the theoretical value?
The theoretical value is the known, accepted value for the experiment
18.During the course of an experiment, a student recovers 5.1 grams of product. The student determined that the reaction should’ve yielded 6.0 grams of product. What is the percent error
in this experiment?
15%

O MEASUREMENT
Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements
A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration of a solution equals the mass
of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution.
Here's how the student prepared the solution:
• The label on the graduated cylinder says:
empty weight: 1.5 g
• She put some solid sodium hydroxide into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium hydroxide added, the cylinder weighed 36.669 g.
• She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium hydroxide completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the
markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 37.11 mL.
What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements
A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The concentration of a solution
equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution.
Here's how the student prepared the solution:
• The label on the graduated cylinder says:
empty weight: 4.200 g
• She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added, the cylinder weighed
71.0 g.
• She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution
from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 133.0 mL.
What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

A teacher tells students to describe physical properties of 10 mL of
vinegar and 10 mL of milk. When the students finish listing the physical
properties in their science notebooks, the teacher pours the vinegar and
milk into the same beaker. The students are surprised to see a white solid
substance form within the beaker as the two substances are combined.

A A chemical change that produces a precipitate
B A physical change that creates a new substance
C A physical combination that produces a solid
D A corrosive reaction between two liquids

1. Several students performed this experiment without paying adequate attention to the details of the procedure. Briefly explain what effect each of the following procedural hanges would have on the size of the volume- to- temperature ratio calculated by the students.
(a) One student failed to replenish the boiling water in the boiling- water bath as the flask was being heated. At the end of the 6 min of heating, the boiling water in the bath was only in contact with the lower portion of the flask.
(b) Following the proper heating of the flask in the boiling water, a student removed the flask from the boiling- water bath but only partially immersed the flask in the ice-water bath during the cooling period.
(c) A student neglected to close the pinch clamp before removing the flask from the boiling water bath and immersing it in the ice-water bath.
(d) One student neglected to measure the volume of the flask before leaving the laboratory. Because the procedure called for a 125-mL…

The solvent moves 3 cm in about 10 minutes. Why shouldn't the experiment be stopped at that time instead of waiting 75 minutes for the solvent to move 10 cm?
Question 3 options:
More time increases the concentration of mixture components.
More time allows for better separation of components in a mixture.
More time decreases the concentration of mixture components.
Instructors don't like students to be finishing their labs too quickly.
