The first element of the Periodic Table

What is Hydrogen

100

Matter is not created nor destroyed it is conserved

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass

100

The number of Hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water

What is the number 2

100

Chemists change these numbers placed in front of chemical formulas to balance an equation without changing the substances themselves.

What are coefficients

100

This variable is the one that the scientist deliberately changes or manipulates in an experiment.

What is the independent variable.

200

There are 7 of these in the periodic table

What are periods

200

In a chemical reaction the arrow generally means what is happening

What is the yield

200

If 10 grams of Reactant A completely reacts with 15 grams of Reactant B, this is the total mass of the resulting products.

What is 25grams of product

200

Changing these small numbers at the bottom right of a chemical symbol is strictly forbidden when balancing equations because it changes the substance's identity.

What are subscripts

200

This variable is the observed result or the data being measured in response to a change.

What is the dependent variable.

300

There are 18 of them in the periodic table

What are groups

300

The chemcials generally shown on the left side of the arrow

What are the reactants

300

50-gram log is burned completely, leaving behind 5 grams of ash. The remaining 45 grams of mass escaped into the air in this state of matter.

What is a gas

300

This is the missing coefficient needed to balance this equation: N2 + 3H2 --> _____ NH3 

What is the number 2 

300

When plotting experimental data on a standard line graph, this axis is where the independent variable belongs.

What is the x axis.

400

The man who is credited with devising the modern periodic table.

Who was Dimitri Mendeleev

400

In any chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must always equal the total mass of these.

What are the products

400

In the reaction (2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O), if 4 grams of hydrogen react completely with 32 grams of oxygen, this many grams of water are formed.

What is 36 grams

400

To satisfy the conservation of mass, the unbalanced equation CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O requires this coefficient in front of both  O2 and H2O.

What is the number 2 

400

If a technician tests three different brands of batteries in the exact same flashlight to see which lasts longest, the battery brand is this variable.

What is the independent variable

500

his element is the basis for all organic chemistry and known life on Earth.

What is Carbon.

500

To accurately prove this law in a lab setting, experiments must be conducted in this specific type of system where no matter can escape.

What is a closed system

500

A scientist mixes 12 grams of carbon with an unknown amount of oxygen to produce 44 grams of carbon dioxide. This was the mass of the oxygen used.

What is 32 grams

500

This is the fully balanced form of the synthesis reaction where aluminum reacts with oxygen gas:

 Al + O2 -->  Al2O3

What is 4Al + 3O2 --> 2Al2O3

500

The parts of the expereiment that do not change from one experiment to the other

What are the controls
