This action should be taken when you don’t understand a lab direction.

ask the instructor before proceeding

0.000 000 000 154 m can be expressed in this scientific notation form.

1.54 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

Boyle’s Law describes the relationship between volume and pressure in gases at constant temperature. This is how they are related.

pressure is inversely proportional to volume

200

Chemistry and its branches.

The study of matter, its properties, and interactions.

Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, Biochemistry, Theoretical.

200

This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, and the mass of reactants equals the mass of products.

conservation of mass

200

These must be worn anytime chemicals, heat, or glassware are used in the laboratory.

The significant figures in the values 0.00237 g, 0.5201 g, and 350.0 J are these.

3 SFs, 4 SFs, and 4 SFs

200

This phenomenon occurs because ice is less dense than liquid water due to its molecular structure.

why ice floats on water

300

The branch in which you learn to test the composition of blood.

Biochemistry

300

Examples of these types of changes include candle wax melting, water boiling, and sugar dissolving.

physical changes

300

Chemical waste should be disposed of in this manner after an experiment.

according to the instructor’s directions

These are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.

isotopes

400

The branch responsible for studying how water behaves under various pressures and temperatures

Physical Chemistry

This type of substance speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, without being consumed in the reaction.

a catalyst

500

The branch of chemistry that would study the crystal structure of iron

Inorganic Chemistry

500

This type of change occurs when bonds are formed, creating new compounds.

The difference between these two terms is: accuracy refers to closeness to the true value, and precision refers to consistency in repeated measurements.

accuracy and precision

At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water decreases due to this change in the atmosphere.

lower atmospheric pressure
