What is the definition of chemistry?

The science of matter and change of matter.

100

The Universe is expanding, shrinking, or staying the same size.

What is expanding?

100

The sequence a medium size star go through in their life.

What is main sequence, red giant, planetary nebulae, and dwarf?

100

What is the "Raisin Bread" analogy?

A reference to the idea that the universe is expanding, and hubble's law.

200

What lab practices should be followed when open flames or chemicals are being used? List 3.

What is 100,000 light years?

200

What is the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry?

Organic chemistry has to do with carbon. Inorganic chemistry has to do with elements specifically not carbon.

200

The time in years ago the big bang occurred.

What is 13.7 billion years ago?

200

The type of star the size of Earth.

What is a dwarf star?

200

The life cycle group the Sun is currently classified in.

What is main sequence/ yelllow dwarf?

300

What chemical do you think Unknown 1 and Unknown 2 were? What is your evidence?

Unknown 1: Calcium

Unknown 2: Sodium

300

Alchemists were people who...

Turned common metals into gold, except not. They also practiced rudimentary versions of medicine.

300

All objects in the universe have this color light emission to varying degrees.

What is red shift?

300

The element that is created in main sequence stars, like our sun.

What is Helium

300

The universe is made of 75% Hydrogen and 24% Helium, but stars have only made 2% of this. How does the big bang theory explain how this happened?

The big bang fused hydrogen atoms together into helium, making much of the helium in the universe today.

 -For the bunsen burner lab, which part of the flame was the hottest? Why do you think this is?

The tip of the smaller blue cone in a double cone flame - the heat has a chance to concentrate here before dissipating to the room.

In order, describe if each of these chemicals are organic or inorganic.

1) C6H12O6

2) H2SO4

3HClO3


1) Organic 

2) Inorganic

3) Inorganic

400

The type of shift when objects are coming toward the Earth.

What is blue shift?

400

What cosmic events create elements up to carbon and oxygen?

What are red giant stars?

400

The color of a cool burning star vs the color of a hot burning star.

What is red / blue

500

In the flame test lab, why did we use the diffraction gradients? Many answers are sorta correct, but only detailed and accurate ones will be taken.

The diffraction gradients were used to split the light from the chemicals into their component 

500

Analytical chemistry is the study of different types of matter. What measurements did we use regarding analytical chemistry to determine that our gold pennies were not gold?

We compared the density of the penny with known values to debunk the gold penny hypothesis.

500

Another piece of evidence for the Big Bang Theory other than red shift.

Abundance of Helium in the universe

500

What elements are made in planetary nebulae, and what elements are made in supernovas?

Nebulae - up to Iron on the periodic table

Supernova - all elements up to Uranium, the heaviest element that is naturally occurring. 

500

How long does the Earth have until the sun begins to die, turns into a red giant, and engulfs the inner planets?

6 Billion Years.
