What is the difference between scientific notation and standard notation of numbers?
scientific notation is just a short way of writing a long number; standard form is just the number written out

When reading a graduated cylinder, you must read the ____1____ of the _____2____.
1. Bottom 2. Meniscus

Why do objects float or sink?
Objects float or sink because they are more dense (sink) or less dense (float) than the liquid they are in. They do not float or sink because they are heavy or light.

When are zeros significant?
When there is a zero between two non-zero numbers and when they are trailing and there is a decimal point.

Define the following: Substances Chemical Change Mixture Viscosity
Substances: Products that can be broken down by chemical methods Chemical Change: A change where a new form of matter is formed Mixture: Made up of two or more different substances. There are homogenous and heterogenous mixtures. Viscosity: Physical properties of liquids that describe how they flow

What is a proper measuring tool to measure mass?
Triple beam balance.

What does it mean to be buoyant?
Buoyancy means that the object in question has the same if not a very similar density as the liquid it is in.

What is the difference between sublimation and deposition?
Sublimation is when there is a direct phase change from a solid to a gas. Deposition is when there is a direct phase change from a gas to a solid.

When reading a triple beam balance, how do you calculate the total mass?
You add up the different amounts on the rider beams.

What are the differences between the following properties: Extensive Intensive Physical Chemical
Extensive: Depends on the amount of matter Intensive: Depends only on the type of matter Physical: A property that can be observed and measured without changing the substance Chemical: A property that can only be observed by changing the type of substance

What is water displacement? How do you measure water displacement? What does this measurement mean?
Water displacement is the quantity of water displaced when a floating body is added to the vessel. You measure displacement by subtracting the final amount of water (after you add your object) from the starting amount of water (before you add your object). This measurement gives you the volume of the object in mL.
