Which of the following statements about hypothesis is false?


A. A hypothesis must be testable in a way that is replicable by others.


B. A hypothesis is an explanation for a natural phenomenon.


C. A hypothesis should be created when the outcome for its test is known.


D. A hypothesis is an educated guess about why something happens

C.

Choose the true statement


A. A hypothesis always leads to a scientific theory.


B. A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing.


C. To be called a hypothesis, an explanation must be tested by multiple independent researchers.


D. The theory is established first followed by the hypothesis.

B

Scientific method

The process that lies at the center of scientific inquiry

Theory

Is a set of tested hypothesis that give an overall explanation of some part of nature.

Chemistry

The science that deals with the materials of the universe and the materials that these materials undergo.

Matter

The stuff of which the universe is composed, the two characteristics are it has mass and occupies space.

Three stages of matter

Solid, liquid, gas

Solid

Rigid, has a fixed shape and volume

Liquid

Has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container

Gas

Has no fixed volume or shape; takes the shape and volume of its container

Physical properties

Boiling point, melting point, diamond is hard, a metal wire conducts electric current,

Chemical properties

Ability to format new substances, wood burning, rusting of steel, digestion of food, growth of grass in our yard.

What state of matter is this?

Liquid

What state of matter is this?

Solid

What state of matter is this?

Gas

Classify each as a chemical or physical change


A. Milk turns sour


B. Wax is melted over a flame and them catches fire and burns

A. Chemical


B. Chemical

Elements

Cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical means.

Compounds

Substances that have the same composition no matter where we find them. They are made out of elements and therefore can be broken down into elements through chemical changes. Example, water.

Mixture

Can be defined as something that has variable composition. Ex, wood is a mixture, wine is a mixture, coffee, and groundwater.

Pure substance

Always has the same composition. Pure substances are either elements or compounds. Pure water is a compound. Groundwater is a mixture.

Solution

Another word for mixture

Heterogeneous mixture

Contains regions that have different properties from those of other regions. Ex, when we pour sand into water, there will be an area that's mostly water and one that's mostly sand.

Homogenous mixture

Is the same throughout. Ex, when we pour salt into water, all the regions of the mixture have the same properties.

Identify each as pure substance, homogenous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture.


A. Gasoline


B. Stream with gravel at the bottom


C. Air


D. Brass


E. Copper metal

A. Homo


B. Hetero


C. Homo


D. Homo


E. Pure

Distillation

The process of boiling water to turn it to steam, and it condenses to pure water

Is there a difference between a homogenous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen In a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor?

Yes, a mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen is composed of 2 types of molecules. A sample of water vapor contains only 1 type of molecule, h2o. Even if there is 2 times as much hydrogen gas as oxygen gas in the sample, the molecules of h and o2 are distinct, whereas the 2h and o atoms in water are connected(bonded).

Are all physical changes accompanied by chemical changes? Are all chemical changes accompanied by physical changes? Explain.

No. Physical changes are not necessarily accompanied by chemical changes. However chemical changes are always accompanied by physical changes.

_______ has a fixed shape and volume.

Solid

Matter in the ______ state has no shape and fills completely whatever container holds it.

Gas

Which of the following represents a chemical change?


A. Frying an egg


B. Diluting orange juice


C. Sublimation of dry ice


D. Molding melted silver

A. Frying an egg

How can you tell that a physical change has taken place?

The properties of the starting and ending materials are the same.

What is the difference between a hypothesis and a scientific theory?

A hypothesis is a tentative proposal and a theory is a tested proposal.

What is the difference between a scientific theory and a natural law?

A theory explain s behavior and a law states a measure able relationship.

Proton (p+)

Positively charged subatomic particle found In the nucleus of the atom.

Neutron (n)

Neutral subatomic particle found in the nucleus.

Electron(e-)

Negatively charged subatomic particle found outside the nucleus.

Memorize the blue part

If the number is a whole number move the decimal to the____

Left

If the number is a decimal move the decimal point to the _____

Right

If the decimal is moved to the right the exponent is_____

Negative

If the decimal is moved to the left the exponent is _____

Positive
