UT Online High School Chemistry A Final Exam
Thorough Review 2022 with complete solution
Accuracy >>>>how close a measurement is to the true value
dependent variable >>>>changes in response to the independent variable (what you
measure in an experiment and what's affected during the experiment)
Hypothesis >>>>a proposed explanation for an observation
Independent variable >>>>(often denoted by x) doesn't depend on something else
Scientific notation >>>>how scientists handle large or small numbers
Significant Figure >>>>all the nonzero digits of a number and the zeros that are
included between them or that are final zeros and signify accuracy
SL unit for mass >>>>based on meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, and mole w/
set of prefixes to indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten
Theory >>>>well-supported explanation that's been repeatedly tested
Aristotle >>>>laid the foundation for science (constructed an explanation for his
observations of falling objects)(only made logical assumptions from observations)
Galileo >>>>tested his theories
(T/F) Science cannot prove anything 100% >>>>(true) science cannot prove anything
100%
Science >>>>Process that follows rules/procedures to answer questions about the
natural world
How many new experiments does it take to disprove a theory? >>>>It takes one new
experiment to disprove a theory
The scientific method is an ___ process >>>>The scientific method is an ONGOING (or
fluid) process
Scientific Method Steps >>>>Observe, hypothesis, test hypothesis, make conclusion,
report result
precision >>>>How close two measurements are to each otherWrite 7.7847 * 10^4 in standard notation w/ 2 sig figs >>>>78,000
Write 7.4 * 10^-2 in standard notation w/ 2 sig figs >>>>0.074
Physical properties >>>>associated w/ characteristics of molecules that can be tested
w/out changing the chemical make-up of compounds (magnetism, boiling point, melting
point, color, taste)
(T/F) Decomposition is considered a physical change >>>>False, decomposition is a
chemical change because molecules are changing
Chemical change >>>>Chemical reaction, chemical makeup is changed
Physical change >>>>When a substance's physical form is changed
