CHEM 120 Week # 1 DQ 1 – Scientific Method and Calculations CHEM120 Week 1 Scientific Method & Calculations Let’s explore the scientific method. Here is the situation: We are planting a garden. We have a variety of bulbs & potted plants. We do not have any directions on how or when to plant each of these items. We do not have any gardening books, magazines, or access to the Internet (Oh, the horror!). We need to observe a number of characteristics for these plants. What are some...

Celsius formula - C= (F-32)/1.8 Kelvin formula - K=C+273.15 density formula and units - D (g/mL, g/L, Kg/m^3)= M (kg) / V (m^3, cm^3, L , mL) Precision - a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another Accuracy - how close a measurement is to the true value Law of Conservation of Energy - Energy cannot be created or destroyed kinetic energy formula - KE=1/2mv^2 Endothermic - Absorbs heat Exothermic - Releases heat pure substance - Cannot be purified,...

The metric prefix which means 0.01 (one-one hundredth) is centi How many meters are in 1 kilometer? 1000 The amount of matter in an object is its mass Which of the following has the largest density? 1.8 g object with a volume of 1.0 mL A piece of metal is believed to be either platinum (valuable) or nickel (not so valuable). One way to decide is to calculate the density. The piece of metal is found to have a mass of 156.485 g. The piece of metal has an odd shape, so geome...
