1) What is science?

Answer questions 2-4 with this information:

Enrique was going to cook hamburgers for a cookout on his gas grill, but he could not get the grill to light. Enrique thought about this problem for a moment, then shut the valve on the gas tank and removed it from the grill. He then put his ear close to the valve and turned it on while he listened for the hissing sound of gas coming out of the tank.

2) What was Enrique's objective?

3) What was Enrique's hypothesis?

4) What was Enrique's experiment?

5) What is 155 lbs in kg? Show your dimensional analysis. 1 lbs = 2.2 kg

6) What is 8.66 kg in lbs? Show your dimensional analysis. 1 lbs = 2.2 kg

7) What is 19.4 dag in lbs? Show your dimensional analysis. 1 lbs = 2.2 kg

To get a driver's license in Rhode Island, you must have at least 50 supervised driving hours and pass the RI DMV road test. On the road test, drivers are evaluated against 45 criteria, and must pass at least 36 criteria.

Above is a graph which shows the relationship between supervised driving hours and scores on the road test. Use this graph to answer the next three questions.

9) Based on this graph, what is the relationship between supervised driving hours and road test score?

10) Based on this graph, what is the independent variable?

Enrique thought about this problem for a moment, then shut the valve on the gas tank and removed it from the grill. He then put his ear close to the valve and turned it on while he listened for the hissing sound of gas coming out of the tank.

2) What was Enrique's objective?

To find out why the grill was not lighting.

3) What was Enrique's hypothesis?

Enrique hypothesized that the gas tank was empty.

4) What was Enrique's experiment?

Opening the valve and listening for the hissing sound of gas coming out of the tank.

) is a gas that can be dissolved in water. The graph above shows measurements of the amount of ammonia dissolved in water at different temperatures. Use this graph to answer the following questions.

15) What is the relationship described by the graph?

The amount of ammonia dissolved in water decreases with increases in the temperature of the water.

16) What is the slope of the line?

17) Interpolate the percent ammonia by weight in water at 80 °C.

30%

18) What would you extrapolate for the percent ammonia by weight in water at 110 °C.

15%

19) Extrapolations can be wrong. Why might this extrapolation be wrong?

Water enters into the gas phase at 100 °C, so no ammonia will be dissolved.

20) What is 5.7 g in hg?

0.057 hg

21) What is 12.55 dam in cm?

12,550 cm

22) Looking at the graduated cylinder above, what is the proper way to report the volume?

43.0 mL

23) What is the primary difference between exact and measured numbers?

The is no uncertainty about the value of an exact number, whereas there is uncertainty about the value of a measured number.
