By using estimation techniques, determine which of the following is the heaviest and which is the lightest: a 5-lb bag of potatoes, a 5-kg bag of sugar, or \(1 \mathrm{gal}\) of water (density \(=1.0 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\) ).
(a) What is the difference between a hypothesis and a theory? (b) Explain the difference between a theory and a scientific law. Which addresses how matter behaves, and which addresses why it behaves that way?
In the year 2011, an estimated amount of 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide \(\left(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\right)\) was emitted worldwide due to fossil fuel combustion and cement production. Express this mass of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) in grams without exponential notation, using an appropriate metric prefix.
Give the chemical symbol or name for each of the following elements, as appropriate: (a) carbon, (b) nitrogen, (c) titanium, (d) zinc, (e) iron, (f) \(\mathrm{P}\), (g) \(\mathrm{Ca}\), (h) \(\mathrm{He}\), (i) \(\mathrm{Pb}\), (j) \(\mathrm{Ag}\).
Two students determine the percentage of lead in a sample as a laboratory exercise. The true percentage is \(22.52 \%\). The students' results for three determinations are as follows: (1) \(22.52,22.48,22.54\) (2) \(22.64,22.58,22.62\) (a) Calculate the average percentage for each set of data and state which set is the more accurate based on the average. (b) Precision can be judged by examining the average of the deviations from the average value for that data set. (Calculate the average value for each data set; then calculate the average value of the absolute deviations of each measurement from the average.) Which set is more precise?
