Learning Goal: To understand how the scientific method can be used to search for explanations of nature. The scientific method is a procedure used to search for explanations of nature. The scientific method consists of making observations‚ formulating hypotheses‚ designing and carrying out experiments‚ and repeating this cycle. Observations can be either quantitative or qualitative. Quantitative observations are measurements consisting of both numbers and units‚ such as the observation that ice melts

The importance of water in Biological Systems Much of the Earths surface is comprised of water‚ as well as much of biological systems; for instance‚ the human body consists of approximately 70% of water‚ and in other biological organisms this figure could even be 95%. This largely relies on the bonding of water‚ whereby two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom; hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force due to its high polarity. Hence‚ what is the biological importance of water?

decrease in the entropy of the system. One example of a process that approaches being isentropic are the rapid depressurization of gas in a cylinder. The entropy of the system remains in constant. Entropy is a type of energy (like heat‚ work‚ and enthalpy) and is by definition energy which is lost in a process. If a process is both reversible and adiabatic‚ then it is an isentropic process. An isentropic process is an idealisation of the expansion process which assumes there is no

Experiment 1 Separation of Mixtures Summary of Principles: Most of the materials we encounter in everyday life are not pure substances. Many materials such as sand are formed from physical combination of various substances‚ and are called mixtures. Mixtures can be classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous. The purpose of this lab is to learn how to separate individual components from a mixture through decantation‚ filtration‚ distillation‚ and crystallization. Pre-Lab Questions: Attached

light‚ or sound. These are exothermic reactions. Exothermic reactions may occur spontaneously and result in higher randomness or entropy of the system. They are denoted by a negative heat flow (heat is lost to the surroundings) and decrease in enthalpy. In the lab‚ exothermic reactions produce heat or may even be explosive (Helmenstine‚ 2017).” An example of exothermic reactions would be “So boiling water is an endothermic experience. But when the same water starts letting out heat and begins
