Quiz over lab equipment and safety Mr. Hutto's Chemistry Class
This chemistry study guide covers lab equipment and safety for an upcoming quiz. It lists various pieces of common lab equipment like beakers, flasks, test tubes, Bunsen burners, and items used for measuring and transferring chemicals. The document also includes a short safety reminder and notes that the safety questions on the quiz should be straightforward.
Take Home Quiz on Analytical Chemistry
This document provides data from a gas chromatography experiment analyzing the peaks of pentafluorobenzene. It includes the relative retention times and peak areas of pentafluorobenzene and an internal standard, as well as calibration curves constructed from these data. It directs the student to calculate linear regression statistics, determine concentrations from the calibration curves, and calculate standard deviations. The key information is that relative retention times and peak area ratios to an internal standard were used to identify an unknown compound and calculate its concentration through linear calibration curves.
Organics Quiz
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules that are important to living things. These organic molecules contain hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and are made up of monomers that can polymerize to form polymers. Examples of important organic molecules include monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, and galactose; disaccharides like sucrose, lactose, and maltose; and polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Lipids are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, and can be saturated or unsaturated. Proteins are made of amino acids connected by peptide bonds, and serve important functions in the body.
Laboratory Equipment
This document lists and defines common pieces of laboratory equipment used in science experiments, including Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, pipettes, funnels, burners, balances, and other tools for measuring, heating, filtering, and testing chemical substances. It provides both the Spanish and English names for over 20 basic lab devices to familiarize students with the equipment they will use in their science studies.
Chemistry quiz
The document contains a chemistry quiz with questions about various chemical elements, compounds, and materials - including the measure of radioactivity (curie), the gas inside light bulbs (argon), the universal solvent (water), the liquid metal at room temperature (mercury), and the densest known gas (radon). It asks about the constituents of natural gas and petroleum, metals, acids, alloys, and other substances commonly found in batteries, antiseptics, poisons, and drinks.
