Identify the Controls and Variables
Mr. Jones wants to increase worker productivity.
A traveling salesman insists that his tonic will do
the trick.
Mr. Jones is desperate and buys out the
salesman.
However, Mrs. Jones is skeptical.
She
decides to test the tonic.
She creates two groups of 50 workers each in
different rooms of the factory.
They all have the
same supplies and are assigned the same task.
The
task is to wrap as many gift boxes of Tinker-
Toddler Tots as possible for the Charity Event.
Both groups begin at the same time.
Group A is given the special juice to drink while
they work. Group B is not given the special juice.
After four hours, Mrs. Jones counts how many
wrapped gift boxes each group completed.
Group A wrapped 287 packages
Group B wrapped 413 packages
Identify the:
1.
Control Group
-
Group B
2.
Independent Variable
-
Special juice
3.
Dependent Variable
-
Group A
4. What should Mrs. Jones' conclusion be?
-
Group B worked faster because they
didn’t have the tonic and was able to
concentrate more.
5. How could this experiment be improved?
This experiment can be improved more by
taking the time it takes for them to wrap one
gift and try doing it with the same age
group.
Kaylona’s family is coming to visit for the
holidays.
She noticed a slimy green film covering
the shower walls.
Her friend Betty suggested she
try the latest rage, apple cider vinegar.
Kaylona
trys to use natural cleaning products whenever
possible so she decided to test Betty’s suggestion.
She sprays one side of the shower with apple cider
Identify the:
6. Control Group
-
Shower sprayed with water only
7. Independent Variable
vinegar and the other side she sprayed with water
only.
After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in
the appearance of the green slime on either side of
the shower.
- Apple cider vinegar
8. Dependent Variable
-
Cleaning slimy green layer
9. What was the initial observation and
hypothesis?
-
Apple cider vinegar plays an important
role in the removal process of the slimy
green layer on the walls
10. What should Kaylona's conclusion be?
-
Apple cider vinegar is not useful in
cleaning the removal of the slimy green
layer.
10-year-old Benjamin loves Marvel comics.
He is
convinced
that mice exposed to radio waves will become
extra strong (maybe he's been reading too much
Radioactive Man).
He decides to perform an experiment.
He placed
10 mice near a loudly playing radio and he put 10
mice in another room where the radio could not be
heard.
After 5 hours he compared the strength of each
mouse from both groups of mice by placing a
heavy block of wood between the mice and their
food.
He found that 8 out of 10 of the radio waved mice
were able to push the block away. 7 out of 10 of
the other mice were able to do the same.
Identify the:
11. Control Group
-
Mice not exposed to radio waves
12. Independent Variable
-
Radio waves
13. Dependent Variable
-
Strength of mice
14. What should Benjamin's conclusion be?
-
Radio waves play an important role with
the strength of the mice.
15. How could Benjamin's experiment be
improved?
-
By using the same mice and having them
around the same weight.
Larry loves practical jokes.
The joke shop sent
him a message about a new itching powder.
The
advertisement claimed that it was the newest, best
thing on the market, it even claimed to cause 50%
longer lasting itches. Interested in this product,
Larry bought the itching powder.
He couldn’t wait to try it out on his brother and
compare it to his usual product.
One test subject (his brother) is sprinkled with the
original itching powder, and another test subject
(his sister) was sprinkled with the new itching
powder.
Larry’s sister only scratched and wiggled for about
45 minutes, while his brother itched and itched for
about 30 minutes longer than his sister.
Identify the:
16. Control Group
-
His brother
17. Independent Variable
-
New itching powder
18. Dependent Variable
-
Scratching and wiggling
19. Explain whether the data supports the
advertisements claims about its product.
- It does not support the advertisement as
the itching powder is just like the new on
and lasted 30 minutes longer.
Lisa is working on a science project. Her task is to
answer the question: "Does Rogooti (which is a
commercial hair product) affect the speed of hair
growth". Her family is willing to volunteer for the
experiment.
20. Describe how Lisa would perform this
experiment. Identify the control group, and
the independent and dependent variables in
your description.
She can use a tradition hair growth agent
and ragooti.
Control- hair growth with traditional hair
agent.
Independent- Ragooti
Dependent- Speed of hair growth

When burning ethanol in a closed system, which of the following is the best claim and reasoning?
The ethanol reaction stops because a bromthymol blue solution that's present turns the same color as when ethanol vapor is blown into
the solution.
O Water is produced because a bromthymol blue solution that's present turns the same color as when water vapor is blown into the solution.
O Evaporated ethanol is produced because it burns.
Carbon dioxide is produced because a bromthymol blue solution that's present turns the same color as when carbon dioxide is blown into

One application of adsorption on surfaces is to measure the ability of acti-
vated charcoal to adsorb acid. (Activated charcoal, a form of treated carbon,
is very porous and is used to adsorb impurities from water. Its use in aquar-
iums typifies this behavior.) In a lab experiment, a student mixes a given
amount of powdered charcoal into a series of acetic acid solutions. The acetic
acid solutions have different initial concentrations. Some of the acid is ad-
sorbed onto the charcoal. By taking aliquots after equilibrium is established,
the student determines the change in acid concentration. Plot a Langmuir
isotherm for the experimental data and determine the equilibrium constant
for the adsorption. The experimental data are as follows:
Original concentration (M)
0.7001
Change in concentration (M)
0.3694
0.1515
0.0437

Review I Constants i Perlodic Table
As a food chemist for a major potato chip company, you are responsible for determining the salt content of new potato
chip products for the packaging label. The potato chips are seasoned with table salt, NaCl. You weigh out a handful
of the chips, boil them in water to extract the salt, and then filter the boiled chips to remove the soggy chip pieces. You
then analyze the chip filtrate for Cl- concentration using the Mohr method.First you prepare a solution of silver
nitrate, AGNO3, and titrate it against 0.500 g of KCl using the Mohr method. You find that it takes 64.5 mL of
AgNO3 titrant to reach the equivalence point of the reaction. You then use the same silver nitrate solution to analyze
the chip filtrate in a Mohr reaction, finding that the solution yields a rusty brown precipitate when 45.4 mL of titrant is
added.
Part A
If the sample of chips used to make the filtrate weighed 76.5 g , how much NaCl is present in one serving (105 g )
of chips?…
