Jervin tested how much water a paper towel could absorb in an experiment. He found out that a single paper towel might first absorb 12.8g of water. He later discovered that his scale was not calibrated; thus, the experiment had to be repeated. He found that one paper towel could absorb 32.9g of water after repeating the experiment on a different scale. What is the approximate error between the first and second experiments' results?
In a dry test tube, put enough cane sugar to make a layer about 1⁄4 inch deep. heat the tube in the flame while holding a cool inverted beaker near the mouth of the test tube.
Observations:
What is collected in the beaker?
Where did this come from?
What are the elements present in this substance?
What is left behind in the test tube?
What element is it?
What elements therefore are present in combination in sugar?
In an experiment, calcium carbonate reacted with different volumes of hydrochloric acid in water. One of the products formed during the experiment was carbon dioxide. The time taken for 0.89 mL of carbon dioxide to form was recorded. A partial record of the experiment is shown.

Based on your knowledge of factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, predict the trend in the last column of the experimental record. Use complete sentences to explain the trend you predicted. You do not have to determine exact values for time; just describe the trend you would expect (increase or decrease) and why it occurs

- You can analyze for a copper compound in water using an instrument called a spectrophotometer. [A spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument that measures the amount of light (of a given wavelength) that is absorbed by the solution] The amount of light absorbed at a given wavelength of light (A) depends directly on the mass of compound per liter of solution. To calibrate the spectrophotometer, you collect the following data: Plot the absorbance (A) against the mass of copper compound per liter (g/L), and find the slope (m) and intercept (b) (assuming that A is y and the amount in solution is x in the equation for a straight line, y = mx + b).
