Study Notes
Representing Data with Tables and Graphs
- Graphs illustrate correlations between independent (x-axis) and dependent variables (y-axis).
- Directly proportional correlation results in a straight line through the origin; described by the equation y = a × x.
- If the graph does not pass through the origin, the relationship is expressed as y = a × x + b, where b is the intercept.
- Inversely proportional relationships yield hyperbolas, represented by the equation y = k/x.
- Proportional to the square relationships produce parabolas, summarized by the equation y = a × x².
Quantities and Units
- Measurement involves comparing a quantity with a standard unit.
- Fundamental quantities include length (metre), mass (kilogram), time (second), temperature (kelvin), amount of substance (mole), electric current (ampere), and luminous intensity (candela).
- Derived quantities like volume, acceleration, and force are calculated from base quantities.
Stages of the Scientific Method
- Step 1: Observation and question formulation based on observed phenomena.
- Step 2: Hypothesis development that suggests potential relationships among variables.
- Step 3: Experimentation under controlled conditions to test the hypothesis; only one parameter (independent variable) is altered at a time.
- Step 4: Result analysis through tabulation and graphical representation to interpret data and draw conclusions.
- Step 5: Development of scientific laws and theories based on proven hypotheses.
Experimental Design Considerations
- Independent variable: temperature of water; dependent variable: amount of sugar dissolved.
- Control variables include the amount of water and type of sugar.
- Safety measures in the laboratory must be adhered to, such as wearing gloves, using safety glasses, and proper handling of chemicals.
Lab Safety Guidelines
- Use appropriate labeling and protection when handling chemicals.
- Avoid consuming food in the laboratory environment; wash hands before leaving.
- Handle glassware carefully and do not use flammable materials near heat sources.
- Always dilute acids in water to reduce risk of splashing.
- Dispose of waste correctly; do not pour chemicals down toilets.
