Pre-AP Chemistry

Summer Packet

Name: Date: Period:

This packet must be completed and turned in by 08/26/16 (Fri) to your Pre-AP

Chemistry teacher.

SHOW ALL WORK to receive a full credit. Box or circle the final answers. Be sure

to include appropriate units where applicable.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding any of the topics contained

in this review packet during the first week of class.

The topics contained in this packet are considered to be a review of typical middle

school science and Algebra I curriculum. You are responsible for reviewing the

materials contained in this packet before your first day of school.

Scientific Measurements:

For help on this topic, we recommend watching this video at

11) What would be the mass of a lead sphere with a radius of 1.5 cm? (The density of lead = 11.34 g/cm3)

Scientific Graphing:

Most scientific graphs are made as line graphs. There may be times when other types would be appropriate, but they

are rare. The lines on scientific graphs are usually drawn either straight or curved. These “smoothed” lines do not

have to touch all the data points, but they may be “best-fit” lines.

Title: The title should clearly represent what information is being graphed. A small statement consisting of both

variables.

Axis: Axis should always be labeled on the manipulated (independent) variable on the X-axis and the responding

(dependent) variable on the Y-axis. Units should be included in the axis labels when applicable.

Interval: Your graph should take up as much of the graphing space or paper as possible. The scale should use

consistent intervals.

Line of best fit: NEVER connect the dots on a scientific graph. Use a ruler to draw a straight line through your data. If

the data looks as if it represents a curve, freehand draw a curved line that best-fit your data.

Slope: In the form of y = mx + b where “b” is the y-axis intercept

12) Use the following data to draw a graph that shows the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Celsius

temperature scales.

Temp (oF) -40 32 68 98.6 212

Temp (oC) -40 0 20 37 100

13) The following data shows the conditions of a diver experiences as they travel to depths in increments of 10

meters. Use the provided data to draw a graph that shows the relationship between the Pressure (in units of atm)

and Volume (in units of L).

Depth (m) Pressure (atm) Volume (L)

0 1 1000.0

10 2 500.0

20 3 333.3

30 4 250.0

40 5 200.0

50 6 166.7

60 7 142.9

70 8 125.0

80 9 111.1

90 10 100.0

100 11 90.9
