4 Use the images below to answer questions On Monday afternoon, a student prepared a petri dish and then swabbed the school lunch table (left). On Tuesday, after cleaning the table with an antibacterial soap, she repeated the experiment (image on right). The following statements were made by the student conducting a lab. Please indicate whether each statement is an observation (O) or inference (I). Assume that the growth has been identified as bacteria. 40. There is more bacteria on the petri dish before the tables were cleaned. 41. The tables in the lunch room appear dirty. 42. Antibacterial soap smells like lemons. 43. Antibacterial soap kills bacteria. 44. If the tables are not properly cleaned, bacteria can grow on them. 45. The petri dishes were kept at 23 C. 46. The mass of each dish and the contents before the experiment was 35 grams. 47. Prior to this experiment, the tables have not been properly cleaned. 48. Fill in the blank spaces with either an observations or inferences: Observation Inference The temperature of the glass of water near the window is warmer than the water on the table. Adding grease to the gears caused the cart to roll faster. 4

The accepted value is known to be 2.40 g/cm 3. a. Are the values that Heather and Jason determined precise? Explain. b. Are the values accurate? Explain. c. Calculate the percent error and the uncertainty for each measurement. 10
11 159. During a dental work or minor surgery, a local anesthetic, such as procaine or lidocaine, is used to deaden the pain in a small area of the body. Although both are about equally effective in numbing the pain, procaine is eight times more toxic than lidocaine. With which anesthetic is it more important to be precise and accurate in administering a dose? Explain When cutting the legs of a table to make it lower, precision is usually far more important than accuracy. Explain. 11
