8 of 34
concentration
The quantity of the chemical dissolved in a stated volumes of solution. Conc can be measure in grams per litre

Accuracy
How close a quantative result is to the true or actual value.
10 of 34
Outlier
A measured result from the expected trend. CAn often be due to human error.
11 of 34
Mean value
A type of average found by adding up a set of measurements and then dividing by the number of measurements. This gives you more confidence than a single result.
12 of 34
Best estimate
When measuring a variable the value of which you have the most confindence
13 of 34
Range
The difference between the highest and the lowest of a set of measurments.
14 of 34
Real difference
When the ranges of two sets of data do not overlap.
15 of 34
Chemical reaction
When a new product is formed. Chemical bonds hve been formed.
16 of 34
Atom
The smallest particle of and element
17 of 34
Hydrocarbon
A chemical containing only the lements hydrogen and carbon.
18 of 34
products
The new chemical formed after a chemical reaction has occurred.
19 of 34
chemical formula
A way of describing a chemical which uses symbols for atoms it gives information about the number of atoms.
20 of 34
Word Equation
a summary of the chemical involved in a reaction
21 of 34
Chemical Equation
A summary of all the chemical in the equation with their physical states.
22 of 34
conservation of atoms
All the atoms present at the beginning of a reaction are still present at the end but they are rearranged. No new atoms are created or destroyed.
23 of 34
Conservation of mass
The total mass of a reaction is the same at the end as it is in the beginning.

25 of 34
Correlation
The link between two things. For example when the pollen count increases the number of cases of hay fever increases too.
26 of 34
Cause
When there is evidence that changes in a factor produces a particular outcome, then factor is said to cause the outcome.
27 of 34
factor
A variable that changes and may affect something else.
