1.A. in paragraph no.3 Priestly shared with Lavoisier his discovery of a “perfect air”.

Which of the
scientific traits did Priestly exhibit in this paragraph ? Choose one trait only. How is the trait used in
science?

C. open-mindedness- Because since Priestly used the unknown gas to evaluate a candle, he also prefers
to make his hypnosis into a working theory by asking his friend Antoine Lavoisier to make Priestly patent
to be authenticated.

2. State the problem that Lavoisier decided to investigate.

Lavoisier asks himself: What occurs when a material burns—does it emit anything; does it react with the
air? Probably, it means there is something in the air that might affect the material’s intense combustion
and what are the properties it emits.3. -4. State the Hypothesis (to answer the problem in no.2 above)
by completing the following sentences.

3. If anything from the air mixes with a material while it is burning,

4. then the mass of the substance after burning would rise.

5. Which paragraph described the experiment that Lavoisier performed to test his hypothesis? Give
only the number of the paragraph.

Number 5

6. In paragraph number 6 why did air rush into the vessel when Lavoisier broke the glass seal?

Lavoisier observed that a red coating formed on the heated surface of mercury when it was heated.
Lavoisier reasoned that since the mass of the glass did not change after he "broke" it (after weighing it),
part of the air inside the jar must have come into contact with the mercury to produce the red powder.

7. Which paragraph shows Lavoisier’s INTERPRETATION of his OBSERVATIONS. Give only the number
of the paragraph.

Number 7

8. What conclusion did Lavoisier draw from his investigation?

Lavoisier discovered that the mass becomes heavier when combined with air. Also, he found that when
he broke the sealed glass seal, the red powder Lavoisier heated turned back into mercury, and purified
air was released.

9.A. What trait did Lavoisier show in paragraph no.7? Choose one trait only. Why is the trait useful in
scientific investigations?

D. perseverance- Since Lavoisier wanted to avoid drawing any quick conclusions, he goes on to study
more experiments to prove that all of his experiments can be reversed, making new discoveries and
proving priestly theories are acceptable.

10. Paste an image of a fire triangle

11. Explain the implication of the fire triangle.

-It explains how the fire triangle works together to start and maintain a fire and tells us that: if any of
these components were absent, the fire would not continue to combust or might get extinguished.12.
Present a chemical equation of combustion.

CxHy + O2 H20 + CO2

13. Identify the reactants based on the above equation.

fuel + oxygen water + Carbon Dioxide

14. Identify the products based on the above chemical equation.

carbon dioxide, water and heat

PART. III. Aside from existence of God and value judgment, explain why beauty appreciation is also
considered a limitation of scientific method. (8 points)

Because beauty is a personal matter, each person has a unique perspective on what beauty is. Thus, it is
a matter of personal preference. Science, however, solely relies on evidence from research, hypothesis
and data.
