Read the following information and use it to answer the question. Silicon is a very common element on Earth. It makes up about 28% of the Earth’s crust and is symbolized as Si. You can find silicon in rocks, sand, clay, and soil, but it is usually mixed with other elements like oxygen. The mixtures are called silica and silicates. Scientists can get pure silicon, which is hard and shiny. Pure silicon is used to make computer chips and electronics. Sand and clay (which have silica) are used to make concrete and bricks. Silicates (a compound made of silicon and oxygen) help make glass and pottery. Silicones, made from silicon and other elements, are used in things like waterproofing and lubricants. Based upon this information, which type of silicon would a computer engineer most likely use in their daily work?

a)

Silica from sand or clay

b)

Pure silicon

c)

Silicone (a combination of silicon and other elements)

d)

Silicates with silicon and oxygen

13.

A student wants to test how different amounts of heat affect the time it takes for a chemical reaction to occur with two different elements. The student hypothesizes that increasing the heat will make the reaction happen faster. In this experiment, what is the independent variable?

a)

The amount of heat

b)

The types of elements

c)

The reaction time

d)

The final temperature of the reaction

14.

A science class is testing how different amounts of vinegar affect the speed of a baking soda reaction. They use three different amounts of vinegar: 50 milliliters, 100 milliliters, and 150 milliliters. They then mix each amount of vinegar with a fixed amount of baking soda and measure how quickly the bubbles form. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?

a)
