5.5A Physical Property Review

Front

What is relative density?

Back

Relative density is the amount of matter packed into a given space compared to its ability to sink or float in water.

Front

What happens when two containers with different liquids are combined?

Back

The liquids may mix, separate, or react depending on their physical properties.

Front

Why is it important to stir natural peanut butter?

Back

Stirring is important because oil from the peanuts separates from the mixture due to being less dense.

Front

How do you find the mass of a liquid in a beaker?

Back

Subtract the mass of the beaker from the total mass of the beaker and the liquid combined.

Front

What physical property did students use to sort materials into groups?

Back

Students used the property of being magnetic or not magnetic to sort the materials.

Front

What is a physical property of matter?

Back

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its identity.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is the difference between density and relative density?

Back

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of water.

Front

What does it mean for an object to float?

Back

An object floats when its density is less than the density of the fluid it is in.

Front

What is magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a physical property that describes the ability of a material to attract or repel other materials.
