Properties of Matter QBA2 Review

Look at the picture of a balance with a small metal object and a pile of sand on the pans.

What is being measured by the balance?

• The mass of the pile of sand

• The mass of the metal object

• The volume of the pile of sand

• The volume of the metal object

Kyle and Jan are comparing two samples of matter. They make a table of the properties of each sample.

Which property provides the best evidence that both samples are solids rather than liquids?

• Color

• Mass

• Shape

• Volume

The two objects shown are the same size. However, one object is made of wood, and the other object is made of plastic. Which of the following properties of the objects will be the same?

• Volume

• Mass

• Texture

• Weight

Josie partially filled a graduated cylinder with 35mL of water. She then dropped a rock into the water. The illustration below shows what happened to the level of the water inside the graduated cylinder.

Which cylinder best represents the volume of the rock?

• 
• 
• 
• 

An image showing various liquid amounts is provided.

Which two liquids have the smallest volume?

• Liquids 1 and 4

• Liquids 2 and 3

• Liquids 3 and 4

• Liquids 3 and 1

Look at the objects on the balance scale.

Which of these correctly compares the mass and volume of the objects?

• The cube has more mass and more volume than the pyramid

• The pyramid has more mass and more volume than the cube

• The pyramid has more mass and less volume than the cube

• The cube has more mass and less volume than the pyramid

Tamika experiments with two different objects. She records some properties of each object in the chart below.

According to the chart above, what property of the objects could Tamika record accurately by using her hands?

• Temperature

• Volume

• Mass

• Texture

William wanted to check the temperature of four different glasses of water.

Which cup has the LOWEST temperature?

• Cup 1

• Cup 2

• Cup 3

• Cup 4

Janice found two seashells when she went to the beach. They appear to be almost the same size, but they have different shapes. When she holds them in her hands, they seem to have about the same weight. She wants to find out how similar they really are. How could she figure out if their volume is the same?

• Weigh each one on a scale to see which is heaviest

• Fill each one with water to see which will hold the most

• Drop each one in a beaker of water to see which raises the water level the most

• Measure the length of each one with a measuring tape to see which is the longest

10 Lucy is conducting an investigation to learn more about the properties of matter. She filled three balloons with an equal volume of a solid, a liquid, and a gas. She plans to pop each balloon and allow the matter to pour out into the 150 mL beaker below.

Which of the following statements below best describes what will happen when Lucy pops the balloons?

• The matter in each balloon will pour out and fill each beaker to the top

• The matter in the balloons filled with a liquid and a gas will pour into the beakers and remain the same volume while the balloon filled with a solid will pour into the beaker. We won’t know the solid’s volume because there is no way to measure the volume of a solid.

• The matter in the balloon filled with gas will pour into the beaker and fill it to the top. The matter in the liquid balloon will pour into the beaker and form a 25 mL puddle at the bottom. The matter in the balloon filled with a solid will pour into the beaker and form a stack with a volume of 100 cm³

• The matter in the balloons filled with a solid and a liquid will pour into the beakers and remain the same volume while the balloon filled with gas will not pour into the beaker. The gas will expand to fill the room.
