3-2 Energy & States of Matter Standard Quiz (SQ)

Take a look at the graph, which of the following remains constant throughout?

• Kinetic Energy

• Time

• Potential Energy

• Total Amount of Energy

These three gases, Helium, Neon, and Argon all have one property in common because they are gases at room temperature.  That is they:

• have no definite shape but a definite volume

• have a definite shape but no definite volume

• have no definite shape and no definite volume

• have a definite shape and a definite volume

A Bunsen burner is used to heat up an unknown liquid.  What happens to the energy from the Bunsen burner?

• It transfers to the liquid, increasing the intermolecular forces.

• It transfers to the liquid, decreasing the kinetic energy of the liquid.

• It transfers to the surroundings, decreasing the total amount of energy.

• It transfers to the liquid, increasing the kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the particle motion for the states of matter.

• Gases >liquids < solids

• Gases > liquids = solids

• Solids > liquids > gases

• Gases > liquids > solids

Based on the kinetic theory of matter, which statement is INCORRECT?

• Gases have a variable shape and volume.  The particles of gases move quickly.

• Solids have a fixed shape and volume.  The particles of a solid do not move.

• Liquids have a variable shape and fixed volume.  The particles of a liquid slide past each other.

• At temperatures above absolute zero, all matter has energy and the particles are moving.

Match the description (or image) with the appropriate term.e following

• Liquid

• Particles vibrate in place

• Solid

• Variable shape, fixed volume

• Gas

• Particles are spread out, moving the fastest
