Chapter 2 Test on Matter

The class conducts an experiment testing the properties of a sample. They concluded that it was NOT soluble in water. It was NOT attracted to a magnet. It does NOT float in water. It DOES conduct electricity. What material is the sample most likely made of?

• sugar

• copper

• iron

• foam

The illustration shows a pitcher of sugar. What state of matter is the sugar?

• solid

• liquid

• gas

• solid and gas

Your teacher measures the mass of a block of clay at 300 grams on a triple beam balance. He cuts some clay from the block. Explain how the mass will change.

• The mass of the block of clay will be greater because there is more material.

• The mass of the block of clay will be greater because there is less material.

• The mass of the block of clay will be less because there is more material.

• The mass of the block of clay will be less because there is less material.

Alex and Dilma use a pan balance to measure the mass of a few pebbles. They report that the mass is 24 pounds. Do you agree with their measurement? Explain.

Observe the photo of the green ball and yellow/red ball inside the beaker. What conclusion can you draw about the density of each object?

• The green ball is less dense than water.

• The green ball is more dense than water.

• The yellow/red ball is magnetic.

• The yellow/red ball is less dense than water.
