Worksheet time: 4hrs 1mins

Name
Class
Date
1.
Law of conservation of mass states that 
a)
matter is created
b)
matter is destroyed
c)
matter is neither created nor destroyed
d)
matter does not change
2.
10g of white powder reacts with 10g of clear liquid. The reaction bubbles and changes color producing a black liquid that has a mass of 13g. What can be concluded?
a)
5g of gas was produced
b)
This experiment violates the conservation of mass
c)
7g of gas was produced
d)
The excess reactant is destroyed & disappears during the reaction
3.
Bob puts 200 grams of ice into a pitcher with 900 grams of water. He gets distracted and comes back later to find that the ice has melted in the water. How many grams of water does Bob now have in the pitcher?
a)
200 g
b)
700 g
c)
1,100 g
4.

What will weigh more when a chemical change is complete assuming a closed system? The reactants before the chemical reaction, or the product after the reaction is complete?

a)

They both will weigh the same

b)

The product always weighs more than the reactant

c)

The reactant will weigh more than the product

d)

They both will loose mass after the reaction

5.
Suppose a reaction were to happen in an open container in a lab.  During the reaction, the scientist observes the chemicals bubble, and produce a gas.   During the analysis the scientist notices that the reactants weighed 20 g when he started, and the product weighed 18 g.  Explain what happened.  
a)
His chemical reaction defied the law of conservation of mass
b)
The product destroyed mass during the reaction
c)
The reactants created matter during the reaction
d)
The gas that was produced was not able to be weighed since the container was open.  
6.
Can matter be created or destroyed?
a)
Yes, it can be created.
b)
Yes, it can be destroyed.
c)
No, matter is always conserved
d)
None of these
7.
Matter is anything that
a)
takes up space and has mass.
b)
is in our universe.
c)
is light, sound or ideas.
8.
An oreo cookie weighs 20 grams.  It gets crushed into crumbs for a recipe.  How much do its crumbs weigh?
a)
15 grams
b)
25 grams
c)
20 grams
9.

Mrs. Roth's tea cup and hot tea weigh 100 grams. She stirs in 10 grams of sugar. How much is the total amount of matter in Mrs. Roth's tea cup and tea now?

a)

100 grams

b)

110 grams

c)

90 grams

10.

A boiling pot of water on a stove is what type of system

a)

Closed System

b)

Open System

c)

Isolated System

11.

Suppose steel wool is placed inside a container and is then sealed closed. The flask is then heated until the steel wool partially burns but then goes out. This is similar to what we did in the lab except that the steel wool is inside a closed container. Select the true statement(s)

a)

The total mass of the container and the steel wool will remain the same

b)

The total mass of the container and the steel wool will decrease because some of the steel wool is converted into energy.

c)

The total mass of the container and the steel wool decrease because some of the atoms inside the steel wool are destroyed by the heat.

d)

The total mass of the container & steel wool will increase.

12.

If a chemical reaction occurs in an open system (not contained), what might happen to the measurable mass of the products when compared to the reactants?

a)

the measurable mass might decrease because any gas produced can escape (the actual mass would stay the same)

b)

the mass would increase because mass was created

c)

the measurable mass would stay the same because nothing would be able to leave the system.

d)

it depends on the type of reaction

13.

The picture above represents matter particles before a chemical reaction takes place. Assuming a closed system, what picture below could represent the products? Note: More than one answer could be correct.

a)
b)
c)
d)
14.

a)
a total of 40g of product
b)
a total of 10g of product
c)
a total of 80 g of product
d)
a total of 20g of product
15.

a)

Open system

b)
