Which of the following observations likely describes a

physical change?

a)

A solid was exposed to heat and became a liquid.

b)

A piece of metal was added to a liquid and bubbles

formed on the surface of the metal.

c)

A white solid was exposed to ultraviolet light and

turned brown.

d)

Two clear liquids were mixed together, and a yellow

solid formed.

2.

A student places a beaker of liquid water on a hot plate. After a few minutes, bubbles form in the water. The student tests the bubbles and determines that they contain gaseous water. Is the formation of bubbles by the heating of water a physical change or a chemical change?

a)

The change is chemical because a new substance was

formed.

b)

The change is chemical because formation of a gas

indicates a chemical change.

c)

The change is physical because no new substances

were formed.

d)

The change is physical because the physical properties

of the substance changed.

3.

Which of the following includes an example of a chemical

property of an element?

a)

Aluminum is solid at room temperature.

b)

Sulfur is not shiny and is not malleable.

c)

Sodium reacts with other elements.

d)

Silicon is shiny and is a poor conductor of electricity.

4.

Which of the following is an example of a chemical

change?

a)

Water freezes.

b)

Wood is cut in half.

c)

Bread is baked in an oven.

d)

A copper wire is bent.

5.

Which of these is a physical change?

a)

Wood burning.

b)

An ice wedge shattering a slab of shale.

c)

Sulfuric acid corroding limestone.

d)

Acid rain damaging granite.

6.

A student measures the volume of a substance to be 3.25

ml. Can the student determine the identity of the

substance from this measurement?

a)

No, because volume is an intensive property.

b)

No, because volume is an extensive property.

c)

Yes, because volume is an intensive property.

d)

Yes, because volume is an extensive property

7.

The table below lists some properties of a sample of lauric acid.

Which of these is a intensive property?

a)

Volume

b)

Mass

c)

Boiling Point

d)

Number of moles

8.

You have measured the length and density of a pure metal

object in your chemistry lab. You will be able to identify the

metal the object is made of because

a)

length is an intensive property.

b)

length is an extensive property.

c)

density is an intensive property.

d)

density is an extensive property.

9.

The value of an extensive property is directly related to

a substance’s

a)

temperature.

b)

amount.

c)

density.

d)

elements.

10.

Which of the following pairs of properties includes one

extensive property and one intensive property?

a)

density, mass

b)

length, radius

c)

mass, volume

d)

malleability, hardness

11.

Which of the following correctly describes the particles in

a solid compared to the particles in a liquid?

a)

Particles in a solid are farther apart than particles in a

liquid.

b)

Particles in a liquid are much farther apart than

particles in a solid.

c)

Particles in a solid do not move at all, and particles in a

liquid slide past one another.

d)

Particles in a solid vibrate in place and particles in a

liquid slide past one another.

12.

Which observations were likely made of a gas?

a)

This substance filled only the bottom half of a

container.

b)

The volume of this substance did not change when

pressure was applied.

c)

When this substance was transferred from a smaller

container to a larger container, its volume increased.

d)

When this substance was moved from one container to

another, its shape stayed the same.

13.

Which of the following correctly describes what happens

when an inflated balloon is compressed?

a)

When the gas is compressed, its particles get smaller.

b)

When the gas is compressed, its particles get closer

together.

c)

When the gas is compressed, its particles get larger.

d)

When the gas is compressed, its particles get farther

apart.

14.

Which of the following best explains why CO2 gas is easily

compressible but solid CO2 is incompressible?

a)

The molecules of CO2 gas are much closer together

than the molecules in dry ice.

The molecules of solid CO2 are much closer together

than the molecules of CO2 gas.

c)

The molecules of CO2 gas are much smaller than the

molecules of solid CO2.

d)

sample is uniform in color and texture. Based on this

information, the student can determine which of the

following?

a)

The sample is an element.

b)

The sample can be an element or a compound.

c)

d)

The sample can be a homogeneous mixture or a

pure substance.

17.

A new material was produced in a laboratory by bonding

atoms of different elements together in a unique

arrangement. Other laboratories were able to reproduce

these results, producing the same material with the same

elements in the same arrangement. What type of matter

was produced?
