A group of chemistry students had to identify six white powders. The students used a variety of tests to identify the powders. They computed the density of each powder. They checked to see if any dissolved in water. One of the powders did not dissolve in water and they thought it was cornstarch. Someone knew that cornstarch felt slippery and reacted with iodine. The students put a few drops of iodine on each white powder. One powder turned black; they guessed that it was cornstarch. They heated the powders in a Bunsen burner flame to see if any would melt. One did and they guessed it might be a sugar.
Which test result indicated a chemical change had taken place?
dissolves in water
feels slippery in water
melts when heated in a flame
turns black when iodine is added
Maria and Carla were hiking when Maria tripped, fell, and sprained her ankle. Carla took out the first-aid kit and unwrapped a cold pack. Carla popped a vial that was inside the cold pack. The pack began to get icy cold and Carla applied the pack to Maria's ankle.
What kind of reaction occurred in the cold pack? What evidence supports your answer?
It is a physical change as evidenced by a drop in temperature.
It is a chemical change because two different chemicals are mixed together.
It is a chemical change because heat energy is absorbed and the pack gets colder.
It is a physical change because the substance in the vial dissolved in the pack's liquid.
What element behaves MOST like magnesium (Mg)?
S
Si
Sn
Sr
During a physical science lab investigating chemical reactions, several students placed a 30g antacid tablet in a 30g zip-lock bag. They recorded the masses of the tablet, and the bag. Then they added 50 grams of water and quickly sealed the bag. The tablet began to fizz and soon disappeared. The bag was filled with gas. If the mass of the liquid after the reaction is completed is still 50 grams, how much gas is produced?
30 grams
50 grams
80 grams
90 grams

Ms. Crawford gave the following instructions to her science class:
• Place an empty water bottle on the table and remove the lid. Carefully pour 10 ml of vinegar into the bottle.
• Open up the mouth of the balloon and have you lab partner spoon 1 teaspoon of baking soda into the balloon.
• Without spilling any of the baking soda, stretch the mouth of the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
• Turn the balloon completely upright so that the baking soda inside the balloon pours into the bottle with the vinegar. Watch!
The baking soda looked like it dissolved in the vinegar. Sarah and Connor watched as the balloon expanded and filled with a gas. Was this a physical or chemical reaction and why?
chemical - gas produced
physical - water bottle got hot
physical - baking soda dissolved
chemical - baking soda disappeared
Your teacher hands you a clear liquid and asks you to classify it. You and your lab partner perform a sample of tests and get the following results:
1. After evaporation, no substances remain. 2. No residue remains in paper after filtering. 3. Boiling point is low (compared to water).
Where on the Venn Diagram would you place your mystery substance?
A

D
Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting.
The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchanged.
Absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy.
As the temperature increases during melting, the kinetic energy also increases.
The kinetic energy of the particles decreases as the particles move farther apart.
When a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. Describe what happens to the arrangement of the water molecules as the temperature increases.
Water molecules separate into hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Water molecules become less orderly and they spread apart.
The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases proportionally to the temperature change.
Water molecules lose all contact with one another and intermolecular forces are non-existent.
Ben and Sam were conducting experiments on physical and chemical changes in science class. First they added some salt to water and stirred it up until the salt dissolved. "That's a physical change" Ben said. "And that's a solution which is a mixture", added Sam. Next they added an anti-acid tablet to some water. The water began to fizz and bubble. The beaker got cooler. "That's a physical change too," Ben noted. "No, it's not," responded Sam. Who is correct and where should the contents of the beaker be placed in the Venn diagram?
Sam is correct. It is not a physical change and it should be placed in A.
Sam is correct. It is a chemical change and the contents should be in D. for compound.
Ben is correct. It is a physical change and it is a solution, placing it in B. as a mixture.
They are both correct. It is a mixture and a compound and the contents should be placed in C.
The molecule arrangement of ice, water and steam are very different. _______ has the most ordered arrangement, ______ has the next most orderly arrangement, and ___________ has the least orderly arrangement of molecules.
ice, water, steam
steam, water, ice
water, steam, ice
water, ice, steam
Mrs. Smith is demonstrating a chemical change for her class. She places 15 grams of baking soda into a beaker. Next she adds 15 grams of vinegar to the same beaker. When the two compounds make contact, they bubble and fizz a great deal. She places the beaker on the balance and notes that the mass of the solution in the beaker is less than the expected 30 grams.
Why is the mass of the solution in the beaker less than 30 grams?
The balance was not working correctly.
The gas that was released changed the mass.
Mass is always lost in a chemical reaction.
The new products have less mass than the original reactants.
From the list below, determine which properties are for compounds.
I. It takes a large amount of energy to separates the elements of a compound. II. The proportions of the elements in a compound are always fixed.
III. It is easy to separate the elements of a compound.
IV. The elements/components of a compound do not retain their individual properties.

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.

The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
The particles are not bound to one another, move quickly, have a low density, and are able to spread apart from one another if unconstrained.

A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?
The drawing is wrong because there are more chemicals on the products side.
The drawing is correct because there are 12 compounds on each side of the arrow.
The drawing is wrong because there are different compounds on each side of the arrow.
The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.
A flask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. A balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. The balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. The balloon inflates to a large volume. What will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? Explain.
Less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears.
200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask.
More than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger.
Less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
