Antoine Lavoisier is credited with the Law of Conservation of Mass. He was working with metal mercury and when he heated it, the product had more mass than it started with. He performed the experiment again but in a sealed jar. The mass of the experiment before and after heating had not changed. What explains these results?

a)

There was no way for gas to enter the jar.

b)

The oxygen used in the combustion reaction was not considered in the first trial.

c)

The mass of the jar was not considered.

d)

Metal mercury only works as a solid.

9.

A student placed 6.0 grams of baking soda into a small balloon. The mass of the balloon and soda was measured at 7.0 grams. Next, the student poured a measure of vinegar into a Florence flask that had an empty mass of 100 grams. After the balloon was stretched across the top of the flask, the student dumped the soda into the vinegar. A gas was formed by a chemical reaction that filled the balloon. After the reaction stopped, the student placed the flask with the filled balloon on a balance scale and it measured 125 grams.

What was the mass of the vinegar the student put in the flask at the start?

a)

18 g

b)

19 g

c)

20 g

d)

There is not enough information to correctly answer.

10.

In the chemical equation, there are three Na atoms, three Cl atoms, and one Al atom represented on both sides. The equation is balanced. Which of the following best explains the fact that the equation is balanced?

a)

laws of motion

b)

law of gravity

c)

law of conservation of mass

d)

law of conservation of energy

11.

Which statement about states of matter is most correct?

a)

All states of matter have particles that are tightly packed and vibrate with little motion.

b)

Only liquids and gases have little space between particles and are therefore not easily compressible.

c)

Solids and gases both assume the shape of the container that they are placed in.

d)

Gases are the only compressible state of matter.

12.

A scientist obtains a microscopic view of a certain substance. She finds evidence of the molecules in a regular pattern that is rigid, the particles cannot slide past one another. She must be observing which state of matter?

a)

solid

b)

liquid

c)

gas

d)

plasma

13.

Which of these conclusions about the unknown substance is best supported by these data?

a)

It is a metal.

b)

It will sink in water

c)

It is a crystal.

d)

Is is a gas.

14.

A student wearing goggles, a lab apron, and thin latex gloves is best protected from

a)

cuts while working with a sharp scalpel

b)

burns while handling a beaker of boiling water

c)

burns while mixing chemicals in a test tube

d)

shocks while working with live, low-voltage electrical wires

15.

Students fill a beaker with 100 milliliters of water. They plan to heat the beaker for 25 minutes using a Bunsen burner. They plan to take a temperature reading every minute. After heating the beaker for 20 minutes, one lab group notices that there is less than 5 milliliters of water in the beaker. What should the group do?

a)

Continue heating the beaker and taking temperature measurements for the full 25 minutes.

b)

Turn off the burner and work with the measurements they already have. If necessary, repeat the experiment.

c)

Wait until all the water is gone, then add some cold water to the beaker and continue taking measurements for the full 25 minutes.

d)

Move the beaker to the countertop and continue taking measurements for the full 25 minutes.

16.

23.

When falling through the air, all objects will reach a top speed called terminal velocity. Is this good news or bad news for skydivers?
