Look at the water carefully.

b)

Heat the water so it evaporates and the salt is left behind.

c)

Heat the water and look for bubbles.

d)

Pour the water through a something with holes in it.

9.

How could you calculate the weight of a mixture of different types of juice?

a)

Weigh the ingredients and subtract the weights.

b)

Weigh the ingredients and add the weights.

c)

Heat the juice, so it evaporates.

d)

Use a triple beam balance.

10.

What provides the best evidence that air is made of matter?

a)

measuring the temperature of air

b)

comparing the volume of an empty balloon and an inflated balloon

c)

measuring how long it takes air to escape a balloon

d)

finding the volume of air in spaces by pouring water into the spaces

11.

What is the best evidence that air in a syringe is matter?

nuts and raisins mixed in a bowl

b)

rocks and sand mixed on a beach

c)

salt dissolved in water

d)

bricks in a wall

16.

You mix baking soda and vinegar. Bubbles form. Now the mixture weighs less. You think it's because a gas formed and escaped. How could you test if this is true?

a)

Try the experiment again in the exact same way and see if the weight changes.

b)

Try the experiment again but seal it in a bag, so the gas can't escape and see if the weight changes.
