Students observe a glass of ice and water. The glass is dry on the outside. After ten minutes, students see drops of water on the outside of the glass.
Which statement best explains the students' observations
The water vapor in the air changes to a liquid when it touches the cold glass.
The cold water inside the glass rises and then slides down the outside of the glass.
The ice in the glass melted and causes the water to overflow the glass.
The water moved to the outside surface through tiny holes in the glass.
A group of students is performing an investigation to measure how much liquid water is produced from a 10L sample of snow. What must occur in order for the students to perform this investigation?
The sample must be kept in a freezer.
The temperature of the sample must change.
The investigation must be performed outside.
The physical state of the sample must remain the same.
A student observed liquid wax dripping down the side of a burning candle. After putting out the candle's flame, the student left the room. Several hours later the student observed that there was no longer an liquid on the side of the candle. Which statement explains what most likely happened to the liquid wax?
The heat given off by the flame caused the candle wax to evaporate.
The liquid wax changed back into a solid as it cooled.
The liquid wax condensed and was absorbed by the candle
None of the above.
Some students put two ice cubes on separate plates. One ice cube had a mass of 80 grams. The other had a mass of 40 grams. Which result would be the same for both ice cubes in this investigation?
The time it took each ice cube to melt completely.
The temperature at which each ice cube melted.
The amount of liquid produced on each plate.
The total volume of each ice cube.
A student prepared a snack that consisted of grapes, pecans, and strawberries sprinkled with white powdered sugar. The student stored the snack in a refrigerator. An hour later the student observed that the powdered sugar could no longer be seen but the fruit and nuts had not changed in appearance.
What most likely happened to the sugar in the mixture?
The sugar dissolved in the moisture on the fruits.
The sugar evaporated at the lower temperature in the refrigerator without causing any changes to the fruit and nuts.
The sugar absorbed energy from the nuts and melted into a colorless liquid.
The sugar was more dense than the other foods in the mixture, so it settled to the bottom of the container.
What change occurs when lemon juice is mixed with water?
The mass of the lemon juice decreases.
The water becomes a solid.
The lemon juice dissolves and spreads out evenly in the water.
The volume of the water decreases.
For an investigation a student put 100 mL of water at room temperature into each of three beakers. Then the student added a coin to Beaker R, 3g of powdered drink mix to Beaker S, and 10 mL of lamp oil to Beaker T. The student stirred the contents of the beakers and then left them sitting on a lab table for 5 minutes. Which diagram show what the student most likely observed in each of the beakers after 5 minutes?
A student combined powdered paint with water to make a small amount of blue liquid paint mixture. The student left the paint mixture in an open container. Several days later the student found the container and observed that changes had occurred. What most likely happened to the mixture?
The container was empty after the mixture evaporated into the air.
The paint evaporated, leaving only clear water in the container.
The water evaporated, leaving only a dry blue solid in the container.
The liquid paint mixture was lighter in color after some water evaporated.
Students conduct an investigation with breakfast cereal. The first four steps of the student's investigation are in the table shown. The students are trying to determine the presence of which substance in the cereal.
Sugar
Iron
Salt
Wheat
A student mixes a sample of stones with a sample of table salt. The mass and volume of the samples were determined before mixing the samples. The mass and volume of each sample is shown. Which statement is true about the mixture?
The mass of the mixture is 85 grams.
The mass of the mixture is 60 milliliters.
The volume of the mixture is 60 grams.
The volume of the mixture is 85 milliliters.
The table lists the ingredients of five different mixtures. In which mixtures do all the ingredients maintain their physical state?
Mixtures 3 and 4 only
Mixtures 1, 3, and 4
Mixtures 1, 2, and 5
Mixtures 2 and 5 only
A student stirs 15 grams of each substance listed below into 200 milliliters of water to form four different mixtures. The student then tries to separate the water from each mixture by pouring the mixture through a kitchen tea strainer. Which mixture can the student separate most easily with the strainer?
Salt and water
Gravel and water
Shampoo and water
Sugar and water
Some ways to separate mixtures are listed below. A student is given a beaker containing gravel and water. Which of these ways could the student NOT use to separate the gravel from the water.
1
2
3
4
A mixture of beads was placed in a container, as shown below. The beads are of various sizes, and each one is made of plastic, glass, or steel. The mixture would be easy to separate because all of the beads -
are less dense than water
are solids
have the same mass
are attracted to magnets
A student poured equal amounts of water and cooking oil into a jar. The student placed a lid on the jar and shook the mixture for five seconds and then let the jar sit for ten minutes. The results of this investigation are shown.
Which conclusion best compares a property of cooking oil and water shown in this investigation?
Cooking oil is less dense than water.
Water is less dense than cooking oil.
Water dissolves in cooking oil.
Cooking oil dissolves in water.
Students observe some objects on a lab tray. The students will classify the objects based on physical properties common to all of the objects.
Based on their common properties, how should these objects be classified?
A student compares the physical properties of the four objects shown.
Which of these physical properties do all four objects have in common?
They all have the same physical state and conduct electricity.
They all conduct electricity and attract the same metal objects.
The all attract the same metal objects and are not soluble in water.
The all are not soluble in water and have the same physical state.
The table lists some physical properties of two objects. Based on their properties, which of the objects is most likely metal?
Object 1, because it is a solid that is less dense than water.
Object 2, because all metals float in water.
Object 2, because metals conduct thermal energy and electricity.
Object 1, because it can be used to provide insulation for thermal energy.
Which of these is NOT soluble in water?
Oil
Salt
Honey
Sugar
