a)

Is not able to conduct any electric current

b)

Has an overall density greater than that of water

c)

Consists of a solid dissolved in distilled water

8.

A sliver ring reacts with compounds containing sulfur in the air to form silver sulfide, a black substance that makes up the tarnish on the surface of silver objects. To remove the tarnish from the ring, students placed it in a pan lined with aluminum foil and added hot water. Baking soda was added to the hot water and stirred. Students made observations about the process. 

Which observation of the process provides evidence of chemical reaction?

a)

Hot water heated the aluminum foil

b)

The liquid solution changed color

c)

The pan was lined with aluminum foil

d)

The hot water cooled

9.

Which of the following properties of an unknown substance would allow it to be classified as a pure substance?

a)

Can be dissolved into a solution

b)

Has a definite composition throughout

c)

Combines easily with other substances

d)

Is made of a single element or compound

10.

A student is trying to classify an unidentified, solid gray material as a metal or a nonmetal.

Which of the following questions will best help the student classify the material?

a)

Is the material malleable or ductile?

b)

Does the material feel hard to the touch?

c)

Will the material float in water?

d)

Does the material feel rough or smooth?

11.

Which two objects are most likely less dense than the water?

a)

Wood block

b)

Metal paper clip

c)

Plastic ball

d)

Glass marble

12.

Which observation would provide the best evidence that a chemical reaction occurred?

a)

The baking soda and the hydrochloric acid combined, and bubbles formed.

b)

The baking soda absorbed the hydrochloric acid

c)

Some of the baking soda dissolved in the hydrochloric acid

d)

The hydrochloric acid evaporated, leaving only the baking soda

13.

Which of the following is true regarding the particle nature of a solid? Particles in a solid-

a)

Move very little, so it cannot easily change its shape

b)

Are relatively far apart, so it is highly compressible

c)

Are in continual motion, and can slide past each other

d)

Are very far apart, so it can easily change its shape

14.

Which of the following is true regarding the particle nature of a gas? Particles in a gas-
