Which statements best describe matter? Choose 2 correct answers.
Matter is anything that has mass.
Matter takes up space.
Matter can be created but not destroyed.
The amount of matter in an object is the same as the weight of the object.
Solids and liquids are made of matter but gases are not.
The amount of matter in an object is called its—
Density
Volume
Mass
Weight
A student blows up a balloon, as shown in the images below.
Air particles have been added to the balloon in Picture B.
Picture A shows the balloon in its liquid state.
The air particles in Picture A are too small to be seen.
Picture B’s air particles need more energy to look like Picture A.
Use the picture to answer the question. To melt this solid gold ring into a liquid, what will need to happen?
The ring will need to be frozen.
The temperature of the ring will need to be increased.
Matter will need to be removed from the ring.
Energy will need to be removed from the ring.
A student draws these models of a solid and a liquid. One limitation of these models is that they do not show—
That particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids.
How the particles of solids and liquids are structured differently
Why solids do not take on the shape of their containers
Why liquids take on the shape of their containers.
Which of the following are mixtures?
Water
Soil
Salt
Tea with milk and sugar
Which of the following is true about mixtures?
The substances chemically bond with one another and cannot be separated.
Both substances must be in the same state of matter to be a mixture.
The combined substances do not lose their identifying characteristics.
One substance must be a liquid and the other a solid.
Sugar water, salt water, and soda are all examples of—
Solutions
Solids
Pure Substances
Elements
Which best explains how to make a solution?
Fully dissolve one substance into a liquid.
Break up and combine two solids.
Cool down gases until they become liquids again.
Mix two liquids together and shake continuously.
A student wants to separate a mixture of iron filings from sand, as seen below.
Magnet
Funnel
stovetop
paper filter
A student performs an experiment to separate salt and water by boiling the water until it turns into a gas called water vapor. Afterward, all that is left is the salt. Which would be the best hypothesis for this experiment?
I can turn water into a gas and melt the salt by boiling it.
If I boil the water long enough, then all that will be left is salt.
Salt cannot be turned into a liquid or a gas so I can separate it from water by adding heat.
If I add enough heat energy to the mixture, the salt will dissolve into the water.
In which form would water work best to cool down a hot drink?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
The following chart shows the temperature at which different substances melt (turn from a solid to a liquid). Which metal would be best for making tools that don’t melt easily over very hot fires?
Aluminum
Brass
Copper
Gold
In which of the following was energy added to the original substance?
Water is turned into ice.
Sugar is dissolved into tea.
Dew forms as water vapor turns to liquid.
Iron is melted so it can be made into new objects.
A student filled a water jug with 2 kilograms of water and some ice, then closed the lid and left the jug in the sunlight for two hours. When the student opened the jug again, all the ice had melted. There were now 2.5 kilograms of water in the jug. Which graph correctly shows the amount of water and ice, both before and after the ice melted?
A
B
C
D
A student had several broken crayons that weighed 20 grams altogether.
The student melted down the crayons, then let the mixture cool in the form
of one giant crayon. How much will the new crayon weigh?
10 grams
20 grams
25 grams
40 grams
Which question could be answered with this investigation?
What happens when energy is removed from several broken crayons?
How much energy is needed to turn melted crayons into a gas?
Are crayons a mixture or a pure substance?
How does the mass of something change as matter goes from one phase to another?
A student conducted an investigation with water and measured the temperature of the water throughout the investigation. Based upon this graph, what did the student do during the investigation?
The student added energy to turn water from a solid to a liquid to a gas.
The student removed energy from the water until it froze.
The student caused the particles of the water to slow down until they became a liquid.
The student froze water into a solid and then reheated it into a liquid.
Which of the following will boil a liter of water the fastest?
Sunlight through a window
Candle
Stove top
Flashlight
A student boiled 1000 grams of water on a stove top. After 20 minutes, some of the water had vaporized. The student measured the water and found that there were 800 grams left. Which graph correctly shows how much of the water was turned into vapor?
A
B
C
D
