Which phase of matter shows the greatest changes in volume with changes in temperature and/or pressure?
Gases
Liquids
Solids
It depends on the mass.
Which phase of matter is the least compressible?
Gases
Liquids
Solids
Plasma
Why are gases more compressible than liquids and solids?
Gas particles move slowly and this allows for them to be pushed together easily.
The lower kinetic energy of solid particles makes their particles closer and less compressible.
Since gas particles are spread so far apart, they are easily compressed.
All of the above

Students poured water and cooking oil into a beaker. The students then added a penny, a plastic paper clip, and a cork to the beaker and recorded their observations. Observations: The water was on the bottom, and the oil was on top of the water. The penny dropped to the bottom of the beaker. The plastic paper clip floated on the water but under the oil. The cork floated on top of the oil. Which list puts the items in order from most dense to least dense?
Cork, oil, plastic paper clip, water, penny
Water, penny, oil, plastic paper clip, cork
Penny, water, plastic paper clip, oil, cork
Oil, penny, cork, plastic paper clip, water
Which material is MOST LIKELY rubber?
Material W
Material X
Material Y
Material Z
A student has three blocks. Each block is made of iron, lead, or copper. All three blocks have equal masses and are the same color. Part A: How could the student determine whether any of the blocks are made of iron?
Place a magnet close to each of the blocks.
Record whether the blocks float or sink in water.
Try to dissolve the blocks in a beaker of water.
Drop the blocks from a certain height and record any cracks.
This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then answer Part B. A student has three blocks. Each block is made of iron, lead, or copper. All three blocks have equal masses and are the same color. Part B: Which explanation supports the answer to Part A?
A) Iron is denser than water and will therefore float.
B) Iron can break more easily than copper or lead.
C) Iron is magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet.
D) Iron dissolves in water but copper and lead do not.
Which of the following best describes a change in iron caused by a chemical reaction?

A bicycle rider is traveling up a hill. When the rider reaches the top of the hill, she stops to rest. Then she travels down the hill. The diagram shows the rider in the three different positions.
Which of these correctly describes the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the bicycle rider?

decreases.
When the rider goes down the hill, her potential energy increases, and her kinetic energy
decreases.
