1.

Matter is anything that has (a)   and takes up space.

2.

What is mass?

a)

Mass tells us how much space something takes up.

b)

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter.

c)

Mass is a measurement that increases when temperature increases.

d)

Mass is the same as size.

3.

A solid candy bar has a mass of 18 grams. A student melted the candy bar until it became a liquid. What is the mass of the candy bar as a liquid?

a)

9 grams because the mass of a substance reduces by half during a phase change.

b)

16 grams because a liquid has a slightly lower mass than a solid.

c)

20 grams because a liquid has a slightly higher mass than a solid.

d)

18 grams because the total mass of matter remains the same during a phase change.

4.

1.     Matter can change through both physical and chemical changes.  What is always true about matter, even after it changes its form? 

a)

  The matter releases heat energy.

b)

  Some of the matter is destroyed

c)

  New matter is created.

d)

The amount of matter is the same.

5.
Which is a statement of the law of conservation of mass?
a)

Mass can be created and destroyed in a chemical reaction.

b)

The total mass before a chemical reacteion is the same as the total mass after the reaction.

c)

Every reaction creates an equal amount of mass related to the amount of energy required for the reaction.

d)

The total amount of mass is equal to the volume of both chemicals in the reaction
