b)

Density changes when you cut an object in half

c)

Density is a characteristic property of matter

d)

Density is measured in grams only

11.

Heating a gas causes it particles to move ____________ and push ____________ apart, becoming ______________ dense.

a)

faster, farther, less

b)

slower, closer, more

c)

faster, closer, more

d)

slower, farther, less

12.

What is the formula for density?

a)

Density = Mass / Volume

b)

Density = Volume / Mass

c)

Density = Mass x Volume

d)

13.

If you know the density and volume of an object but not the mass, is there a way to calculate the mass without weighing the object?

a)

Yes, you can calculate mass by multiplying density by volume.

b)

No, you need to weigh the object to find its mass.

c)

You can only estimate the mass using density and volume.

d)

Mass cannot be determined without knowing the object's weight.

14.

What is the difference in how atoms are packed together between liquids and gases?

a)

There is no difference in how atoms are packed together between liquids and gases.

b)

Atoms in gases are packed tightly together; atoms in liquids have a lot of space between them.

c)

Atoms in liquids are packed together as close as they can get; atoms in gases have a lot of space between them.

d)

Atoms in gases have a lot of space between them; atoms in liquids have a lot of space between them.

15.

What makes it possible to find out which material is more dense just by weighing them?

a)

if all of the masses are equal.

b)

if all of the densities are equal.

c)

if all of the temperatures are equal.

d)

if all of the volumes are equal.

16.

A group of students were asked to layer four solutions that were made with water and the same dissolved solid. They recorded data in the table below to describe the volume and mass of each solution. What is the density of Solution A?

a)

Density of Solution A = 125 g / 100 mL = 1.25 g/mL

b)

Density of Solution A = 100 g / 125 mL = 0.80 g/mL

Density of Solution A = 225 g / 100 mL = 2.25 g/mL

d)

Density of Solution A = 100 g / 100 mL = 1.00 g/mL

Hint: the denisty of salt water is 1.17 g/mL

a)

Yes, it will work as intended.

b)

No, it will not work as intended.

c)

It depends on the concentration of the salt solution.

d)

There is not enough information to determine.

19.

The toy works because of its density and the materials it is made from. Which of the following best explains why the toy works?

a)

The toy floats because its density is less than water and it is made of lightweight materials.

b)

The toy sinks because its density is greater than water and it is made of heavy materials.

c)

The toy floats because it is made of metal.

d)

The toy sinks because it is made of plastic.

20.
