1.

Which procedure would best allow a scientist to observe a chemical property of hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution?

a)

cooling the HCl solution until it becomes solid, and measuring this temperature

b)

adding zinc to the HCl solution and observing whether or not bubbles are produced

c)

placing a conductivity probe into a beaker of HCl solution to determine if it conducts electricity

d)

measuring the mass of and volume of a sample of HCl solution to find its density

2.

Suppose that a substance in a beaker is heated over a burner in a science lab. Which observation would most likely indicate that a chemical change has occurred in the substance?

a)

If the substance is a liquid or solid, an increase in temperature would indicate a chemical change.

b)

If the substance is a liquid, a change of some of the liquid to gaseous form would indicate a chemical change.

c)

If the substance is a solid, a change of some of the solid to liquid form would indicate a chemical change.

d)

If the substance is a liquid or solid, production of an odor would indicate a chemical change.

3.

Based on the above description of transpiration and photosynthesis, which type of change happens to water during each process?

a)

In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a physical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a chemical change.

b)

In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a chemical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a physical change.

c)

In transpiration, because its physical properties change, water undergoes a physical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a chemical change.

d)

In transpiration, because its chemical properties change, water undergoes a chemical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a physical change.

4.

Tijuan mixed a solid and a liquid together in a beaker. He determined that a chemical change occurred. If his conclusion is correct, which substances could he have been observing and why?

a)

ice mixed into warm oil, because the change of state that occurred when the ice melted cannot be reversed

b)

baking soda mixed into vinegar, because the production of bubbles indicates that a new substance formed

c)

sugar mixed into hot water, because the disappearance of solid indicates that the chemical identity of the sugar changed

d)

sand mixed into water, because when sand was added the mass of the beaker increased

5.

If two items are equal in size, the denser one will

a)

be lighter.

b)

be heavier.

c)

have more volume.

d)

have less volume.
