8.

Students measure the mass of three objects on a pan balance and then measure their weight using a spring scale. They record their results in the table below.

What change would occur if the mass and weight of the objects were measured on the moon?

a)

Mass and weight would remain consistent

b)

Mass and weight would both change

c)

Mass would not change, but weight would change

d)

Mass would change, but weight would not change

9.

The students in Ms. Ramirez's science class are classifying different types of reactions. They have divided the reactions into two columns as shown below. Use the table to answer

the questions that follow. Why are the reactions listed in Column A classified as chemical reactions?

a)

They form new substances

b)

They do not change the characteristics of the original substance

c)

They change the shape of the substance

d)

The products of the reaction can be changed back into the original products easily

A student is trying to separate a mixture of salt and pieces of iron.

Which method would be most useful for separating these two compounds?

a)

Use a magnet on the sample

b)

Mix the sample with water

c)

Test to see if the sample is conductive

d)

Find the volume and mass of the sample in order to find the density

12-14.

The images below show the masses and compositions of six cubes. The cubes each have a volume of 1 cm3.

12.

Which of the following has the greatest density?

a)

silver

b)

copper

c)

aluminum

d)

gold

13.

A 6-cm3 cube with a mass of 63 g is made up of what substance?

a)

iron

b)

silver

c)

aluminum

d)

lead

14.

A student measured a 4.5 cm3 piece of aluminum and calculated its density to be 2.7 g/cm3 . Based on the information given, is her calculation accurate?

a)

No, because different-sized pieces of aluminum will have different densities.

b)

No, because the volume of a sample of aluminum is not related to its density.

c)

Yes, because experimental error can affect any experimental data.

d)

Yes, because the density of aluminum doesn’t change based on the size of the sample.

15.

Two groups of students were tested to compare their speed working math problems. Each group was given the same problems. One group used calculators and the other group computed without calculators. Match the variables for the experiment.

a)

Dependent Variable

1.

speed of working math problems

b)

Controlled Variable

2.

Same problems

c)

Independent Variable

3.

Use of calculators

16.

Students mix two substances together. The starting materials are shown below.

After these substances are mixed, what would be the best way to separate the component parts?

a)

Put the mixture on the stove, because the water will boil off, leaving the salt behind

b)

Use a strong magnet, because the salt will be attracted to them but the water will not

c)

Shake it through a series of fine mesh sieves, because the particle sizes are different

d)

Place the beaker in a bowl of ice, because cooling the solution will cause the salt to melt away

17.
