| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A one gram of sample of a substance that occupies a liter container completely and evenly throughout would be a | H2O (gas) |
| A student places an object in a glass of water and observes that the object sinks. Then the student dissolves 20 grams of salt in the water and notices that the object now floats. Explain what happened? | Salt water has a greater density than regular unsalted water. By adding salt the buoyancy of the fluid increased enough to support the object. The density of the salt water exceeded the density of the object. |
| Solid | Has a definite shape |
| Solid | Has a definite volume |
| Liquid | Does not have a definite shape |
| Liquid | Has a definite volume |
| Gas | Has no definite shape |
| Gas | Has no definite volume |
| Plasma | Has no definite volume |
| Plasma | Has no definite shape |
| What happens to the viscosity of water as you increase the temperature? | As temperature increases the viscosity decreases. |
| The student found a 2 L container without a label inside a cabinet in the back of a shed. The unknown chemical completely filled the container. What state of matter what the chemical? | Gas |
| The amount of energy needed to change a material from solid to a liquid is called | heat of fusion |
| A student read that by mixing 50 milliliters of water with 50 milliliters of alcohol will produce a solution with a volume less than 100 milliliters. Since science students are curious, what instrument should the student use to see if this was true? | Graduated Cylinder |
| Water is unusual because it ______ when it goes from liquid to a solid state. | Expands |
| Most matter will ______when it is heated. | expands |
| What will happen to a basketball if you played outside in the snow? | The particles in the ball will get closer together and the ball will seem to go flat. |
| As a simple of matter is heated, its particles move faster and further apart. | move faster and further apart |
| The particles that make up a solid move than do the particles that make up a gas. | more slowly |
| Write a question that could only be answered by a scientific investigation. | Does adding salt lower the boiling point of water? (for example: a question requiring a control, and independent and dependant variables.) |
| A fluid’s resistance to flow is called ? | viscosity |
| The most common state of matter in the universe is. | plasma |

| Briefly explain what happened to Titanic’s buoyancy to cause it sink. | As the Titanic took on water its mass increased and while its volume remained the same. The density of the Titanic increased beyond the density of the water, exceeding the buoyancy force generated by the water. |
| Matter in which particles are free to move in all directions until they have spread evenly throughout their container is a . | Gas |
| The theoretical point at which all molecular motion stops is called | _absolute zero (-273oC or 1 K) _. |
| The amount of energy needed to change a material from a liquid to a gas is called _. | the heat of vaporization |
