The opossum has 7 babies in all

The opossum has 6 babies on its back and 1 underneath it. 

100

Name some substances that are not soluble in water.

Examples: oil, rocks, corn starch. 

100

What is a reactant?

Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction,

100

Name some properties of water.

Liquid at room temperature, clear odorless substance. 

Puts out a flame. 

100

Define a chemical reaction

Atoms rearrange to create a new substance

Make Two qualitative observations of this picture.

There is a picture of a bird flying.

The bird has large blue grey wings.

The bird has a long orange beak.

The bird has a long white neck.

200

Is dissolving sugar in water a physical change or a chemical change? Answer and explain.

Physical. There is no new substance the particles just get mixed around. 

200

State the law of conservation of matter in one sentence


Double Jeopardy Question

 

Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction; total atoms remain the same.

200

Name some properties of carbon dioxide. 

Odorless, puts out a flame, invisible, denser then air. 

200

Name signs (evidence) of a chemical reaction? 

Bubbling, smoke, a smell, a solid appears, a color change.

300

What is a relevant observation about this reaction?

The liquid turned orange

300

A student mixes two clear solutions and the mixture becomes cloudy and gives off a smell. Which observation(s) indicate a chemical reaction and why?

Cloudiness (precipitate) and smell are evidence of chemical change; cloudiness indicates new solid, smell indicates new substances/volatiles.

300

 In a closed system, the total number of atoms before and after a chemical reaction is expected to: increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain briefly.

Stay the same — atoms are rearranged into new substances but not created or destroyed. 

300

List three properties you could measure to compare a substance before and after a reaction

density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, odor, color, conductivity

300

Two substances are mixed and an odor develops this indicates a .............. reactions

chemical

400

 Burning a candle produces light and ash. Is this a physical or chemical change? Explain which new substances form

 Burning candle = chemical change; new substances like carbon dioxide and water vapor (and solid soot) form.

400

Is dissolving a chemical reaction?

Not necessarily. It depends if there are signs of a chemical reaction and if the mixture is new substance cannot be separated and has new properties. 

400

Can the reactants vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) make sodium chloride as a product? Why or why not?

No because the reactants do not have the green chlorine circles and atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a reactions. 

400

Putting a match in a flask titled sideways after a bubbling reaction checks which property of the unknown gas. 

flammability

400

Adding electric energy to water creates bubbles. How do we know this is a chemical reaction? 

The gas that forms stays a gas at room temperature.

the gas that forms is flammable and creates a popping sound with a match.

500

Double Jeopardy Question

What are the products of these reactants?

Carbon dioxide and water 

500

Can something be soluble in water but not soluble in alcohol. Answer and give an example.

Yes Sodium citrate is soluble in water but not in alcohol

500

Can the reactants vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) make sodium acetate as a product? Why or why not?

 

Yes because it has all the atoms available. Sodium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

500

If we already know a gas is not flammable, it puts out a flame, when the flask is sideways. What test is being shown here. Explain.

It's density test. To see if the not flammable gas is lighter than air. 

500

Adding heat to water created bubbling, the bubbles popped and were full of a gas. Was this a chemical reaction and how do you know?

This is not a chemical reaction.

 The gas turned back to a liquid at room temperature and the density was the same as water. The gas put a flame out.

500

Can calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate make calcium carbonate?Reactants:Possible Products:

Yes because all the atoms are available to form this product.
