Can matter be destroyed?

No, it just changes form.

Does gas have volume? explain why or why not

Yes gas has volume, it takes up space.  One example is gas filling up a balloon.

What is viscocity?  

Name a liquid that has high viscocity and a liquid that has low viscosity.

The flow rate of a liquid.

high viscosity - honey

Low viscosity - water

What is the difference between a mixture and a solution?

 In a mixture, substances are generally just mixed and are not completely dissolved. In a solution, substances are dissolved completely and they cannot be filtered out.

When a leaf changes color is it a chemical change or a physical change?

Chemical change... this happens because of the change in temperatures in the atmosphere during the fall season.

Jennifer boils water and salt together.  Afer she turns the stove off and the water has cooled, she notices that the volume has decreased.  She thinks that some of the matter in the solution disappeared when it was heated.  Is Jennifer correct? 

The volume has decreased, however, the matter has not disappeared.  It has just changed form from a liquid to a gas.

Explain the water displacement method.

You put a specific amount of water in a cylinder or other container.  When you place the object in the water, the water will be displaced and it will move up. The amount of water that is displaced is the volume of the object.

Why did some of the liquids never separate in our density tower? 

The density of those liquids was identical or very close.

Give two examples of mixtures

possible examples:

trail mix

fruit salad

What type of change is a rotten banana? 

A chemical change.

300

When we boiled water in class we saw that the water was turning to steam.  What is this process called? 

Evaporation

300

What is the formula for volume of a rectangular prism?

length x width x height
300

Which has greater density vegetable oil or water?  How do you know?

Water has greater density because the vegetable oil floats on top.

300

Give two examples of solutions

Coca Cola

Coffee

Lemonade

Give a definition and an example of a chemical change.

A chemical change is when new matter is created and it is not reversible.  An example is a rusty nail. 

400

What is one way you could demonstrate the movement of gas particles?

Squeezing a balloon 

400

How could you find the volume of a cereal box?

You would need a ruler to measure Length x width x height.

400

If you had honey, oil and water in a cylinder, how would they appear in layers in a density tower?

Honey on the bottom, water in the middle, oil on top.

400

The two parts of a solution are called...

The solute (the substance that is being dissolved)

The solvent (the liquid that is doing the dissolving)

400

What is the definition of a physical change?  Give one example.

A change that occurs and does not create new matter.  An example is a crushed can.

500

Draw a Diagram to show the particles of a solid, liquid and a gas

500

You want to find the volume of a rock.  How could you find the volume?  

Water displacement method.  

500

What is the formula for density?

Density = Mass/ volume

500

You have two clear liquids that look exactly the same, however, your teacher explains that they are actually different liquids.  What could you do to identify the liquids?

Boiling point

Freezing point

solubility

density

viscosity

temperature

volume

Mass

Name two changes that occur when you bake a cake 

possible answers:

Chemical change - the actual baking

Physical change- mixing the dry ingredients together
