100

Dissolving salt (NaCl) in water is a reversible physical change.

True

200

A chemical change always results in:

A new substance being formed

200

Why is the tare function used before adding the liquid?

To reset the balance to zero

200

Which temperature is not listed in the experiment's procedure?

50°C

200

How is volume determined in the water displacement method?

By subtracting final and initial water volumes

200

Large rocks always have a higher density than small rocks.


False – Density is independent of size.

300

chemical change

300

Which of the following liquids is expected to have the highest density?

Pancake syrup

300

What usually happens to a liquid’s density when it's heated?

It decreases

300

A possible source of error in this experiment is _________.

air bubbles

300

True

400

When copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO₃)₂) is heated, toxic gases are released. What precaution should be taken?

Perform the experiment in a well-ventilated area

400

Which liquid is typically the least dense?

Ethanol

400

Cooling a liquid increases its ________.

Density

400

If a rock floats in water, its density is:


Less than 1 g/mL

400

Oil and water mix easily because they have similar densities.

False – They do not mix because they have different polarities and densities.

500

Which of the following is NOT a sign of a chemical change?

Change in state (solid to liquid)

500

If a liquid _______ on another, it has a lower density.

floats

500

Why is volume measured at different temperatures in this experiment?

To understand temperature effects on density

500

What unit is used for recording rock density?

g/mL

500

As temperature increases, molecules in a liquid slow down and compress together.

False – They move faster and spread apart.
