Chemical and Physical Changes in Matter
What remains after heating the salt (NaCl) solution and evaporating the water?
Salt (NaCl) crystals
Which formula is used to calculate the density of a liquid?
Mass ÷ Volume
Which tool is used to monitor liquid temperature?
Thermometer
Which method is used to find the volume of a rock?
Water displacement
Dissolving salt (NaCl) in water is a reversible physical change.
True
A chemical change always results in:
A new substance being formed
Why is the tare function used before adding the liquid?
To reset the balance to zero
Which temperature is not listed in the experiment's procedure?
50°C
How is volume determined in the water displacement method?
By subtracting final and initial water volumes
Large rocks always have a higher density than small rocks.
False – Density is independent of size.
Burning a substance is an example of a _________ because new substances are formed.
chemical change
Which of the following liquids is expected to have the highest density?
Pancake syrup
What usually happens to a liquid’s density when it's heated?
It decreases
A possible source of error in this experiment is _________.
air bubbles
A precipitate form when two solutions chemically react to form an insoluble solid.
True
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
Which liquid is typically the least dense?
Ethanol
Cooling a liquid increases its ________.
Density
If a rock floats in water, its density is:
Less than 1 g/mL
Oil and water mix easily because they have similar densities.
False – They do not mix because they have different polarities and densities.
Which of the following is NOT a sign of a chemical change?
Change in state (solid to liquid)
If a liquid _______ on another, it has a lower density.
floats
Why is volume measured at different temperatures in this experiment?
To understand temperature effects on density
What unit is used for recording rock density?
g/mL
As temperature increases, molecules in a liquid slow down and compress together.
False – They move faster and spread apart.
