Chemical Reaction
A fully charged battery sitting on a shelf represents stored energy. What specific type of potential energy is stored within the battery?
Chemical Potential Energy
You fill a glass of water completely to the rim, but you are able to add a few more drops before the water spills over, creating a dome shape.
Surface Tension
A piece of metal has a mass of 135 g. When placed in a graduated cylinder containing water, the water level rises from an initial volume of 40.0 mL to a final volume of 55.0 mL. What is the density of the metal? **Solve for the Volume first**
D = M/V
Solve for Volume - 55 mL - 40 mL = 15 mL (1 mL = 1 cm3)
135g / 15cm3 = 9 g/cm3
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it is only changed and rearranged.
If an element is shiny, conducts electricity and heat well, and is malleable, it probably belongs to which periodic family? (Cu, Ti, and Fe are members of this family)
Metals
Explain the particle motion of atoms all 3 phases and describe their shape and volume.
Solid - particles vibrate in place - definite shape and definite volume
Liquid - particles flow over one another - definite volume and NO definite shape
Gas - particles expand to fill any given space, moving quickly - NO Definite Shape or Volume
Mixture - Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Argon (Ar), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), etc.
Energy transferred through direct contact between two objects or substances is known as:
Conduction
Ice melting into water and being placed back into the freezer and refreezing.
Physical Changes
A hydroelectric dam converts the energy of falling water into electrical energy. What is the fundamental energy transformation that takes place at the turbine?
Gravitational Potential Energy -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
Water is drawn from the roots of a tall tree all the way up to its highest leaves against the force of gravity.
Capillary Action
Solve for the Sphere's mass: D = M/V
Sphere's Density (D) =2.5 g/cm3
Sphere's Volume (V) =48 cm3
2.5 g/cm3 = m/48 cm3 -> 2.5 g/cm3 x 48 cm3 = Mass
Mass = 120 grams
The upstairs in a house is usually warmer than downstairs. This is due to this type of heat transfer _________________________________.
Convection
An element has 38 protons and 38 electrons. What is the element's name and chemical symbol, and what is the mass of this element?
Strontium - 87.62 AMUs
Explain why not all molecules are compounds.
Compounds must contain combinations of 2 or more different elements. - Carbon Dioxide - CO2
Molecules can be combinations of the same element - Breathable Oxygen O2
Baking Soda - NaHCO3
Compound

Crumpling a Sheet of Paper
Physical Reaction
Identify what is happening at each of the specified areas along the track - Between the 2 A's, Between C's, at D, and F.
Between C's Kinetic Energy is at it's Maximum
At D - Less Potential Energy but, less than the first hill
F - Used all of it's KE and PE - Stopped
After a rain shower, small droplets of water cling to the side of your car window or a spiderweb, sticking to the surface rather than falling straight down.
Adhesion
A solution has a mass of 85 g and a total volume of 65 mL. What is the density of the solution in g/mL?
D = Mass/Volume
D = 85 g / 65 mL
Density = 1.3 g/mL
