What happens to the particles in a solid when it melts?

They are no longer locked together, and can slide freely around each other.

100

Name the three most common states of matter on Earth.

Solid, Liquid, and Gas.

100

What is the direction that energy will flow in this diagram?

Right: From High Thermal Energy to Low Thermal Energy. 
100

In a chemical reaction, what are the starting substances called?

Reactants.

100

What does “conservation of mass” mean?

Matter is not created or destroyed, or atoms are not added or lost in a chemical reaction. 

200

What a liquid turns into a gas, what do we call that process?

Boiling, Evaporation, aka: Vaporization

200

Which state of matter has an unchanging shape and volume?

Solid.

200

When you hold an ice cube, why does your hand feel cold?

The thermal energy from your hand is flowing into the ice cube. 

200

What are the substances formed after the reaction called?

Products.

200

In this reaction, A + B → AB, what must be true about the number of atoms before and after?

The amount of A and B as reactants must equal the amount of A and B produced as the product AB

The amount of atoms before and after will be the same. 

300

What phase change occurs when a gas turns back into a liquid?

Condensation.

300

Why can liquids flow, but solids can't?

Liquid particles can move freely around each other, but solid particles are locked in place.

300

In an endothermic process, what happens to the motion of particles?

Energy is absorbed, so particles will move faster. 

300

Identify the reactants and products in this reaction: Hydrogen + Oxygen -> Water

Reactants: Hydrogen + Oxygen

Product: Water

300

Why does a burning candle seem to “lose” mass even though it follows conservation of mass?

The reaction of burning a candle turns some of the candle into gases, which float away and appear to be lost. 

400

Dry ice skipping the liquid stage and turning into gas is called what?

Sublimation.

400

What happens to particles movement as temperature decreases. 

They move slower and may start to stick together.

400

In an exothermic process, what happens to the motion of particles?

Energy is released, so particles move slower. 

400

Identify the reactants and products in CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂ 

Reactant:  CaCO₃

Products:  CaO + CO₂ 

400

How can you prove mass is conserved in a reaction?

Measure the mass of reactants and products and observe that they are the same. 

500

During boiling, why doesn't temperature increase once the liquid starts bubbling?

That energy is going toward the liquid particles breaking free into gas particles.

500

Why can gases be squished, but liquids and solids cannot?

Gas particles are far apart, so there is room left to be squished closer. Liquid and solid particles are already close together and cannot be squished closer. 

500

What is the main difference between endothermic and exothermic processes?

Whether energy is absorbed or released by the process. 

500

In the equation Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂ , explain what happens to the zinc, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms during the reaction.

The atoms are rearranged, with the hydrogen and chlorine breaking apart, two chlorine bond with a zinc, and two hydrogens bond with each other. 

500

Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass connects to Coefficients in chemical equations.

Ex:  2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

The coefficients tell you how many molecules are needed as reactants and how many are produced as products in order for the equation to be balanced

In other words, its lets the amount of atoms before and after to be the same.
