- Q1In which way are evaporation and condensation similar?Both are caused by the warming of the atmosphere.Both cause decreases in air temperature.Both are caused by changes in heat energy.Both cause increases in air temperature.60s5.P.2.1
- Q2Which is an example of a different substance being formed?glass breakingmetal meltingwood burningwater freezing60s5.P.2.3
- Q3After a rain, a puddle of water remains on a sidewalk. After a day of sunshine, the puddle is gone. Which process is MOST responsible for the disappearance of the puddle?transpirationprecipitationevaporationcondensation60s5.P.2.1
- Q4If 10 grams of water are added to 5 grams of salt, how much salt water will be made?10 grams5 grams15 grams2 grams60s5.P.2.2
- Q5A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which BEST describes the mass of the balloon as a result of this change?The mass of the balloon stays the same because the gas inside the balloon still has the same mass after it warms upThe mass of the balloon increases because the size of the balloon has increased.The mass of the balloon increases because the temperature of the balloon has increased.The mass of the balloon stays the same because warming decreases the mass enough to cancel out the effect of increasing the size.60s5.P.2.2
- Q6What must occur before clouds can form?Transpiration must add water vapor to the atmosphere.Water vapor must lose heat energy.Precipitation must begin to fall and run off.Water vapor must get warmer.60s5.P.2.1
- Q7Which process allows green plants to control the amount of water stored in their leaves?transpirationphotosynthesisrespirationcondensation60s5.P.2.1
- Q8One morning, Jane notices drops of water on the outside of a window. Later in the day, she notices that the drops have disappeared. What MOST LIKELY caused the drops to disappear?The water condensed on the plants around the house.The water cooled enough to turn into water vapor.Wind blowing on the window turned the water into vapor.Energy from the sun caused the water to evaporate.60s5.P.2.1
- Q9Which of the following describes the process of matter changing from a gas to a liquid?condensationmelting pointfreezing pointsublimation60s5.P.2.3
- Q10What is the difference between a chemical and a physical change?A chemical change does not produce a new substance, and a physical change DOES produce a new substanceDuring a chemical change, the substance stays the same.A chemical change does not change the arrangement of atoms and a physical change DOES change the arrangement of atoms.A chemical change is irreversible and a physical change is reversible60s5.P.2.3
