- Q1
Which material would be BEST for electrical wiring?
nonmetals, because they are brittle and poor conductors of electricity
metals, because they are ductile and good conductors of electricity
metals, because they are brittle and poor conductors of electricity
300s - Q2
Which group of nonmetals will react with Group 1 metals to form a compound in a one-to-one ratio?
Group 17
Group 12
Group 15
300s - Q3
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the model shown?
The bond is polar and the electrons are shared evenly.
The bond is nonpolar and the electrons are shared evenly.
The bond is polar and the electrons are shared unevenly.
300s - Q4
In a lab, a sample of magnesium (Mg) is being tested to determine several properties. Which of the following test results determine chemical properties of magnesium?
density is 1.74 g/cm3
melting Point is 650°C and density
flammable and ability to react with hydrochloric acid (HCl)
300s - Q5
In the science lab, students were asked to make a statement as to whether adding Mentos (candy) to Coke (soda/pop) is a chemical or physical change. When Mentos are placed in Coke, carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the liquid Coke is released as gas.
Chemical change, because whenever a gas is given off a chemical change has occurred.
Physical change, because matter is not lost in the reaction of Coke and Mentos.
Physical change, because no new product is produced, aqueous carbon dioxide is changed to gaseous carbon dioxide.
300s - Q6
What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 10.0 g , and when placed in a graduated cylinder the volume changed from 60 mL to 65 mL ?
2 g/ml
2.5 g/mL
7.0 g/mL
300s - Q7
Which of the following are physical properties of substances with strong intermolecular forces?
high boiling point and high viscosity
high boiling point and low viscosity
low boiling point and high viscosity
300s - Q8
In a lab, a group of students placed a penny in a test tube and then added 25.0 mL of Nitric acid into the test tube. The students observed the following: a strong metallic smell, violent bubbling and a brownish/green gas given off. The students also observed that the penny became shiny and then completely disappeared.
he volume of the test tube increases after the addition of nitric acid.
The nitric acid begins to bubble.
The penny becomes shiny when it comes in contact with nitric acid.
300s - Q9
Two students were conducting an experiment. Each student had a test tube filled with
40.0 mL of a clear liquid. The students drop a penny into each test tube and measures the rate at which the penny falls. The students’ data is shown below:
Time to reach the bottom of the test tube
Tube A ---- 10.0 sec
Tube B ---- 4.0 sec
Which test tube contains the substance that is more viscous or has a higher viscosity?
Tube A because it took a longer time to reach the bottom of the test tube.
Test tube B, because it took a longer time to reach the bottom of the test tube.
Test tube A, because it took a shorter time to reach the bottom of the test tube.
300s - Q10
A student is trying to identify an unknown mineral by finding its density. He finds the mass of a weighing boat to be 20g. To find the volume, he added 40 mL of water to a graduated cylinder and then added the mineral. The water level then rose to 48.5 ml.
Density/Mineral
2.16 Halite
2.35 Gypsum
2.65 Quartz
2.32 Calcite
3.18 Fluorite
What is the identity of the mineral?
Quartz
Fluorite
Gypsum
300s - Q11

Trial 2
2.66 g
2.64 g
2.67 g
Trial 3
2.53 g
3.1 g
1.67 g
Which balance shows the correct mass?
Trial 2
Trial 3
Trial 1
300s - Q12
In a chemistry class, you are given 3 liquids: Liquid A, Liquid B, and Liquid C.
Liquid A has a density of 1 g/mL.
Liquid B has a density of 0.95 g/mL.
Liquid C has a density of 1.07 g/mL.
The mass of a cork is 2.3g and its volume is 2.6mL. When the liquids are mixed together in a graduated cylinder, where would the cork be located if placed into the mixture of liquids?
Between liquids B and C
Between liquids A and B
At the bottom of the graduated cylinder
300s - Q13
Four students are planning an experiment to gather evidence to compare the physical
Properties of 3 different substances to determine the strength of their INTERMOLECULAR forces between molecules.
Which student has the BEST plan to accomplish this goal?
Student #2 will compare 3 different substances to check their melting point, boiling point and viscosity.
Student #3 will compare 3 different substances to check their mass.
Student #1 will compare 3 different substances to see how long it takes the same amount of each to dissolve.
300s - Q14
A student believes she has determined the identity of a substance. However, in order to be certain, she must collect more data. Identify which of the following would be categorized as tests for physical properties and which would be tests for chemical properties.
Color
Combustibility
Reactivity
