- Q1
Which statement correctly describes a sample of gas confined in a sealed container?
It has a crystalline structure.
It always has a definite volume, and it takes the shape of the container.
It consists of particles arranged in a regular geometric pattern.
It takes the shape and the volume of any container in which it is confined.

When exposed to very high temperatures, metals like iron can be turned into fluids that flow and can be poured into molds. What happens within the iron to allow it to flow?
The particles vibrate about equilibrium in an effort to minimize structural energy.
The particles collide at an increasing rate until reaching equilibrium structural energy.
The structural energy of the solid increases, and the particles begin to slide past each other.
The structural energy of the solid decreases, and the particles begin to collide with high frequency.
30s - Q3
Which statement correctly describes a sample of gas confined in a sealed container?
It has a small degree of freedom of motion, allowing it to fill any container in which it is confined.
It has a large degree of freedom of motion, allowing it to retain its shape no matter the container in which it is confined.
It has a small degree of freedom of motion, allowing it to retain its shape no matter the container in which it is confined.
It has a large degree of freedom of motion, allowing it to fill any container in which it is confined.
30s - Q4
A science teacher heated liquid ethanol for an experiment. When he turned up the temperature, the ethanol quickly disappeared, and a strong aroma filled the room. What happened to the ethanol?
Heating the particles in the ethanol removed some of their mass, decreasing their density and causing them to flow across the room as a liquid.
Heating the particles in the ethanol energized them, and they began to collide within the container until they escaped to fill the room as a gas.
Heating the particles in the ethanol removed some of their energy, and they began to slow down and condense within the container as a solid.
Heating the particles in the ethanol caused them to react and bond with gases in the air, which carried the liquid ethanol particles around the room.
