Matter Quizzes & Trivia

This is a quiz about the law of conservation of matter, about physical and chemical changes, and sublimation.


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    A physical change will:

    • A.

      Create a new substance.

    • B.

      Will have an energy transference.

    • C.

      Will use oxidation.

    • D.

      Will change the properties of the substance.

    Correct Answer
    B. Will have an energy transference.
    Explanation
    A physical change refers to a change in the form or state of matter without altering its chemical composition. In this case, the correct answer is "will have an energy transference." This is because during a physical change, energy is either absorbed or released, resulting in a transfer of energy. This can be observed, for example, when ice melts into water or when a solid is heated and turns into a gas. The change in energy is a characteristic of physical changes and is not directly related to the creation of a new substance, oxidation, or changing the properties of the substance.

  • 2. 

    A chemical change will:

    • A.

      Will not have an energy transference.

    • B.

      Might use electrolysis.

    • C.

      Will create a new substance.

    • D.

      Will create a new compound.

    Correct Answer
    B. Might use electrolysis.
    Explanation
    A chemical change refers to a process where one or more substances are transformed into different substances with different properties. Electrolysis is a method that involves the use of an electric current to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. It is commonly used to break down compounds into their constituent elements or ions. Therefore, it is possible for a chemical change to involve the use of electrolysis as a means to create new substances or compounds.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    _______________ is the effect of a substance changing from a solid to a gas.

    Correct Answer
    Sublimation
    Explanation
    Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid state to a gas state, bypassing the liquid state. This occurs when the substance is heated and the vapor pressure of the solid exceeds the atmospheric pressure. During sublimation, the particles of the substance gain enough energy to break the intermolecular forces holding them together in the solid state, resulting in the formation of a gas. This process is commonly observed in substances like dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (naphthalene).

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Explain, with an example, why matter cannot be destroyed.

  • 5. 

    Three substances that sublimate are: __________________, __________________,and _____________________________________________________________.

    Correct Answer
    iodine, dry ice, snow under a sudden warm up
    Explanation
    The three substances that undergo sublimation are iodine, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), and snow under a sudden warm up. Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly converts into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Iodine crystals, dry ice, and snow can all undergo sublimation when exposed to specific conditions. In the case of snow, a sudden warm up causes the solid snow to directly convert into water vapor without melting into liquid water.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Give an example of an exothermic energy transference and EXPLAIN why it is exothermic.

  • 7. 

    Give an example of an endothermic energy transference and EXPLAIN why it is endothermic.
