A mixture is ...
- A.
A pure substancae
- B.
Two or more substances mixed together
Correct Answer
B. Two or more substances mixed togetherExplanation
The correct answer is "Two or more substances mixed together." This explanation is based on the definition of a mixture, which is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together. In a mixture, the substances retain their individual properties and can be separated through physical means. Therefore, a mixture is not a pure substance but rather a combination of different substances.Rate this question:

Mixtures can be classified into 2 types, homogeneous and heterogeneous. They are different because
- A.
Heterogenous has 2 substances. Homogenous has 3 or more substances
- B.
Homogeneous looks the same throughout, with heterogenous you can see the different parts
- C.
Heterogeneous looks the same throughout, with homogeneous you can see the different parts
- D.
They are the same, just different names
Correct Answer
B. Homogeneous looks the same throughout, with heterogenous you can see the different partsExplanation
The correct answer is that homogeneous mixtures look the same throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures allow you to see the different parts. This is because in a homogeneous mixture, the substances are evenly distributed and cannot be easily distinguished, whereas in a heterogeneous mixture, the substances are not evenly distributed and can be visually identified as separate components.Rate this question:

What happens when you try to make a solution of salt and oil?
- A.
It becomes a homogeneous solution, the salt dissolves into the oil
- B.
It becomes a heterogeneous mixture, the salt doesn't dissovle into the oil
- C.
The oil can only dissolve a little bit of salt
Correct Answer
B. It becomes a heterogeneous mixture, the salt doesn't dissovle into the oilExplanation
When you try to make a solution of salt and oil, it becomes a heterogeneous mixture because the salt does not dissolve into the oil. Salt is soluble in water but not in oil, so it will not mix evenly with the oil. Instead, the salt particles will remain separate and visible within the oil, creating a mixture with distinct phases.Rate this question:

A pure substance always has ______ density when measured under _____ conditions.
- A.
The same; different
- B.
The same; the same
- C.
A different; the same
- D.
A different; different
Correct Answer
B. The same; the sameExplanation
A pure substance always has the same density when measured under the same conditions. This means that regardless of the amount of the substance or the size of the sample, the density will remain constant. Additionally, the conditions under which the measurement is taken, such as temperature and pressure, also do not affect the density of a pure substance. Therefore, both the substance itself and the conditions of measurement contribute to the consistency of density.Rate this question:

Mixture
- C.
Balance
- D.
Combustibility
Correct Answer
B. MixtureExplanation
A solution is a type of mixture. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are physically combined and can be separated through physical means. In the case of a solution, it is a homogeneous mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another substance (solvent) to form a uniform mixture. The solute particles are dispersed throughout the solvent particles, creating a homogeneous distribution. Therefore, a solution is a specific type of mixture where substances are dissolved in a solvent.Rate this question:

What causes matter to change from one state to another?
- A.
Light
- B.
Heat
- C.
Sound
- D.
Gasoline
Correct Answer
B. HeatExplanation
Heat causes matter to change from one state to another. When heat is applied to a substance, it increases the kinetic energy of its particles, causing them to move faster. This increase in energy can break the bonds between particles, leading to a change in the arrangement and movement of the particles. As a result, the substance can undergo a phase change, such as melting from a solid to a liquid or vaporizing from a liquid to a gas. Therefore, heat is the primary factor responsible for changing the state of matter.Rate this question:
-
- 38.
The molecules in a solid stay closely and vibrate against each other.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together and are held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces. These forces cause the molecules to vibrate or oscillate around their equilibrium positions. This vibration is responsible for the solid's rigidity and its ability to maintain its shape. Therefore, the statement that the molecules in a solid stay closely and vibrate against each other is true.Rate this question:
-
- 39.
The molecules in a liquid spread out to fill the entire container.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because molecules in a liquid do not spread out to fill the entire container. While molecules in a gas have high kinetic energy and can move freely to occupy the entire space available, molecules in a liquid are closely packed together and have less freedom of movement. They can move and flow within the container, but they do not spread out to fill the entire volume.Rate this question:
-
- 40.
The molecules in a gas move fast and spread out to fill the entire container.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The molecules in a gas have high kinetic energy, causing them to move rapidly in random directions. This constant motion allows them to spread out and occupy the entire available space within a container. As a result, gases do not have a fixed shape or volume and can easily fill any container they are placed in. Therefore, the statement that the molecules in a gas move fast and spread out to fill the entire container is true.Rate this question:

An object will ______ in a fluid, if its density is lower than that of the fluid.
Correct Answer
floatExplanation
An object will float in a fluid if its density is lower than that of the fluid. This is because the buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the object is greater than the gravitational force pulling the object down. As a result, the object will experience an upward force that causes it to float on the surface of the fluid.Rate this question:
- 42.
If buoyant force is greater than the weight of the fluid, the object will ___ in the fluid.
Correct Answer
floatExplanation
If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the fluid, the object will float in the fluid. This is because the buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid, and it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. When the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the fluid, it means that the object is less dense than the fluid, causing it to float.Rate this question:
- 43.
An object will ____ in a fluid, if its density is greater than that of the fluid
Correct Answer
sinkExplanation
If an object has a greater density than the fluid it is placed in, it will sink. This is because the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force exerted by the fluid, causing it to sink downwards.Rate this question:
- 44.
_________ force is the force that pushes up on an object in the fluid.
Correct Answer
BuoyantExplanation
Buoyant force is the force that pushes up on an object in a fluid. This force is exerted due to the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. It acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity, causing objects to float or become buoyant in the fluid.Rate this question:

- A.
The mass of the key chain.
- B.
The weight of the key chain.
- C.
The volume of the key chain.
- D.
The density of the key chain.
Correct Answer
A. The mass of the key chain.Explanation
To figure out how much matter is in the key chain, Jose should measure the mass of the key chain. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains, so by measuring the mass of the key chain, Jose can determine how much matter it contains. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object and can vary depending on the location. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object and is not directly related to the amount of matter it contains. Density is the mass per unit volume and can be calculated using the mass and volume, but it does not directly measure the amount of matter in the key chain.Rate this question:

What tool should you use to measure the volume of a rock?
- A.
Triple Beam Balance
- B.
Spring Scale
- C.
Graduated Cylinder
- D.
Ruler
Correct Answer
C. Graduated CylinderExplanation
A graduated cylinder is the most appropriate tool to measure the volume of a rock. This is because a graduated cylinder is designed to accurately measure the volume of liquids and irregularly shaped objects, such as rocks. It has markings along its side that allow for precise measurements of the volume of the rock by measuring the amount of liquid displaced when the rock is submerged in the cylinder. The other options, such as a triple beam balance, spring scale, and ruler, are not designed for measuring volume and would not provide accurate results in this case.Rate this question:
