Q4 Unit 1 Test

Question 1

Which of the following properties does NOT change when the amount of a substance changes?

Question 2

A student measures the boiling point of 50 mL of a liquid and records 100 degrees C. She then measures the boiling point of 200 mL of the same liquid. What will she MOST LIKELY record?

Question 3

An object has a mass of 36 grams and a volume of 4 mL. What is the density of this object?

Question 4

A block of material has a density of 0.7 g/mL. What will happen when it is placed in water (density = 1.0 g/mL)?

Question 5

Which pair CORRECTLY groups properties as intensive and extensive?

Question 6

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, what does the temperature of a substance measure?

Question 7

Which state of matter has particles that slide past each other while maintaining a fixed volume?

Question 8

During a phase change, what happens to the temperature of a substance as energy continues to be added?

Question 9

Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) changes directly into carbon dioxide gas at room temperature. What is this phase change called?

Question 10

Which set of phase changes ALL require energy to be removed from the substance?

Question 11

On a heating curve, what does a flat horizontal section represent?

Question 12

Which statement BEST explains what happens to particles when a solid melts into a liquid?

Question 13

Thermal energy transfers from a hot object to a cold object until they reach the same temperature. What is this final state called?

Question 14

A metal spoon left in a pot of hot soup becomes hot at the handle. Which method of heat transfer is PRIMARILY responsible?

Question 15

How does heat energy from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to reach Earth?

Question 16

In a pot of boiling water, warm water rises and cool water sinks, creating circular movement. This is an example of:

Question 17

Which material would make the BEST insulator for keeping a hot drink warm?

Question 18

Which of these is a logical fallacy that attacks the person making an argument rather than addressing the argument itself?

Question 19

A student says: "You think we should have less homework? I guess you think students should never study at all!" Which logical fallacy is this student using?

Question 20

"Everyone is buying this brand of shoes, so they must be the best quality." Which fallacy BEST describes this argument?

Question 21

"Either you support the new school rule, or you want total chaos." This statement is an example of which fallacy?

Question 22

"If we let students pick their own seats, next they will want to skip class, and eventually no one will come to school at all." Which fallacy is this?

Question 23

"A famous actor says this face cream works, so it must be effective." Which fallacy is present in this claim?

Question 24

"This restaurant is the best because no other restaurant is as good." Which fallacy does this statement demonstrate?

Question 25

When evaluating a claim using the 3-question defense, what is the FIRST question you should ask?

Question 26

Density is an extensive property that changes depending on the amount of substance present.

Question 27

An object with a density of 2.5 g/mL will float in water.

Question 28

During freezing, energy is removed from the substance.

Question 29

Sublimation is the phase change from liquid directly to gas.

Question 30

Conduction is the only method of heat transfer that works through empty space.

Question 31

Metals are generally good conductors of heat.

Question 32

In convection, warm fluid rises and cool fluid sinks.

Question 33

A Red Herring fallacy introduces an unrelated topic to distract from the original argument.

Question 34

Match each phase change to its correct description.

Condensation
Melting
Deposition
Evaporation
Sublimation
Freezing
Question 35

Match each scenario to the heat transfer method it PRIMARILY demonstrates.

A pot handle gets hot on the stove
Warm air circulates from a heater
The Sun warms your face outside
A cold can warms in your hand
Question 36

Match each statement to the fallacy it demonstrates.

"You failed the last quiz, so your idea is worthless."
"Why talk about grades when the cafeteria food is terrible?"
