1. What is matter? Anything with Mass and Volume 2. What is a physical property? Any property dealing with the physical aspect of an item, like color or shape. List five common physical properties. Color, shape, temp, length, volume. 3. Classify each of the following as a physical or chemical property. a. iron and oxygen form rust Physical b. iron is more dense than aluminum Physical c. magnesium burns brightly when ignited Chemical d. oil and water do not mix e. mercury melts at -39oC Physical 4. Distinguish between the three states of matter based on their shape, volume, and compressibility. Liquid takes the shape of the container, a solid holds its shape, and gas will disperse until contained 5. Describe the difference between a mixture and a pure substance. A pure substance is not mixed with anything its only by itself 6. Classify each of the following as a substance or a mixture. a. gold (Au) Pure b. vegetable soup Mixture c. saltwater Mixture d. table salt (sodium chloride) Mixture 7. What is the difference between a heterogeneous mixture and a

homogeneous mixture? Give an example of each. Hetero means different and homo means same. A homogenous mixture is a mixture of just one type of substance. Like water and juice. But hetero is like a stew. 8. Distinguish between suspensions and colloids. Suspensions are homogenous and colloids are hetero but appear homo. 9. You shine a beam of light through a colorless liquid and the beam cannot be seen in the liquid and shines right through to the wall. Is this a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture? Explain your answer. 10. You need to separate water from salt in a saltwater mixture. a. Why would it not work to filter the mixture? The mixture is to fine or the particles are to small. b. Propose another method for separating this mixture. You could evaporate the water and just leave the salt 11. Using the periodic table, write the name of the element from the chemical symbol. a. He c. N b. Na d. F

12. Name the elements contained in the following compounds. a. b. c. sodium chloride (NaCl) ammonia (NH3) ethanol (C2H6O)

13. Classify each of these samples of matter as an element, a compound, a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture. a. table sugar Hetero b. arsenic Element c. muddy water Hetero d. air 14.What happens to the energy, order, and spacing of particles when a gas condenses?
