Question 1
A student stirs a spoonful of powdered drink mix into a glass of water until the powder can no longer be seen. The water turns red and tastes sweet. What is the best evidence that the powder is still present as matter?
Correct Answer:
The water’s color and taste changed even though the powder disappeared from view
Question 2
Students measure the mass of a sealed plastic bag that contains baking soda and vinegar in separate compartments. They tip the bag so the materials mix, the bag puffs up, and they measure the mass again. If no gas escaped, what should they observe?
Correct Answer:
The total mass stays about the same because matter is conserved
Question 3
A class sorts four unknown white solids using property tests. Which set of observations best helps identify which solid is table salt rather than sugar, chalk dust, or baking soda?
Correct Answer:
Solubility in water, crystal shape under a hand lens, and reaction with vinegar
Question 4
Two students have 50 g of iron filings mixed with 50 g of sand. They use a magnet to pull out the iron. If they carefully collect all the iron and all the sand, about how much total mass should they have?
Correct Answer:
About 100 g, because separating a mixture does not destroy matter
Question 5
A teacher places an ice cube in a dry, sealed plastic container on a balance. After the ice melts completely into liquid water, the mass reading is the same. What does this investigation best support?
Correct Answer:
Changing state from solid to liquid does not change the amount of matter
