    • Mass

    • Matter

    • Solubility

    • Weight

    Correct Answer
    A. Matter
    Explanation
    Matter is the correct answer because it refers to any substance that has mass and occupies space. It includes everything around us, such as solids, liquids, and gases. Mass, weight, and solubility are all properties or characteristics of matter, but they do not encompass the entire definition of matter itself.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    ____ has a definate volume but no definite shape.

    • Solid

    • Liquid

    • Gas

    • Density

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquid
    Explanation
    A liquid has a definite volume because it takes up a specific amount of space, but it does not have a definite shape because it can flow and take the shape of its container. Unlike solids, which have a fixed shape, and gases, which can expand to fill any space, liquids maintain their volume while adapting to the shape of their container. Therefore, a liquid is the correct answer for this question.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following does not signal a chemical change?

    • Change in state

    • Production of gas

    • Color change

    • Production of light and heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Change in state
    Explanation
    A change in state does not signal a chemical change because it is a physical change. When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid or a gas, or vice versa, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same. In a chemical change, the substances involved undergo a rearrangement of atoms, resulting in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Therefore, the other options (production of gas, color change, production of light and heat) all indicate chemical changes as they involve the formation of new substances.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When iron rusts, it no longer conducts electricity. This is because it---

    • Is in water

    • Changed Chemically

    • Lost its luster

    • Changed physically

    Correct Answer
    A. Changed Chemically
    Explanation
    Iron rusting involves a chemical reaction where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. This process is known as oxidation. As a result of this chemical change, the iron surface is covered with a layer of iron oxide, which is a poor conductor of electricity compared to pure iron. Therefore, when iron rusts, it no longer conducts electricity due to the chemical changes that have occurred.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    In which of the case below, is a substance undergoing a chemical change?

    • Grinding coffee beans

    • Melting butter

    • Burning wood

    • Boiling Water

    Correct Answer
    A. Burning wood
    Explanation
    Burning wood is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction that results in the release of heat, light, and the formation of new substances. The wood undergoes combustion, breaking down its organic compounds and transforming into ash, smoke, and gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. This is different from physical changes like grinding coffee beans, melting butter, or boiling water, where the substances may change in form or state but do not undergo a chemical reaction to form new substances.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is Not a physical property?

    • Solubility

    • Density

    • Reactivity

    • Color

    Correct Answer
    A. Reactivity
    Explanation
    Reactivity is not a physical property because it refers to how a substance undergoes chemical reactions or interacts with other substances. Physical properties, on the other hand, are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Solubility, density, and color are all examples of physical properties as they can be determined without altering the substance's chemical makeup.

    Check the box that has homogeneous mixture.

    • Granite

    • Freshly brewed coffee

    • Oil and water

    Correct Answer
    A. Freshly brewed coffee
    Explanation
    Freshly brewed coffee is a homogeneous mixture because it is a uniform blend of coffee particles and water molecules. In a homogeneous mixture, the components are evenly distributed and cannot be easily distinguished from one another. In the case of coffee, the coffee grounds dissolve in the water, resulting in a uniform mixture with a consistent composition throughout. On the other hand, granite is a heterogeneous mixture as it consists of various minerals that are not uniformly distributed, and oil and water are immiscible, forming separate layers due to their different polarities.
